I have a new LG TV, holy moly what a terrible user experience.

My LG TV doesn't support Bluetooth, and it's only maybe eight years old.

Instead of simply connecting to Bluetooth headphones, you're supposed to put some LG app on your smart phone, then sync that via wifi with another app on the TV, then connect your smart phone to the headphones via Bluetooth.

Instead, I just watch less TV and will not purchase LG in the future.

(And let's stop pretending that "LG" stands for "Life's Good" like it says on the power-on splash screen. It means "Lucky Goldstar." If life was good, I'd be able to use Bluetooth headphones.)

Well it doesn't sound like you're having much luck with that setup, or would award it any gold stars, so there's that.
