Yes i am aware of there "Spying". I think now days, if you look hard enough, most internet connected devices are collecting some sort of data about how they are being used.
I am of the opinion that i have nothing to hide. If LG want to know what i am watching, good for them.
The LG 42LN5710 that i purchased offers the best bang for buck at the moment and me being on a pension made price a major consideration.

PS. I once had a foil hat until the government started using Naquadah enhanced satellites that can read minds from orbit, even when shielded by foil. At this point i gave up.
