I wonder if they have a "depressed loser" profile and what kind of ads I will get.

Rather have a TV from 1999. Hope LG goes under.

I see a lot of concern in this thread that future TVs would just peer-to-peer or cellular connect to do their dastardly functions. Wouldn't this be preventable by putting a fine wire mesh around the box on the rear of the panel? Sure, the signal could still go out through the panel, but that's bound to incur a lot of interference from the panel itself, right?

I rooted my 65" LG TV, and put a pi-hole in front of it.

The TVs are reporting a lot of anger. Add more cameras!

Are there any TV manufacturers out there that do great screens like the lg ones, but without all the rest of the bullshit?

We are in the market for a huge TV soon, and we were looking at the lg oled Evo. However I don't really like rewarding bad behaviour, so if there's any others you can suggest then suggest away...

My lg tv is honestly the best tv i have ever owned. I have 0 complaints, my old house got flooded a few years ago and the tv soaked up a good amount of water and after some running time, it went back to working flawlessly.

But i would never connect that fucker to the internet.

"Gee, boss. Says here 87% of viewers were angry with the TV for spying on them."

My LG OLED has never seen an internet connection and intend to keep it that way for a very long time: indefinitely.

So glad I haven't got a LGtv, I'd have to buy a sledgehammer as well.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (4 children)

They'll have to pay for the cellular connection themselves because I'm not gonna enter my wifi password into the tv lol. Been using a pc hooked up to the screen for ages. Screw "smart tv" features, slow and inconvenient as hell.
