Anyone who owns an LG smart TV must inform all guests and family members that they are being monitored – this is required by LG’s current terms of use. Meanwhile, LG monitors install potential malware and surveillance software on a connected Windows computer.
And you think the other manufacturers are different?
Only solution is NO NETWORK. Use as a simple TV. I have 2 fairly new LGs and none are network connected. They work perfectly that way. I learnt the lesson with my 15y old Samsung SmartTV, one of the first to the market, and it wanted to use a Samsung account for almost everything, even to use the Youtube client. Nope.
These are computer monitors, not TVs. Plugging them into a Windows box triggers Windows to silently install their “driver,” which silently installs a handful of other startup apps. It’s an escalation of the smartTV-wifi path.
Anybody truly worried about being monitored isn’t going to be running windows.
Better alternatives existing doesn’t give Windows a free pass to be as shitty as they want.
Of course it does. Your whining sure as fuck won’t change anything kiddo. You can downvote this fact all night long if it makes you feel better though 🤣
Yes… No true Scotsman would use Windows.

I grabbed a used Samsung dumb tv off fb market place but I haven’t decided how im going to configure a streaming device to it. All the streaming sticks do the same thing. Building my own sounds like a pain.
I have a little server but I want a remote and a basically have to make my own box to be able to cut out these 3rd party spies.
