An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.

    Ironically LG still makes good screens. Just don’t ever connect their TVs to the network.

    Edit: If you must connect it to a network connect it to a different VLAN (Guest network) with no other devices.
