At that point you would still be better off buying a smaller or a used TV and just leaving it by the curb when you're done.

    Depends on what you want I'd say. If you want a really nice OLED for a few months, youre not getting that back on resale, and youre unlikely to find one in good condition at a low price.

    This seems the only fit that would make sense, which has to be a remarkably small market.

    If its a price thing, then yeah, a thrift store TV is the answer. Even a cheap new TV would be better.
