There may also be an overlap with models called “digital signage displays”, depending on brand.
They can be great because they’re warrantied for 24/7 use, unlike the regular kind. But otherwise are just a display, all TV capability gone, and the smart features are limited to centralised remote control over the network.
The Samsung ones we use at work for the likes of CCTV are so stripped down they don’t even have the ability to update their firmware over the network. Gotta load that onto a USB drive.
