I know, but what other OLED panel manufacturers are there? Samsung? Not sure their smart TVs are better, privacy wise.
Actually, I’m pretty sure any manufacturer that also sells high end smart TVs has a 2k TV that sells your data.
I also never understood his apparent expectation that a higher end model from a manufacturer that sells data will be more privacy friendly. Wealthier people make for more expensive ad sales.
I wouldn’t touch Samsung with a 10’ barge pole. That said, I’m not interested in OLED. MicroLED looks like a much more interesting technology to me.
As for the expectation of not having your data sold when spending more, I’d say it stems from the free and cheap business model of prices being low because they subsidise the cost by selling your data. If what you’re getting is free/cheap, you are the product, thus if you’re paying serious money, the expectation is that you’ve bought it and there’s no subsidising going on.
Personally, when the time comes for me to upgrade, I’ll be looking at either a commercial TV or a large monitor (not ultra wide) since I don’t use smart TV features and already have a setup to not need internal speakers.
A good point, and I think they’ve been doing a fantastic job of proving that pretty much no corp respects their customers.
That’s certainly a reason to not have a TV. My bordering requirement of one is because I live pretty much all of my life through a computer but don’t have to sit at a desk all of the time of I use a TV as a computer monitor.

That presumes that those corps have any respect for their customers.
Anyway, I get the Smart TV Problem. I personally solved it by living in a studio with no space for a TV, but I like your approach too.
