I tried that: they are difficult to impossible to find. I thought I was generous to be willing to pay double, but I couldn’t find a monitor with my tv’s specs for any price

I ended up getting a Vizio and to my surprise I actually use the spyOS over my streaming devices most of the time. It’s actually pretty good —- except for the ads. Even then, it mostly needs an extra click or two to open the app I want, rather than the sponsored app

That is disheartening to hear.
