    Qb series Samsung are commercial displays but no Netflix or smart features. However, they are about double the price of a standard tv. Will last forever though. I would rather buy a less expensive and not connect it to the network.

      I spent less than $500 for my 50” 4K Samsung but here is twice the price.

    They don’t really as the “smart” subsidies the cost of the TV. Some commerical grade TVs and large monitors won’t be smart or need Internet connectivity.

    I got a “signage display”, which is basically just a large monitor connected via HDMI.

      The problem with those is that the picture quality is not the same as traditional TVs.

        I guess. But it’s good enough for me and all my content is only in 1080p anyway, so I don’t think the display is limiting me too much.

    I’ve resigned myself to large monitors for the ‘small TV’ and projectors for the ‘big TV’

    Spectre makes a line of dumb TVs, but I don’t think any of them are 4k. I spent about $600 on a 75" 1080p model last year.

    Given that you’re using this for a laptop, you’re looking for a monitor. Not a TV.

    Anything suitable for office work should be good here.
