Monitors have different (worse for distance viewing) panels, so they aren’t a replacement.

Also, the price of an excellent non-ad-supported computer (eg Apple TV) to replace the one that comes in the TV is $140.

That’s rounding error vs the price of a midrange TV, and it shouldn’t be a selling point in the > ~ $1000 range.



When post above you referred to monitors, they weren’t referring to computer monitors but any screen sold without a tv tuner including all kinds of units large distance viewing screens.


But he has a point. Monitors might not do interesting things like HDR or dolby vision or other advanced a/v stuff.


Many do, but if you intentionally compare ones that aren't equivalent then of course that what you'll find.
