as no one in my home actually watches TV, french law dictates that as long as you have a TV Tuner in house you have to pay the “redevance” of around ~140 Euro/Year to the state to finance the media industry. If you use a regular Computer screen, you don’t have to pay it.
So - this being said, I’d like to replace my TV (43" LG TV Full HD) with a similar sized screen for 4K and preferably 10Bit display LED/IPS whatever - what is best.
Anyone here had the same issue and could advise on what they use, share their experience?
Currently, the only PC screen without tuner I have found would be this one:
LG 43UD79-B: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/34a2b7d
Seems nobody’s gonna pitch in. I suppose you have to be careful since monitors are going to be optimised for gaming, not video. On a quick look I couldn’t find any monitors bigger than the one you quoted.
That monitor appears to only support a 60hz refresh rate (soap opera effect). What I would look for is an IPS display that supports regular television refresh rates.
This may be a more expensive solution but LG and Samsung used to have professional large format screens available starting at 40" above. These screens used to lack tuners but are more expensive since it has an operating system inside & panels are meant to run non-stop.
Thx for advice folks. I’ll see what I can find on the market.
So far, there is only one screen from Philips that is able to produce 23.xx/24Hz up to 80Hz. But that one seems to have massive problem as seen from the comments of the people on amazon. Will see if I give it a try though. No remote control however.
let me know what you think about it. It makes 23Hz up to 75Hz - which should be suitable for all required frequencies. Don’t know about the rest though.
I don’t know that extremely bright displays have ventured outside of the TV space yet. Have you looked at commercial displays yet? I have zero knowledge about them but just a quick search on Newegg pulled up a LG 60UL3E-B that looked like a viable solution. I don’t think this class of display normally comes with any kind of a stand so you would have to acquire a VESA based mounting solution as well.
