On September 8, 2026, security researchers, in collaboration with Gamers Nexus and Level1Techs, analyzed the tracking capabilities of the LG G5 OLED TV. Tests revealed that the TV continued to scan the local network even when turned off, identifying dozens of unrelated devices, including smartphones and smartwatches that were not detected by the staff. Due to this ability to track users, LG TVs are facing relevant regulations.
