My question is: Can you block the IPs it’s phoning home to without breaking other TV functions, like OS/app updates, etc? Is there a list of IPs available for smart TVs specifically that keep the fingerprint from being received by the mfg?

    I use IDS (interactive digital signage) for my TV in my bedroom, but I have good reasons: I work for the manufacturer, my job involves using it and I work from home, it was free.

    Picture quality isn’t incredible, but it’s not bad. SDR 4K LCD, so obviously lacking a bit compared to commercial TVs. But again, free and I needed it in my house for my job so I already had limited options for where to put it.

    I would not recommend buying one. They expensive, image quality is substandard, and you can’t actually just buy one individually.
