I don't know if this would be the most adequate board for posting this, but the probability of getting a well informed answer is higher.

I purchased a Smart TV and end up reading articles about how dangerous they are because of the EMF radiation, the constant WIFI signal, etc.

I installed a EMF detector app on my smartphone and went through the house to check the levels.
The TV spot was indeed the highest reaching 115 μT, near the computer it measured 50 μT and an average of ~40 μT in the remaining areas.

Isn't the 40 μt already too high? Google not helping.
I don't live near a powerline and the mobile provider has bad coverage.

...and yes, I realize a shitty smartphone is far from getting accurate measurements.

115 μT is nothing, the ambient field from the earth is around 40 μT anyways

The charts I saw were all in milliGauss, I did the conversion and the results were a bit scary. Thanks anyway.

don't connect your smart TV to your wifi network and it won't transmit a signal. In fact don't connected it period.

They're a network security nightmare. EM radiation should be the least of your concerns when it comes to smart TVs

Just wrap the TV in foil and you are gtg.

>>10849813
I didn't intend to, I can imagine what may happen. But I read some articles that some TVs keep transmitting whatever option was selected and only opening it and disconnecting the hardware piece would stop the signal.

Damn what a brainlet. A phone's magnetometer ain't gonna measure the intensity of microwave radiation a TV emits worth a damn. It only measures static magnetic fields. It's measuring 115 uT because it's near a piece of metal or a magnet. These magnetic fields are fine. The microwaves a smart TV or any wifi device emits aren't going to be very strong. Wifi is generally recognized as safe.

Do not lick the smart TV. Do not take apart the smart TV, you might electrocute yourself. Do not take apart the smart TV and lick.

>> No.10849979

it's gonna emit about the same amount of RF as any other consumer wifi device

Your phone will emit way more

it's no big deal. The big threat comes from the EMF in the hundreds of terahertz range coming out the front of it, combined with the acoustic waves in the 20hz-20khz range, has well documented effects on your mental health, causing widespread anxiety and depression. normal TVs emit these as well, it's really terrible for you

Yeah, I heard the same thing from Christian truthers on YouTube telling me I'm stupid because I connect the dots between Chemtrails and Drag Queens to the End Times. I'm used to being called that. .
