There is a 48" OLED as well, but I didn't have the space for it at the time.

The screen is awesome, don't get me wrong, but the fact that I had to replace the main board after 1.5yrs, just out of warranty, means I definitely recommend people don't buy it. Luckily I found someone on eBay that dropped theirs, shattered the screen, and sold the internal boards for $50 shipped. I only brought it up because it fits the requirements and I recommend the format. 4k 43"+ or 8k is goated on desktop. permalink fedilink source parent [–] limonfiesta@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago (3 children) He should have said commerical displays, which are basically TV's rated for long continuous use e.g. digital signage. I haven't dealt with them in some time, but I would imagine many, if not most, do not include consumer smart tv features, although they probably have other embedded smart tech to help with stuff like signage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago No I understand he’s talking about displays, I think I must have backspaced that and undid it at some point. But those commercial displays are not built with fast response rates because they’re literally just built to display one image at a time. Using them for gaming would suck. permalink fedilink source parent [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago (1 child) [TVs] rated for long continuous use Or, what we used to just label "TVs".
