Tired of adware and spyware on TVs? Get a monitor that doesn't connect to the internet... and Windows will happily install spyware for you.

N.B., the title here is wrong, this is about computer monitors, not TVs.

Technically the only difference between a tv and a monitor is an rf demodulator, and maybe speakers... and modern tv's can have neither (rf mostly died when tv went digital unless you're an OTA diehard), so there really isn't much of a reason for the split.
Judging by the picture quality, i.e. small pixel font readability, there is a huge split.
It is also about TVs. But anyway, title should not be redacted and should indicate that this is video.
Is it possible to get a 65” OLED monitor with HDMI CEC?
