What I don't understand is that if you want the TV to be offline, why don't you just buy a monitor and connect a digital TV receiver to it via an adapter (if it doesn't have an HDMI output). It'll be more expensive for sure and it will require a design-hostile antenna but all the privacy issues should just go out of the window.
Do they make 55" OLED monitors? Only stuff I've seen is LED, and I'm pretty sure the picture/color quality is inferior to proper tv panel
I think the color quality of good monitors is far superior to it in TVs because monitors are meant for professional image editing. The size may be a problem though. Usually monitors are not more than 27".
A big monitor with 100% AdobeRGB is going to be very very expensive. And if you want it to be 65", you just can't find them...
And it is a monitor, meant to be watched from a close distance. It will not be such a great experience for movies and such.
I guess we just have different preferences on TVs then.
unhelpful troll
monitors are generally made to be viewed up close - if video quality is no issue, then a commercial display /digital signage is also okay.
however, a good detailed list of tv aspects would help with even that choice.
not shooting any option down - just wondering about available resources/information.
That's not a solution since smartness is already in monitors as well.
Never seen a smart online monitor yet. Maybe $5000+ are but I don't follow that.
