Try a Spectre t.v. they're made for digital signage. I got one and hooked it up to a media server.

Seems promising, but also seems to be an US thing. I should've mentioned I'm in the EU.

Ah, my bad. Sorry.

They seem to be consumer grade, but dumb. Does someone here have one? How are the refresh rates? Can I play FPS games with at least 60hz on it?

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have one. It's 4k, which gave me some trouble from an Ubuntu media server, and the refresh rate is ~144, I believe. It cost me something like 300-400 USD.

Awesome, then I'll probably get one. Thank you!

It's also 60", which is absurdly large to me lol. Glad I could help, though.
