Monitors are built for being an arm's length away. TVs are built for being several yards away. The pixel density changes accordingly

There are monitors built specifically for digital signage, these have the same specs as large TVs but no tuner or adware.

And so does the ability to use IR or some other remote control mechanism.

A “dumb tv” would just be a monitor with a remote to control power and volume.
