Smart TVs are everywhere! But who is the master? Amid the overall electronics boom thanks to A.I., one piece of electronics is almost unchanged financially. That is the digital display or flat-panel monitor. With good reason! The entire entertainment and streaming industry wants one of these device

    Not connecting it to the internet and using HDMI like we’ve been doing for the last 20 years…

      I hear that some models now require internet access to even be able to use it

        Sounds like a great item to return to the store for a full refund. Manufactures just love returned products, completely destroys the profit on the next several sales.

        My fear is that this will change. We already saw LG load malware via windows when connected. So in theory future devices like Roku and Apple TV could act as a proxy for the tv.

          I also fear we will have to install faraday mesh in our walls when these things start arriving with their own internet connection to collect your data and show you ads.

            There’s paint for that: https://ecospaints.net/browse-all/emr-shielding-paint
