It's extremely easy to not be tracked by these TV's. I have 3 LG OLEDs in my home, all just being HDMI displays and not connected to the internet.
Hard to find a better picture than LG OLED. Solid deal on a new 55.
FYI: It still records you and stores it locally if you ever connect it to the the internet again. You will have to upgrade the firmware while offline.
Yeah, I don't recommend buying LG anymore (as an owner of 2 OLEDs in my home and like 7-8 computer monitors). However, I'm not sure if any other TV is any better. Some of the dark patterns caught me, and I was careful and remember being confused as well. So consider who you support as well. If they conduct fair and honest business, or if they're trying to trick you. If they're trying to trick you, imagine what they're doing when you're not looking or aware!
A workaround only solves the action right now, not the intent and future actions should the company gain more marketshare and power.
I'm not sure what shill or fanboy would downvote you, but like to add what that video is about. It's a video from GamersNexus that does a lot of consumer advocacy, and their investigation into how LG TVs spy on you, even when you disable it. You'd be surprised at how nasty it all is.
Worth a watch, and if you do decide to buy this TV, keep it offline. You can still upgrade software offline if needed.
who cares if they track you. Its unavoidable nowadays. So what if they know you want a steak on Thursday and show you a photo of a steak. If you truly want to avoid being tracked... get rid of your smartphone, wifi, and don't ever touch the internet.
