Part of why I bought a commercial display as a TV.

Super cheap for the size, made to be on all day long and no "smart" features at all.

    I thought those TV have pretty low refresh rates.

    For normal TV and youtube watching that should be fine. If they can play vidoes all day it should be fine

    Probably not going to have those 120hz refresh rates with this billboards.

    Well if you're gaming you're better of with a monitor anyway.

    To each their own but I will never understand the need for 120hz on tvs for couch gaming.

    What would that matter depending on exactly what you're using to provide content to your tv. I have two smart tvs, I don't use the smart aspect of them. I use streaming sticks on both of them. You don't have to purchase a commercial TV for that. In fact a lot of commercial TVs still have all the streaming connectivity capabilities as well. I know this because I installed them regularly as menu boards in many many sites. You never required to connect any TV to the internet. You never required to connect any system to the internet. But like I said it's going to matter what you're using to actually get content to your tv.

    What I've found annoying with smart TVs in my family is also their start up time. Displaying the company logo for a minute before you can actually do or display anything is for some reason much more annoying than turning on my ten year old TV and then watch the even older laptop boot into xubuntu for a minute.

    I don't know what kind of smart TV do you have but both of my Samsung TVs come on immediately to whatever I need. If I turn on my Xbox and hit the button they immediately come up to my xbox, if I turn on my fire stick they immediately come to the fire stick. I have three Vizio TVs as well and none of them have any issues coming up. I even have one fire TV that just immediately pops up it'll display the logo for like half a second and then come into the menu.

    Also a lot of the commercial tvs have worse refresh rates and color balances. It depends what you use it for. Most tv and calmer movies, it should be fine. More vibrant or active/violent/explodey shows or video games? The commercial tvs I've seen can't keep up with them.

    They make great displays tho
