" ... or corporate display panels ..." Exactly. A commercial display / signage display is indeed what you need to buy if you want a "dumb" TV. Not only are they as dumb as dumb gets but they are highly reliable and usually fairly rugged. Many of them have an expansion card slot which allows you to change the inputs - you could remove your 2x HDMI card and insert an SCART card instead, for instance. Finally, if you get a video wall model, you'll get near-zero bezel. They're not that expensive - how could they be if they are being purchased twelve at a time for display walls ? Yes, they are more than $399 + mail-in rebate from Frys. It's worth it.
