LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices (www.notebookcheck.net)

An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.

I just went to the Sceptre website, they have non-smart TVs listed. You just have to look at the listings. I'm sure there are other brands, I've just had good luck with Sceptre so I stopped looking.
