Was looking at televisions today and saw that @sony’s Bravia televisions come with built-in surveillance courtesy of Google Android.
Won’t be getting one of those then (shame, the picture quality and sound are amazing. But nothing’s worth having spyware in your living room).

LG OLED is also non-Android based https://www.flatpanelshd.com/review.php?subaction=showfull&id=1506590109 … webOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS , haven't studied any privacy policies, though.

Have an LG projector with WebOS. Doesn’t require a connection to function. The Apple-recommended LG monitor I have for my computer has terrible ghosting though so vary of LG screens.

Don’t we all just want a dumb rectangular screen that does nothing but getting fed pretty pictures? I don’t want to buy anything “smart”.

Alas, what we want, what we’re told we want, and what we get are usually all different things :)

This consumer reports article my be useful. https://www.consumerreports.org/privacy/how-to-turn-off-smart-tv-snooping-features/ … FWIW, I’ve got an LG that has never been connected to the internet. The risk of stuff like this didn’t seem to outweigh what I would be getting from a “Smart TV” Dumb TV > Spyware TV

I've been very happy with dumb TVs from Samsung and Pioneer (and Kodi on Raspberry Pis for smarts without surveillance)

Don't know Panasonic, but don't Samsung sell some with Tizen, and LG with WebOS? Not sure how they are in terms of privacy but at least it is not Google
