Cameras embedded in TVs? Apart from the Samsung "smart TVs" with an obvious camera that can be rolled in/out of use, are there really cameras on television sets? I've heard people talk about hidden cameras in set top boxes and tvs for at least a decade, but it always sounded like nonsense. It has the potential to go really bad if people discovered something like a camera hidden.

I never asserted that the cameras would be hidden. :)

Like you said, cameras are embedded in at least one model of "modern" television. Either laziness or "gamification" can be used to get many folks to keep the camera in the in-use position.
