Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information.

Clarification: after a bit of research it seems the olfactory section pertains to CCPA California law, many places have olfactory in the privacy policy because it is required by the law. I can't believe we reached a point where we have to put olfactory in the privacy policy, but then again it won't be long before Smell-O-Vision becomes reality.

Also have a California ip you get a different privacy policy.

Damn so this already started?

Is LG also doing this?

I think current advise is Sony but they are a lot more expensive for the same panel.

Not sure about LG. But it also depends on model as well afaik. Most Samsungs I know that were bought via Walmart, Best Buy, Costco, etc had that issue, but one of my commercial clients bought a couple and it was a non-issue, so ymmv. I typically like Sonys, but I also have a reseller account with them through my wholesaler and get them significantly cheaper than retail.

I have an LG GX and have never experienced this. I’d assume the G line and up won’t have this issue, and to my knowledge even the lower tier C models don’t have this issue. A friend of mine recently got a C3 (I think, idk what they’re up to yet, maybe 4? It’s the newest C model) and it doesn’t have this ad issue either.

I'll be honest, the 3 times I've seen it were Samsungs and purchased at box stores. The rest I have no firsthand experience, but I've seen enough people bitching about it online.

We bought a LG QED 80" 4k at Costco. Not once did I enter a wifi, hasn't asked me at all 6 months later.
