LG respinge le accuse: le Smart TV non registrano le conversazioni

9 September 2026 at 16:20

Qualche giorno fa un’indagine condotta da Gamers Nexus insieme a Level1Techs e ricercatori indipendenti aveva alzato il dubbio su alcune TV smart prodotte da LG. Le accuse erano pesanti e dicevano che fino a 216 milioni di televisori LG sarebbero potenzialmente coinvolti in attività di raccolta dati, scansione della rete locale e persino registrazione dell'audio. LG non è stata zitta e ha fermamente respinto le conclusioni.

Secondo l'azienda, i televisori non registrano le conversazioni ambientali. Il microfono entra in gioco quando viene premuto il pulsante vocale del telecomando oppure, se l'utente ha attivato la funzione, per riconoscere il comando “Ciao LG”. Quest'ultimo dettaglio merita attenzione, perché in standby il televisore può effettivamente restare in ascolto del comando di attivazione, ma LG sostiene che l'elaborazione avvenga direttamente sul dispositivo. Se le parole non vengono riconosciute, l'audio sarebbe cancellato senza raggiungere i server.

C'è poi la scansione della rete domestica, confermata dalla stessa LG, che serve a individuare dispositivi compatibili, come smartphone e apparecchi connessi, per offrire condivisione dei contenuti e funzioni smart. Un comportamento quindi non necessariamente sospetto, ma che mostra quanto un televisore moderno possa osservare ciò che lo circonda digitalmente.

LG TVs are facing scrutiny due to a video seemingly showing the devices’ capability to track users when the TVs are off.

YouTube channel Gamers Nexus worked with Level1Techs, a technology-focused YouTube channel, and security researchers to analyze LG TVs’ tracking capabilities. They shared packet captures that pointed to the TVs, including LG’s pricey G5 OLED TV, scanning the LAN for other devices.

“The [G5] crawled our entire network and found dozens of unrelated devices, including smartwatches and phones of our staff who didn't even know we were working on this,” Steve Burke, Gamers Nexus' editor-in-chief, said.

Is CarPlay really a key factor in car buyers choices? At least one statistic supports that position, raising questions about automakers ignoring customer preferences. The panel also examines Gmail’s upcoming changes, Apple’s evolving iPhone purchasing strategy, and a troubling article about advertising and tracking on computer monitors and smart displays.

Ads and tracking infiltrated TVs. Now they're coming for monitors.

24 August 2026 at 21:17

Ads and tracking have turned TVs into privacy nightmares. Both are so widespread among smart TVs that I’ve written a guide for avoiding them. One recommendation in that guide is to use a computer monitor. But in recent years, monitors have become more capable of pushing ads and tracking users.

Without more straightforward approaches from vendors, such as easily comprehensible privacy policies and avoiding inappropriate ads, monitors are dangerously encroaching into smart-TV-like territory.

LG monitors’ McAfee ads

LG lost some trust after a recent report that some of its monitors installed McAfee pop-up ads onto connected computers. Since at least 2024, some of these displays installed an app, LG Monitor App Installer, onto connected computers under the cover of driver updates installed through Windows Update.
