If you auto update your tv, you most likely are SOL for jailbreaking a smart tv. I have tried two different TVs from LG and Samsung ending in the device being bricked. This is slowly becoming a pet project that I am realizing I am way out of my depth with.

If you can replace the mainboard and just use the panel, that would be awesome.

It would be a gold mine for them. People always forget the optional agreements and don’t want to find where to turn off the faucet of personal data or even know what that means.

I have brought this up while installing TVs for my job and I either get a “wtf, help me fix” or [blank stare] “why should I care?” reactions. Mostly the latter and they are all over the age of 60.
