I won't even consider buying a product like Alexa and have been putting off buying a Smart TV for years. When I eventually do buy one, I doubt it will be a Samsung because that company has been notoriously bad about respecting the privacy of its customers. I'll want to buy a model that will allow me to turn off the Smart mode, though that may not help due to the published ability of government hackers to turn on the monitoring features even though they appear to be turned off.
