Why I will never buy another Samsung device

I am usually using my Sony smart TV as a computer monitor, connecting a Mac mini to an HDMI port.

A smart TV wouldn't straight-out spy on an external use like this, would it?

This is a part of the reason why I refuse to buy any of these televisions. I don't need to risk screenshots of my personal information being sent back to some manufacturer.

I would love to upgrade from the 10 year old dumb Sanyo to something with a better picture. But, a friend who's in AV install and TV resale did some digging and there aren't options out there to buy.

I'm hoping some larger monitors will come out and fill in this gap for somebody spec hungry like myself, but doubtful.

HDMI can carry Ethernet, so I still worry about the potential.
