> Yes, but they can be a bit tricky to find. You can find them used. You can use a computer monitor.
Sir, that's basically a no.
A TV is a specific device. It has many functions that TV monitor seldom has, or implements poorly. Like speakers. Or rich inputs and outputs, like multiple hdmi and antenna. Or a proper remote, a dvb-t tuner. Or play media on it's own when connected via USB. Or DLNA (I had devices far from modern smart-tv that could do that, in the past).
Monitor or panel can mimic some of this, with effort on your side, but not really.
You use use cases will vary, but I'll bet what 90% of people do can be duplicated with a laptop or an Apple TV.
Sceptre makes dumb TVs. I have a monitor for them that's many years old - it was a good value and has held up.
Thanks, they don't seem to exist in EU.
I think closest are some Sharp models, and their screens are great. But that also requires hunting for commercial models mean for large displays.
