TVs are fantastic monitors.

It sounds reasonable to not want to pay for basically a small computer inside the TV.

But in practice, its not that expensive of a component. And TV volumes are so high that they're bigger and cheaper and higher quality than an equivalently priced monitor, anyway.

Hence, while I'm fine with the monitors I have, I'm never buying a "monitor" again. It just makes no financial sense when I can get a 40" 4K TV with 120hz VRR instead, that happens to work fantastically as a streaming box too.
