Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second

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.

good luck finding one with a decent resolution AND price. That raises the question: is there one that has decent resolution and privacy, but is expensive? Those of us who can afford it should surely go for the privacy friendly option regardless of price. Boycotting the surveillance society that’s in full development is worth a lot.

  Commercial ones would work I think, but viewing angles can be off on at least outdoor models.

Yeah. I really like LG products. Will see what happens when my current TV stops working.
