Forgive me, my friends, if this is a stupid question.
But since the modern LG panels have the apps built-in, what is the point of adding a standalone Apple TV 4K to one of these TVs?
Thank you!

I am using both ATV and LG apps. The LG is on UK VPN for the UK channels (BBC, ITV etc) and the ATV is for the rest.
I also use a combination of LG apps (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon) and ATV for the rest. I use ATVs on my main TVs, and the ATV app on LG on the secondary TVs where I don't necessarily need all the other apps. Another reason for the ATV, at least for me and my family, is Apple Fitness +.

Hi Matthew,
Apple TV has all the normal apps that the LG has but in most cases the sound is superior through the ATV and the stream bitrate for video is better.
In my case the exception is Netflix which I play through the LG app because it sounds better - don't ask me why that should be
Max and friends, you’re the best. As usual. So full of insight and always willing to help. Cheers and health to you!
