I'm not. It still takes screenshots regardless of whether it can access your Internet connection to receive data or send it.

What I'm saying (though I failed at being clear) is that it will take screenshots of anything you put up on the screen (passwords, Internet connection data, Bluetooth device data etc). There was something in one of the videos I linked in another comment about it also collecting data via Bluetooth scanning.

Plus, if the device has ever been connected to a Wi-Fi network and you don't disable wifi (in settings or physically on the board) there's a significant possibility it will try to access the open networks around you. If your neighbor has an open guest network? That's all it needs to continue to upload that information to the cloud.

I also seem to remember LG deliberately limiting 3rd party apps ability to use or create peer to peer networks but I haven't seen anything about them limiting their own first party apps or OS. I wonder if that's part of the alarming stuff Gamerz Nexus alluded to in the video when they talked about vulnerabilities that could compromise these TVs.

It was something like 5 am when I wrote my initial comment and I wasn't fully awake yet. I'm sorry if it came off wrong but I didn't intend to say that LG TVs were using HDMI connected computer's Internet connections. Just that they can see anything and everything you can see when you connect and set up that device.

Nobody ever factory resets a TV before they get rid of it. If your trash guy decides to take home the TV you threw away and hook it up to the internet, or if you sell it, the next person might hook it up to the internet.
