    Huh, I’ve heard that commercial displays are the way to go. What do you mean when you say they are over engineered?

      They’re designed and built to run 16/7 or similar. If you have TV on 16 hours a day, a commercial display is worth considering.

      No, I’m not joking - I’ve seen folk who turn it on at sunrise, and off at bedtime.

      They’re industrial boxes with a screen. Not aesthetically what I want in my living room. The displays are chosen for their longevity, not their picture quality. They’re often actively cooled with fans, so adding a noise level to their operation.
