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.

      Regular monitors possible good route too if you don’t need huge screens. And if you are a pc gamer then you at least get higher than the 120 hz cap lot of TVs come with these days, and the added benefit of it being a dumb panel.

      Can you still buy them? They’ve disappeared from Amazon in the last year or so.
