Recent findings highlight that leading smart TV brands, particularly Samsung and LG, have the capability to capture multiple snapshots of on-screen content every second, even when utilized as external displays for laptops or gaming consoles.
This intensive monitoring involves frequent screenshots and audio recordings, which smart TV manufacturers utilize within their automatic content recognition systems. These systems are designed to monitor viewing habits, allowing for targeted advertising based on user activity. Notably, Samsung TVs can capture screenshots as frequently as every 500 milliseconds, raising significant privacy concerns among consumers.
