That’s true, but I considered it an investment for longer term instead of buying a cheaper midrange TV. With the exception of lacking HDMI 2.1, my 55" monitor has all the modern features, with the bonus of having dual input modes and a displayport.
It’s basically what “dumb” TV’s used to be, minus the antenna, but that’s fine as a cord cutter.
That’s the idea but being honest there aren’t many nice streaming box.
Like there is Roku and the Xiaomi one?
What else? Fire TV?
Chromecast I do not count because you need to cast to it.
Be careful with commercial displays. Some are just designed to show static ads or pictures, which means they have a very slow response time or low resolution.
My solution: Buy a very large monitor.
Then connect some streaming box to it you can easily replace if/when it gets shitty, instead of having to replace the whole TV.
Great idea! I know exactly what to buy next + better color accuracy than TV which mostly comes with over saturated color labeled as cinematic mode!
You can also just buy a big tv and use it as a monitor streaming from a box or pc. It is considerably cheaper.
Monitors are significantly more expensive than TVs and have features that TVs don’t require.

I mean I guess you can setup a PC somehow but…
The Nvidia Shield is amazing.
Oh yeah that’s another one.
Using a PC is definitely the easiest.
That seems like a very expensive alternative to not giving a smart TV your Wi-Fi password.
I would love to if they sold 65" monitors lol

For those prices I’d rather have an OLED with ads.
Ok. That was always an option.
