You absolutely do not want these smart tvs connected to the internet. Do it once maybe to update firmware. Then use them as a dumb tv and put an apple TV in front of it.
All tvs from all manufacturers have microphones and they do listen an sell info.
Everyone things Facebook is listening but it really is your tv.

- therobots927 1y agoWhat a living nightmare. It’s getting to the point where it might be time to pressure companies like Best Buy to stop carrying them.
- sroussey 1y agoThey would not carry any TVs then. There are settings… deep, deep, hard to find settings.

- jordand 1y agoI've got an LG C2 and you can't disable the Bluetooth, so anyone can try to connect to it. No service menu options too. I've not yet found out if cutting the WiFi/Bluetooth antennas is the only option.
