putting a lot of faith into shitty pinhole cameras to be able to see twenty two 4K pixels one hex value lighter or darker, when most cameras have atrocious definition/sharpness and get blown out by light, blinded by darkness.

I guess if the TV itself was doing the DRM recognition? Idk though, I've seen alarmist posting like this before... seems to me evil tech shit usually gets done in more mundane ways?
