Jeff Geerling: Smarter than a Smart TV!
Overall, this display is one of the best 'TV's I've used—even though it's not, technically-speaking, a 'television'. There isn't any spyware, adware, or other janky software running on it, the colors and brightness are excellent, and most of all it just works. There are OLEDs and other displays with more vibrant color, deeper blacks, and more brightness—but most of them won't last if you run them 24x7 across a variety of environments and try managing them from a central location!
