This is a 100% trash point. I have yet to see an unknown device on my network from a dumb screen, let alone any additional microphones or cameras on said dumb screen. I have also not seen or heard of any reports of it becoming a spying type device. You mean to tell me the dumb panel I bought, which is from a major manufacture with known tear downs and a ton of buyers, managed to sneak this hardware in (even something like a cellular radio) and nobody noticed?

I'll repeat this for you so you perhaps it will impact you this time: Show me a dumb TV that has been wired up to spy on people that has been in the wild before.

No, because you're not worth spying on. Show me a unicorn. Please come equipped with a living sample and a detached horn before replying.

You cannot show up to a thread, a demand that a negative be proven. That's not how that works, and the burden of proof is on you.

If you're not going to be constructive here, just stop commenting.

I did not demand a negative be proven. The only one here who cares about proving anything is you. I was only using a rhetorical device to illustrate the absurdity of what you said. Sorry if that wasn't clear, I realize English is probably not your native language.
