An investigation revealed that LG OLED Smart TVs continue to record audio even when the screen is off. The Gamers Nexus channel published the details of this analysis on their YouTube channel, exposing the behavior of these televisions regarding audio data collection.
The analysis was carried out in collaboration with Level1Techs and also involved the participation of independent analysts, who helped verify and validate the results found by the researchers.
The study demonstrates that, even with the screen completely off, the devices continue to capture and potentially store audio information from the environment where they are installed, raising significant concerns about user privacy.
This discovery adds to a series of existing concerns about data collection by smart devices, alerting consumers to the need to be attentive to the privacy settings of their electronic equipment.
