Second product for this mythical OEM should just be a TV with an instant-on button and as many hdmi ports that will fit given a small-as-possible bezel. One model per year per common size->one price. Big sale on thanksgiving and then the slightly better ones come out.

> a TV with an instant-on button

Please. I use a 4k TV as my computer monitor. It's works fairly well for that because I researched it and found a good fit, but I use a remote to start it every time, and it takes 15-20 seconds before it's ready to receive input. That's a long time to be sitting in front of your computer waiting, especially when it happens 3-10 times a day.

It's because TVs have become computers with a display.

Try an analog TV and you'll see real speed!

I avoid those problems by never turning my TV or monitor off. It does mean they light up the room at night so it wouldn't work if you had it in a bedroom.

Seems like a huge waste of electricity.

I've heard that these exist,but are marked as “lcd pannels”, meant for displaying information in public places.
