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.
TVs shouldn’t get internet…
Of course they should. But you should be able to control what it does with that connection.
A TV just needs to be a dumb display and nothing more.
No. I would never use a TV that isn’t connected to a computer. It would be great if that computer was built-in with good peripherals, but only on the condition that the user owns it.
A TV connected to a computer is a dumb display and nothing more. Methinks you’re both in agreement.
