(SAMSUNG 65-Inch Class OLED 4K S95B Series Quantum HDR TV(QN65S95BAFXZA, 2022 Model)

Nothing about this is aimed towards commercial:

That is a 2.5 year old model (out of stock on Newegg), standard high end consumer smart TV, not sure why you think otherwise:

“ Amazon Alexa Compatible / Bixby Compatible / DLNA / Dolby Atmos / FreeSync (AMD Adaptive Sync) / Google Assistant Compatible / High Dynamic Range (HDR) / Mountable / Samsung SmartThings Compatible

SMART TV WITH MULTIPLE VOICE ASSISTANTS: This TV comes with your favorite voice assistants built-in and ready to help. Choose from Bixby, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant”

It’s less expensive than a G4 because it’s is generations older than a G4. Samsung is now on the S95D.

Yes, I did paste the wrong link. Sorry about that. I meant to paste this one[0] However, there are other options available with oled, AI upscaling, etc. They are sold as "business displays" or similar, and can be expensive, but is exactly what a lot of people want instead of a "smart" TV.

Ok, an edge lit LCD with "4000:1" contrast, 350 nit, is nowhere in the ballpark of a QD-OLED display. This isn’t even SotA for LCDs. This has no HDR display capability, no VRR. PQ wise it will be smoked by even some $300 Black Friday specials. It runs the same Tizen OS as the consumer TVs, and will still be annoying, just maybe not in all the same ways. This isn’t even close (and anything running Tizen is arguably not completely "dumb") and is precisely what I’m saying. If there really is something comparable, then why didn't you just link to that?

On the other hand it won’t burn in, just color shift. It’s built for a different purpose (digital signage), neither movies/entertainment or gaming.

I maintain there’s a very small consumer market for those willing to forgo a decade (but even 1 or 2) of flat panel advancements just to not leave WiFi or Ethernet off. But good luck to anyone who tries.

LG used to make a commercial HDR OLED large format in one size (65 inch), it's was $20k, now $10k for new old stock. Still not as bright as newer consumer displays (it's 3 gens behind), therefore not great for HDR, and no VRR. It's just not a market.
