Looked into this recently, where do I get commercial signage that isn't 6x the price for the same size screen?

Used or refurbished ones tend to be closer in price and I’ve seen some on Amazon and the like for a couple hundred

I'll keep an eye out on Craigslist and ask some of my small business contacts where they got their.

All TVs sold at Costco are required be fully functioning without being connected to Wi-Fi.

I just bought a Sony BRAVIA 8 and it's close to this. Never connected to WiFi. It goes directly to my HTPC input and I never see the home screen unless I want to.
