You can get the same panels as business signage displays (often) but you pay more for less features.
It should be illegal to make money selling a TV and data mining people without their informed consent.

Probably all it would take is defining peoples private property to include their personal information and “generated data” or something. Might even be something a suitable legal eagle could win in a lawsuit.
Thankfully, it’s almost unpossible to buy a telescreen without telemetry (and always has been), so Big Brother will know what you are doing. But you should still stop by the local MiniLuv for reeducation, just in case.
