I finally got fed up with it last year and blocked the internet access of my TV on the router level becuase upon contacting support I learned that there was no way to turn off the microphone setting. For real. They just didn’t add that feature in to my model. I still can’t believe that.

It is a little incovneient that I have to turn on my PC before I can watch anything but man the freedom of knowing that TV won’t be spying on me 24/7 is freeing.

Next time I buy I will be looking for commercial displays with HDMI and DisplayPort if its even possible by then.
