How would they know you've done it? Do they have a way to detect you putting a sheet in front of the bottom screen?

    There is a camera on the front. That could be used to detect obstructions or for eye tracking. There could also be additional sensors by the bottom screen that can detect obstructions.

    If you fail to plug the TV into the internet within 5 days of receiving and keep it connected they'll charge you $1000. If you take it apart they'll charge you $1000.

    The video above does not go into detail on the long term implications of obstruction and it's possible the TV does not react immediately to an obstruction.
