over 100% of the BT.2020 pro color space

What does this mean? BT.2020 already requires pure monochromatic subpixels (which you're not gonna get with LCD), so you can't go beyond that unless you use 4+ subpixels (in which case the extra colors will just go unused, since HDR video is delivered as BT.2020). Or is BT.2020 Pro a smaller gamut than BT.2020?

This article is the only thing I can find on Google which mentions "BT.2020 Pro", at least in English.

Can you install KDE TV on it?

You mean Plasma Bigscreen?

I didn't know KDE TV existed, it seems awesome!

I couldn't quickly find any information on streaming services. I'd love to swap out the slow smart tv ui for this, but if my wife has to fumble with webbrowers using a tv remote, it will not last.

Does it act as a dumb monitor? Can all smart TV features be permanently disabled?

[–] FG_3479@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

All smart TVs which let you go through the setup wizard without connecting to Wi-Fi can be.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (5 children)

You can prolly just not connect it to Wi-Fi but I seriously doubt any TVs these days don't have this bullshit.

Ah so close!

If it lacked any smart tv features and had displayport it would be my next tv.

Now gimme one without smart tv bullshit

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Just attach your own streaming media player like Nvidia Shield or Chromecast or some other such device and you can just boot into that and bypass all smart TV features

I like TV's. I was using 3 1080p 60hz TV's as monitors. I recently upgraded to a Philips Google TV. 43" 4K, 144Hz, with HDR10 & Dolby Atmos. The difference is amazing. and I love the larger size.

Couple of years ago I bought an LG 50” TV as a monitor. Since it was cheaper then buying a large monitor. I also like the large size, since my eyesight has gone to shit. Also I have a deep desk so I can just push the TV to the edge of my desk and have all the desk space available and still have a screen that fills my view. I only wish it was curved since 50” is just a bit too large.

I once got a 42" tv from some Korean brand Seiki for like $400 back in like 2008. The best thing about it was you could update the firmware to that of one of their other models and get true 1080p 120hz without any of the post processing junk ruining response times.

Lasted me a little over a decade before something burnt out, best gaming monitor ever though.

It's not going to be cheap, though — in the US, the 65-inch model is officially priced at $3,499.
