A personal account of disabling HDMI-CEC across a multi-device living room setup (Vizio TV, Xbox, Roku, Steam Link) after experiencing phantom power-on events, input hijacking by the Roku remote, and TV panel flickering linked to CEC interactions. Disabling CEC resolved all three issues. The author acknowledges the convenience trade-off and notes that simpler setups with fewer mixed-brand devices tend to work fine with CEC enabled.
