G3 or bust. It's wild to me how many people are okay with manufacturers dropping DTS passthrough support.

It's wild to me how many folks buy $2000+ TVs without using an AVR and instead caring what kinda sound the TV supports

Why do you care what the TV does with audio? Audio should go from your source (a PC, a streaming device, a BR player, a game console, whatever) directly to the AVR.
Because mostly they point out the same thing I did originally.
Connect the BR player to the AVR. Then you have no reason to care what audio the TV passes, because it never receives any to pass.

I guess you didn't bother to read any of the answers to the question at your link?

Fact: if you attempt to watch a source that's been encoded with any sort of DTS audio, the source device will do the audio decoding and then send a PCM audio signal to the receiver, which will be outputted through your speakers. The end result is that your AVR was left out of the loop on the audio processing side of things.
You don't lose any quality with PCM audio, but that's not the point. I want my receiver doing the audio processing, that its job.
Opinion: if I'm dropping $2k on a television, I expect it will have the ability to passthrough any and all audio signals through to my receiver so that it can do its job. LG re-added DTS support back for the 2023 G3 and C3 models.

As your own link points out.
Because you hook your BR player (or console, streaming device, PC, etc) to the AVR
Not to the TV.
So what the TV passes through, or not, is totally irrelevant to anything since you are never sending audio to the TV in the first place.
You don't lose any quality with PCM audio, but that's not the point.
"It's just as good, but you should still care because... REASONS...." is not a compelling argument.
Further- again, the TV isn't in the loop at all in any of the setups I've discussed, so if it "passes" anything or not remains totally irrelevant to anything
But ok if you want it to do the audio decoding then set your bluray player to output bitstream instead of PCM.
Here's a link explaining this for you:
https://www.lifewire.co
Same with your PS5, your PC, etc. And of course insure they're connected to the AVR and not the TV
The link mentions cases where you might prefer one vs the other (for example Atmos, or wanting secondary audio like a commentary track)... both are generally swappable via a setting though.
Why are you using your TV for source switching and audio routing when you already dropped money on an AVR that already does all that and more?
