Don't worry, like smart TVs, wifi connected devices will become cheaper than their alternatives soon
Do dumb TVs still exist at all?
Yes and they cost more!
Yes, look for commercial tvs
You can get a 55" gaming monitor.
Fucking hell. Is the screen made of diamonds? It's 4x the price of a TV of the same size. What are they smoking?
Maybe the smart TV's are being subsidized by the money they make selling the data they collect from you?
Sure. But this doesn't account for the whole 1000€ difference in price.
Is it specifically advertised for gaming, with high refresh rate or something similiar?
Mainly GTG response time and latency. For watching movies it's generally not a problem, but when it comes to playing games with a mouse, latency can be a huge issue, and bad GTG response time leads to smearing.
But yeah, 4x the price is ridiculous.
