The firewall on my router won’t let it send anything out without my approval. I 
check the manufacturer’s web site to see if there are firmware updates, and 
when there are I let it download them or I pull them down and side load them 
with a USB stick.

If I don’t want something to phone home, it’s blocked at the edge of my 
environment.

Unless the TV has a cell phone included, and once a month or so it phones home 
to transmit your data and the conversations it has recorded. Your data has 
value, might be worth $10 or less per month to retrieve it.

Re: [MBZ] For when Poos moves into his new house

2019-11-05 Thread Jim Cathey via Mercedes
When/if I ever replace our 58" Panny plasma it'll be an OLED.  Nothing else 
even remotely
approaches the video quality of a good plasma.  OLED actually beats it.  There 
have only
been five different consumer display technologies: CRT, Plasma, LCD, DLP, and 
OLED.
The rest are all variations and marketing hype.

The applications on our 2010 'smart' TV have all died, one by one.  Maybe one 
of them
still works, I'm not sure.  What is not appreciated is that they stop 
supporting a TV shortly
after release, and as services move, change, and die, so does the utility of 
your TV.

Fortunately its tuner still works, and it's an excellent HDMI monitor for the 
Apple TV.
It also works well with the LD, DVD, and BluRay players.

Re: [MBZ] For when Poos moves into his new house

2019-11-05 Thread Dan--- via Mercedes
I bought a 65” OLED LG a few months ago to replace a 60” LG plasma TV that was 
seven years old and starting to show artifacts. I’m happy with it for the most 
part. It’s a “smart” TV but I don’t connect it to my network but maybe every 60 
days or so to get any updates that might be available.

Last time I connected it I tried messing with the built in applications for

Re: [MBZ] For when Poos moves into his new house

2019-11-05 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
I am thinking about replacing my current 10 year old 73” DLP with a new TV. It 
seems like it sort of flickers from brighter to darker at times. Not all the 
time but most of the time. Sometimes it is barely noticeable. The picture was 
getting darker and I noticed this before. Bulb was original so I replaced it 
last week. It seemed to brighten the picture overall but it still does the 
bright/darker flicker. Seems like it might be more notifsble now with the new 
bulb.  I am looking at 75” ones in the $699-$999 or so range. I’m sure those 
are the lower end models but it would be a huge improvement over what I 
currently have I am sure.

If I was to buy a new TV for the house, new or current, it would be one of 
those QLED TVs. I’ve looked at them at Costco and the images are amazing.
