I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

Why even buy 'em, tho? They’re basically shitty monitors with spyware for brains.
Well if you want anything over 35 inches a TV is your only option. They don’t really make monitors bigger than that.
Because we don’t all live in dorm rooms sitting at desks watching TV. Some of us need something besides a 32-in.
I have enough back problems to remember a time when a 32 inch television WAS a big-screen. My family had a 35 inch Sony Trinitron that weighted as much as a motorcycle. You do not NEED a 50+ inch screen.
I’m 43. I remember those days as well. It was shit.
I’m 38, and I remember the last gasps of CRTs in the early 2000s more fondly than the colicky 10-year toddlerhood of digital flat panels that followed.
I’m 40 and my only TV is a 13" CRT that I’m rocking for movies and games
I mean, you also had pretty low quality TV and home media, anything beyond 32 inches wasn’t doing much good for you.
Projectors have improved dramatically over the years. Any white wall can easily become a 100+inch display that’s good enough for movies.
well its not the only option, its the only consumer ended option.
the corporate option is large format display/digital signage screens
My experience is that digital signage displays are still HDMI-only.
many are hdmi only, but there are several that have display port as well. I see a lot since I work in lease return/e-waste recycling.
Are there a lot of 65" PC monitors?
Alienware once sold a 55" 120Hz OLED monitor.
Edit: It originally cost $4000
about the same specs as my TV, but 10" less and 4x its price
It looks to be $1200 on Amazon. Decent for OLED.
I got my 42 inch lgc2 for $990 a few years ago.
Technically those menu boards at restaurants.
Not that many it seems… Ignoring extremely pricey ones, I could find the Lenovo ThinkVision E65 LFD for what converts to 1200 USD in a local shop. And even that is not really price competitive.
