Hey do anybody know where you get a tv that supports 4k and does not have that locked up smarttv shit?

If there are none, does anybody know a tv that boots fast(less than 30 seconds) and displays an hdmi input by default without the need to choose the input from a menu.

Thanks in advance.

And sorry if I am in the wrong place.

Isn't that basically just a monitor?

While I get what you're saying, there are some differences between TVs and monitors that may be relevant to OP.

TVs have tuners built into them, if they need to receive overt the air or cable signals.

TVs have remote controls where monitors typically don't.

Large TVs are hella cheap compared to monitors of the same size.

Can you actually get TV-sized monitors?

Is there actually any practical use for having a tuner built in still? I haven't plugged a coax into one of those in like 15 years, it's always to a set-top box first and then hdmi from that to the tv, and the only reason we have cable at all is because of my dad.

Antennae’s still work great. Picture is better with no or little compression compared to cable. Great for live sports.
