Many video projectors don’t. My Epson doesn’t.
Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second

The question now is, even if I don’t connect the TV to Internet, what TV brand should I buy? Currently I have LG, but no way I’m supporting that even without Internet connection.

I can top it - my first desktop PC was an Epson. Come to think of it, my first printer was an Epson dot matrix. Loud as fuck but it was a good little workhorse.

Epsons were pretty chill printers. You could buy just the print head and you could use your own ink refills

Epson printers are pretty nice, on par with Brother for usability.

Bought an EH-TW7000 4K PRO-UHD Projector a couple years back for less than 1 kEUR. Was about the best value then, haven’t looked recently.

Yeah I get that. But I don’t want to use projector.

I can’t imagine using a TV. None of them are wall sized and I don’t have the space. Pull down screen fits the bill.

I can completely understand the use case, I just prefer the better display quality of a TV

hopfully they dont communicate locally with other lg or partnered devices
now or in the future

Fortunately these TVs are not yet sophisticated enough to communicate to the internet without your permission like Apple devices do now.

Well thing is, they all track you to some point.
Specs wise, LG still makes some of the best TVs. You want 4k 120Hz, they’ve got you. But if you feel morally unable to support a company that has opt-out tracking like this, you’re a bit more limited. I thought maybe Sony’s better, but nope. There’s instructions on how to disable ACR on their TVs too. Philips comes with Roku or Google TV, both of which snoop on you, but I don’t know if they do the automatic content recognition thing.
Dumb TVs exist, but good luck finding one with a decent resolution AND price.

Commercial ones would work I think, but viewing angles can be off on at least outdoor models.
HangingFruit@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
Yeah. I really like LG products. Will see what happens when my current TV stops working.
