Gamers Nexus went over the privacy concerns with the Meta Quest 3 and they're arguably worse than LGs TV fiasco. That is the price you pay for cheaper devices in this market. I'd rather the extra price overhead rather than giving a corporation access to everything in my home with cameras and microphones attached to my face but that's just me.

    In the video they explained that the TV seemed like it was trying to find and connect to any connection available (some routers allow auto-connection for easy integration). This would probably be a huge issue in an apartment building or townhome situation.

    I'm not entirely sure if they mentioned that was with Wifi enabled or disabled... But given that, even with the microphone input disabled, it records you from "other microphones" available, seemingly hidden, or through other devices connected to the TV... I assume they have a Wifi chip that is always enabled and searching.
