Hear hear. As a quite satisfied owner of 2 LG OLEDs, I agree with your assessment. It's a shame that no other company makes OLEDs. Panasonic just started making then using LG frames, but I don't know if they are any better in the privacy department.

I own a Panasonic OLED. Never seen an ad on it. It does ping some analytics hostname regularly even with data collection disabled but I’ve klined this in the firewall and it doesn’t try anything else. I didn’t try to see what’s the payload to that data collection domain so maybe it was empty to begin with.

Samsung are switching over to QD-OLED in the near future (next year?)

It's a combination of the Quantum Dot technology from QLED and OLED.

Sony? Vizio?

They use LG.

[xvector]

Yes but they don’t have the same software stack, which is what the concerns are about.

Samsung makes OEDs no?

[gabagool]

Samsung doesn't, actually. They now only make "QLED" TV's and LED TV's.

However, a lot of other brands sell OLED TV sets including Sony, Vizio, TCL, etc. Maybe they're referring to manufacturing the physical OLED screen? I don't know what impact that would have on privacy concerns, though.
