The term you are looking for is “professional display”. NEC/sharp, Sony, and Samsung off the top of my head have a division for this.

I work in a classified military space where the security of our equipment has been verified; our 80 inchers are all NEC and work wonderfully

I'm not an expert in this space, but professional displays (e.g., screens mounted in airports, and the like) do not seem notable for their cinematic visual quality-- usually they have a washed out appearance. They're reliable screens, but not made for watching movies.

Can you be so sure it is the screens that are at fault.

When mounted in airports and the like, they are also mounted in environments where the lighting is usually such (i.e., much too bright) that nearly any screen (LCD or old CRT's) would generally appear "washed out". So the effect you see may not be the screens, but instead may be caused by the environments in which you generally see them operating.

Look for terms like “conference room display” rather than “smart signage”.

Those cost way more than dumb displays did back before there were smart displays. Look at the 40-inch/43-inch models. They're like $800. I bought all my 40-inch 4k screens for under $300 in 2016.

The insane price gouging in these "professional displays" cannot be explained by advertising subsidies. We weren't paying those prices for equivalent-spec dumb TVs back when those were available for sale.

Thanks for the tip. Is there a trade off ? Do they support 4k HDR and/or 120 Hz ?

I have a side-business in digital signage. Professional displays are indeed usually dumb TVs and are made to witstand 24/7 operation and may have higher lumen, etc. They do come at 4k. They also usually come with better management software and more ports. They can be connected to the internet for some remote management but I’ve never used that.

There’s of course a price difference between you $300 cheapo consumer stuff, and a $1000-2000 pro display.

I used to have these pro displays at home with Chromecast, works fine.
