My next purchase will be a dumb tv with a media stick.
Unfortunately it's very hard to buy a decent dumb TV these days.
Buy a monitor, not a TV
Lemme just pluck a 52" monitor from the 52" monitor tree where 52" monitors grow bountifully.
Plenty of 48inches though, so compromise
I just checked. In the online stores of the 3 largest tech chains in my country, there's exactly one 16:9 40+" monitor model available, and that's a 43" VA panel. The other 40+" stuff are weird absurdly wide curved monitors and some smart whiteboard type thing. So forgive me if I am extremely doubtful of your claim.
I don't know what to say. I've just glanced at the shopping tab right now, and saw plenty of non-curved 48 inches monitor from LG, Samsung and even Dell.
I didn't check if they were all dumb though, but mine is (Aorus fo48u)
