The Best Smart TV is Samsung 75" Class RU7100 Smart 4K UHD TV.
Buy it and you wont regret.

I read an article that Smart TVs are privacy risks - some have microphones, and cameras that can be hacked into.

Your husband shouldn't have asked you for the gift and buy a gift of his own choice for you

 

[noisygirlkk]

That's a joke seriously you need to go for Sony A1E Series OLED TVs.

Btw Samsung is good in using VPN which will help you access Netflix of other regions aswell as Disney+

make sure the manufacturing date and the model number of the tv is this year but not older than 2018. the problem with smart tvs is they go out of date after a few years and a lot of apps with no longer work. If you do an online search you will find a lot of models that dropped netflix, prime and some of the other major streaming services the last few months. Personally I would get a tv, forget about the smart part and get a streaming box (or stick).

I know in the past, you could turn those functions off to eliminate the risks. You just need to read the manual to know what's what. They aren't going to name the feature something obvious like "totally spying with the mic on/off." It'll be something like "Totally awesome user experience improvement." Those names being totally made up, of course.

Also: Totally.

Good point. A basic flat screen TV, and add on a streaming box of your choice (Fire TV, hint hint).

I have 2 of the Sony Android TV smart TVs that I purchased for a vacation home. When I purchased them I was thinking Android TV was the way to go. Since then, I've bought 2 Roku devices for older TV's at home and I have to say that I much prefer Roku now. I'm not a big fan of "Smart TVs", like others have said, they get old and not always updated. Using Roku allows me to still use the TVs and Roku has the broadest support of streaming services out there (AFAIK).

Is it possible to buy a state of the art TV today that doesn't have smart features or who's smart features can be completely turned off?

I am interested in the new Nvidia shield but probably need to update my 10 year old, low res, dumb TV.

Is it possible to get a TV these days that won't collect and share your information?

I went with a Sony 65" X950G. Got it for 700 at Best Buy outlet. Look for one near you. I've always wanted a Sony Bravia so that's the route I went. Any other way I would have got the shield tv and a TCL 4k tv to keep cost low.

as long as you do not setup internet access they cannot collect.

Get the best dumbest TV and hook up an Nvidia Shield to it.

For any question like this, "best" is largely a subjective adjective, because what's best depends on the consumer's preference. Rather than listen to a first-time poster's definitive recommendation for a specific model without any supporting information, I would recommend doing some research on legitimate respected sites like Consumer Reports to learn about features, quality, price, and reliability.

Can you tell us more about your experience with these models?

That's really a lot of FUDD. "The FBI" release was from the OPI (in other words, a press release written by press release writers, not FBI technical people). The TV is behind a router, so it can't be connected to from outside your network. (If you see someone parked outside your house, fiddling with some equipment for more than a minute or two, call the police.)

(I've only been in this business for 46 years, and I wouldn't waste my time trying to get into someone's TV when - if I could get into their network, I'd get into their PC or laptop and steal their login to their bank account. Your TV is less accessible than your baby monitor [any police scanner can listen to your baby monitor].)
