At one point, a forum member linked to a chart/list that had this information, but I can't find it for the life of me. I want to say it came from rtratings.com, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Hey, Leo, thanks for giving me a starting point at least. I'll head to that website and see what I can find. It seems like every new TV that comes out is built with smart capabilities lately, and I'd like to find one that won't spy on me or bog me down with adware.
Rusty, unfortunately, my understanding is that they don't ask you politely to turn it on. If they did, most people wouldn't agree to it. It's getting harder to find a TV that isn't a Smart TV too.

I have a Samsung and I use air TV. Also a Roku. It's a couple years old. I had a menu option to enable the smart features. Because of the adware discussion we've had here on other posts. I thought. Hell no.
Ah, that makes sense, Rusty. I just misinterpreted your earlier reply to mean that you didn't turn on the advertising feature. I wanted in on that if it was a choice.
When I had to buy a new smart tv. I never turned on that capability. So, no ad crap. I use a roku device.
This seems more like the way to go because I am also the type of person who would never want to have those ads stuff on my smart TV when I am watching a TV.
