Are you willing to pay for it? A lot of manufacturers make displays intended for digital signage, which under the hood are basically just a TV with different software: https://www.samsung.com/us/business/displays/4k-uhd/ https://www.samsung.com/us/business/displays/4k-uhd/ There's an infographic on the differences here: https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/b2b/resource/2016/07/13/b2b_resource_INFOGRAPHIC_LFD_ConsumerVSCommercial_JUL15IDG.pdf https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/b2b/resource/2016/07/...

These type of displays are usually low to mid range displays. You aren’t likely to find an OLED panel that supports Dolby Vision etc without “smart” features.

> Are you willing to pay for it? A lot of manufacturers make displays intended for digital signage, which under the hood are basically just a TV with different software According to your link (and to what I've seen at work) that's not entirlely correct. One of the differences they give: > Built to run from 16/7 to 24/7 hours per day, have better cooling for longer runtimes I bet this alone increases the price but quite a hefty amount. I'm not the GP, but if they're anything like me, they just want the "dumb" part, not the "runs 24/7/365 at blindingly high levels of brightness".

Wow what a document. Commerical products are always nicely so much less bullshit. Funny to read the manufacturer say so!

I actually have one of these made by Samsung. It's quite old though. It's a 40" 720p panel but it can take 1080p HDMI and looks quite ok actually. Can function as a standalone display or it has a builtin PC (a sub 1ghz AMD CPU I think, 256mb ram and a couple GB HDD inside it). It is insanely heavy and well built (slightly dropped it once, RIP floor). The panel: it is much much brighter than a regular TV but the kicker is there is no color or contrasts shift no matter how you look at it. I gamed on it for a while and the pixel response time is insanely fast. It is truly an amazing display. Too bad about the resolution though. I'm not using it anymore but I did not throw it away either.
