He should have said commerical displays, which are basically TV's rated for long continuous use e.g. digital signage.
I haven't dealt with them in some time, but I would imagine many, if not most, do not include consumer smart tv features, although they probably have other embedded smart tech to help with stuff like signage.
No I understand he’s talking about displays, I think I must have backspaced that and undid it at some point. But those commercial displays are not built with fast response rates because they’re literally just built to display one image at a time. Using them for gaming would suck.
Or, what we used to just label "TVs". The ones not rated for long continuous use should get a new name; perhaps "weak TVs".
The TVs you buy at Costco or Walmart aren't meant to be run 24/7 365. They never have been.
