    I want one, it would be cool to hack and get a second free screen.

      That’s the neat part, the USA, being known for moronic decisions, made it so circumventing DRM measures on hardware you own is a federal crime. Telly detects you attempted to do that, Telly can send you to prison.

        DRM is for restricting access, not guaranteeing constant mandatory access. I think it would be a gray area if someone disabled the ads.

        Don’t connect the “smart” bits to the internet and just use the screen. No one would know. I expect it is small and/or crappy though.

        Never connect your monitors to the internet.

        Then hack them.

        You can do it yourself, but the actual crime is if you tell someone how to circumvent it.

        My television sending me to prison wasn’t exactly the dystopic future I had imagined but it will do.
