Buy a dell monitor [1] or similar. Please link any similar products from competitors here, this company is just the one I know of that comes to mind.

sorry forgot the rest of the post.

You build your own set top box to connect to it, which can be pretty good quality while being pretty cheap [1]

If you need free to air tv plug a usb dvb dongle into it. Use Kodi, possibly witha mythtv plugin and enjoy.

I've been using mythtv server plus raspberry pi running LibreELEC ("just enough OS for Kodi") for each CRT in my house...making them "smart" but without the surveillance.

Not everyone here is a pre-IPO employee. I'd say 90% maybe, not everyone.

~ USD 1,500, are similar spec "television" monitors wildly cheaper than that in the US?
