So if I’m using a Samsung TV as a monitor and working on sensitive or classified material the damn thing is taking screenshots and uploading them? Yikes
One of them was an unexpected white paper, which contained this statement:
Statement of Volatility – Dell U3219Q Monitor
The purpose of this document is to certify that the Dell
U3219Q monitor will not save, retain, or reproduce a signal
to any internal or external component after power has been
removed and reapplied to the unit.
The Dell U3219Q monitor contains both volatile and
non-volatile (NV) memory ICs. Volatile memory(s) lose their
data immediately upon removal of power. Non-volatile memory
ICs continue to retain their data even after the power has
been removed. However, no input video data is written into
these memory ICs during operation.
List below contains volatile and non volatile memory ICs
used in the Dell U3219Q monitor."

- hdmi edid eeprom
- system flash rom
- usb hub eeprom
- pd controller flash rom"All smart TVs come with a 5G network adapter built in to keep in touch with the ad networks"
I give it 20 years before we have to root our TV's to disable tracking while keeping it functional - and that might be optimistic - the industry could get there in under 10 if they tried hard.
