  I tried to stick with DP only, but the tvs with it are getting rarer and much more expensive.

    Buy monitors instead. Also saves you the have of dealing with “smart TV” bullshit.

      Do you know of any big dumb TVs or monitors that I could buy in Europe? I only know of Sceptre TVs which are mostly meant for businesses and storefronts but they are extremely hard to get in Europe.

        Biggest I found is the Acer Nitro XV275KP3 Gaming Monitor. You kinda pay gaming hardware prices, but given the support for up to 120Hz and HDR10, I was OK with that. It’s mostly used for gaming, anyway.

      Hard to find monitors larger than a certain size that aren’t exorbitantly expensive, and I do like a large screen when it comes to Couch Gaming and watching TV (well, streaming video, I ain’t gonna pay for a TV license just to watch the one terrestrial TV show I actually care about)

      Unfortunately, many large monitors are becoming “smart” now.

      While I agree, tvs and monitors have different use cases:

      Monitor:

      • High dpi
      • Low distance to viewer
      • Must support high resolution, high frame rate for games
      • Must be compact enough for a desk

      TV:

      • low dpi
      • greater distance from to viewer
      • 120hz and 1080 resolution enough for most movies and shows
      • price and size more important than technical aspects.
