digital signage is <2x the price of consumer TVs. i'm skeptical that an independent can do a comprable product for less, when normal consumer TVs are subsidized by their data collection and advertising businesses, and operate at the scale they do.
HDR is a good point, i haven't had a chance to use any of those newer TV features so i'm not sure what i'm missing there. but that's the sort of thing i'd wait a few years for to see if they stick around, or if they're just a fad to sell more TVs like 3D was.

HDR is very well adopted. Basically all 4K content now includes it. 3D was indeed a fad. But HDR is standard on 4K movie as well as video game consoles (excluding Nintendo Switch)
