Anyone using a Commercial Display instead of a Consumer TV?

[surprisetech]

Thinking about the next TV purchase and considering getting a Commercial Display rather than a TV.

Currently have a 55" Hisense Smart TV and we don't use the tuner or any of the so-called 'smart' features. 

Mostly, the only remote buttons that get used are power, source, volume and mute.  Sources are Fetch Mighty & a BluRay Player, both via HDMI.

 

I recently helped a friend set up two brand new LG TVs and had to create an account with LG as well as the streaming services and do a whole lot of other stuffing around just to stream free-to-air! (No antenna connection available)  I love my old LG 37" TV in the man cave, but these new ones really put me off.

 

I've seen 65" commercial 4k UHD displays from LG & Samsung with 2 or 3 HMDI inputs, 2 x 10W Speakers, a remote and a 3-year warranty.

Everything I need and none of the extra stuff inside that just creates additional potential points of failure and obsolescence.

 

I don't know if they would have a 'movie zoom' setting which I occasionally use to get rid of the letterbox when content is wider than 16:9, but I'm not too concerned about that.  What else might I be sacrificing?

 

Just curious to know if anyone has already gone in this direction or has considered it.

I like your thinking. I bought the dumbest tv I could last time and replaced it with a projector last year. I don’t want a computer and apps in my display. 
 

others may suggest that there are some compromises in your approach, but all I hear is upside.
