An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.

    I searched and couldn’t find a modern OLED from a reputable brand that didn’t have “smart” features.

      The only thing close I can think of are TVs made for hospital or retail screens.

      They have all the garbage removed I understand.

          Okay, the couple I’ve seen are pricier but seem to be the same screens, just without the bullshit that these companies make data or service provision money off.

          I won’t argue with it though, I’d have to look further.
