NEC E series for cheap, P series for the pro grade stuff.
In a past theme park life we setup our outdoor TVs for showing queue line content and they used NEC P430(? It's been years) both outside in a case and inside for digital menu boards in restaurants.
I was thinking about going this route, but the best TVs on the market are OLEDs, the only game in town is LG, and the "sale" price was over $2k. I couldn't imagine what the "commercial display" tax would be.
I ended up just blocking LG's servers on my network.
Actually, commercial displays are not that expensive.
As you see in retail and airport settings, these displays are bought by the thousand and are often configured in 6/9/18 screen "display walls" ... and therefore the purchasers are price-sensitive.
Yes, they are more expensive than a TV from Best Buy, but only about 2x - not 5x.
I purposefully didn't give my Sony tv (android) my wifi password. A few weeks later it prompted me to install a firmware update, and I saw it was connected to my home wifi. How? Best I can guess is another android device shared credentials with the TV.
I blocked that stupid thing at the router. I don't need firmware updates for my TV.
Is there anyone else in your house who might have put in the credentials? That seems like a big security hole if Android will just share wifi credentials with other random Android devices.
Right. The only thing I've ever done using my Sony smart TV's native interface is to go into settings and turn off WiFi. It isn't a dumb TV, but might as well be.
