I was in the market for a new TV last year, and I found it difficult to find one that wasn't loaded with "smart" features. I didn't want the smart features since I already had a home theater PC, which I built myself. Plus from my limited prior experience with smart TVs, the UX on those is just awful. I didn't even consider the privacy issues, although I should have considering the Snowden leaks had just hit the news. Lucky me, the TV I ended up with was one of the LG Smart TVs that was caught leaking file names from USB devices (HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6759426 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6759426). Edit: It was also logging network folders. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6778397 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6778397
