Damn so this already started?
Is LG also doing this?
I think current advise is Sony but they are a lot more expensive for the same panel.
Not sure about LG. But it also depends on model as well afaik. Most Samsungs I know that were bought via Walmart, Best Buy, Costco, etc had that issue, but one of my commercial clients bought a couple and it was a non-issue, so ymmv. I typically like Sonys, but I also have a reseller account with them through my wholesaler and get them significantly cheaper than retail.
I have an LG GX and have never experienced this. I’d assume the G line and up won’t have this issue, and to my knowledge even the lower tier C models don’t have this issue. A friend of mine recently got a C3 (I think, idk what they’re up to yet, maybe 4? It’s the newest C model) and it doesn’t have this ad issue either.
I'll be honest, the 3 times I've seen it were Samsungs and purchased at box stores. The rest I have no firsthand experience, but I've seen enough people bitching about it online.
We bought a LG QED 80" 4k at Costco. Not once did I enter a wifi, hasn't asked me at all 6 months later.
Okkk. So you just don't use Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, paramount, NFL, plex, youtube etc?
Just use a hdmi input?
From what device?
They all spy on u.
Unless u are using Linux, but majority of people just use whatever is installed on tv
I do indeed use linux, on an unused laptop hidden away in my tv cabinet. I'm fairly confident it's not spying on me... but you never know. Unfortunately you are correct, most people do just use whatever is on the TV, ignorant to the accompanying issues this causes for both themselves and society at large.
Did you know you can connect an external device to your television and get Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, paramount, NFL, plex, youtube etc.
But ofc I do. So my question is - which device are u connecting?
Unless it's open source and called Kodi or you are connecting some Linux device - they all gonna be spying on u - that's my point.
A rasburry pi 4.
Ok. Congratufuckinglations - you are the o.ooo1 percenter that figured it out and probably uses Kodi on Raspbian?.
Why you angry bro? Now you know that there is a cheap and easy way for you to watch sponge bob with out your tv knowing that you have a thing for the girl squirrel.
Mmm sandy.
Not angry, that was a figure of speech . Which remote and Os do u use for RPI?
Have like 4 of rpi4b laying around maybe I'll try Kodi again
LibreELEC made it simple.
