My next TV will be either a business/signage monitor or a computer monitor.
At least something without any connection outside. No network, no anything.
At most something like a Chromecast or similar.
Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions

Continue to never buy LG products again?
Gotcha. The advertising works, i guess…maybe not how they wanted to, though lol

“I dont want it to have anything, except google, the biggest invader of privacy there is” :p

You can still set up your own HTPC in your living room and configure it yourself.
And there are more solutions like from Apple (but they absolutely fucking track you as well) or other streaming box/stick solutions I am not aware of.
Unsure how good an Nvidia Shield is in regards to privacy. Your best bet for privacy is probably to just build your own solution on Linux.sinceasdf@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Nvidia is huge on producing AI and is certainly data-hungry. Without actually knowing, I would bet it’s about as bad as anything else. Since all your data is passing directly through their servers it’s trivial for them to do whatever they want with it.

Oh, they do have products without all that shit. They offer large screen monitors that are basically their TVs without the “smart” part.

i wager it has all the TV stuff gutted out, including the tuner… Which admittedly is only a problem if you use OTA and not cable.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 days ago
They have a bunch of display ports and HDMIs. You can buy the tuner you need (SAT, OTA, cable, other streamer), or use a PC&Linux and watch YT add-free.

Why would a TV need to know about addition?
