You have TV+Apple TV+I am quessing some Android Box+nVidia Shield etc. You basically have 4 remotes and you need to juggle around.

What I want to achieve is how to put it "dumb" smart TV. All I want TV to have capability to play all audio, picture and video files, shared folder from my PC or NAS, plus the ability to play subtitles with movies. LG have exceptional capability to play every multimedia from USB. Plus it has exeptional capability to work with subtitles. Codepage can be changed, font size, position, color etc. However that does not work seamless when files ate on network.

Beware Smart TV internal video players. They are often limited in areas we take for granted (refresh rate switching, decent audio and video codec and wrapper support, multiple subtitle standard support etc.) and in particular most of them can only support PCM 2.0/DD and DD+/DTS if you are lucky - as they have to use TOSLINK/SPDIF or HDMI ARC for audio output (unless you are happy with TV speakers)

You really do need to look at an external STB solution if you want the best and most flexible system.  Our main viewing is TV + Apple TV 4K, with the CoreElec S912 Kodi box used when watching stuff that the ATV 4K (running the MrMC fork of Kodi) doesn't support.
