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.
I recently purchased a current year TCL, I don’t remember the model number but it’s the one right under their flagship.
It’s 75" and is the most beautiful tv I’ve owned. Fast, almost OLED levels of dimming, I’m in awe when watching the right content.
I’d pay an extra $500 for a version with no smart capabilities. Let me turn it on and boot into my android box, or console, or whatever.
