realistically, is there anything stopping me from ripping it apart and using one of those screen driver modules you can buy off ebay to control it and essentially turn it into a big computer monitor?
You'd have to try it to find out. I'd like to think they were smart enough to brick this thing if it doesn't call home every so often or maybe it has a unique controller? Maybe you're really badass and can make it happen. They could always try to come at you for...$550 I guess? I think that's what their fine print says.
