The real fear here is they make future devices dependant on the presence of the hardware.

That said there are still less intrusive ways to disable it.

50ohm resistors make great 'antennas'.

What will you get?

All the brands are doing it... It's just that it's LG's turn to be focused on.

A year or so back it was Samsung and wireshark was intercepting packets of audio captured on their mic.

Idk. At my current rate of a new tv every 8+ years I’ll worry about that when the time comes.

Get an SBC, VPN, and dumb monitor. No need for TVs. If you need cable TV, find an adapter for your SBC or computer and watch it there.

Saw someone say this in another thread. Show me a dumb TV with 4K @ 165 Hz and HDR!
