Who and why needs a TV when you can have a perfectly fine 32" or even 36" for reasonable money, and fully control what it shows?

(Yes, yes, rsync vs Dropbox all the way. I still don't have Dropbox.)

You can also buy commercial dumb TV's that usually have hdmi and displayport for a little more money, at any size, and add your own smarts at will. They also last longer because they don't intentionally under build the power supplies.

The parent comment was "a little more money".

When I search for non-smart, 4K TVs, the price differentials are anywhere from 2x to 10x averaging about 4x! That isn't "a little more money".

This is why I asked for links.

Search for “commercial display”, “digital signage”, and/or “commercial TV”.

Computer monitor backlights aren’t as bright as TVs, I find.

Also, no semi-decent built-in speakers.

You don't need speakers: the built-in speakers in TVs aren't decent either, so you have to add external speakers.

The backlight issue is valid though. Also, 32" or 36" is tiny. It's fine (really too big IMO) if you're sitting in front of it at a desk, but for watching from a sofa from a distance, it's too small these days. This isn't the 20th century with NTSC/PAL resolution any more.
