Someone finally did it: a high-end TV with a DisplayPort connection actually is coming this year, including 4K 180Hz support (www.techradar.com)

Are there gaming screens like that though? Cause I thought commercial monitors were all slow response.

I've got a 43" Aorus 4k gaming screen for my desktop. 144Hz, freesync, 2 HDMI's a DisplayPort and a USBC. There is a 48" OLED as well, but I didn't have the space for it at the time.

After using a 4k 43" for a monitor for a few years, I definitely both recommend it AND wish companies would make 8k ones.

This ad brought to you by the gigabyte marketing division

Does anything useful even come in 8K at this point? I saw it as a spec last time I went television shopping, but it seemed like something that wouldn't be useful for another decade.

8k is effectively dead

He should have said commerical displays, which are basically TV's rated for long continuous use e.g. digital signage.

I haven't dealt with them in some time, but I would imagine many, if not most, do not include consumer smart tv features, although they probably have other embedded smart tech to help with stuff like signage.

[TVs] rated for long continuous use

Or, what we used to just label "TVs". The ones not rated for long continuous use should get a new name; perhaps "weak TVs".

The TVs you buy at Costco or Walmart aren't meant to be run 24/7 365. They never have been.
