I wouldn't be surprised if the integration logic is a separate unit from the actual monitor. Usually its a small computer box that just sends video to the monitor with HDMI.
That's exactly type of dumb monitor that you want
Yeah, if I can use it with just HDMI/DisplayPort and a remote and have no WiFi capability whatsoever, that's what I'm looking for. Ideally, it would have lots of ports (like >4) and not much else.
I'd really like 4k resolution, but I don't care about the rest of the features modern TVs have, and I can live without OLED. Our current TV (55"-ish) has 4k and I can still see pixels when somewhat close (like 5 feet away), so I don't really want to go down much in resolution when going up in size.
I just don't know much about the commercial offerings, so I'll have to ask around.
