We were considering replacing our old Samsung with a newer one. The "old one" is from the pre-AI era. Now it looks like the old one will stay for a while...

You can get slop-free ones by purchasing "commercial monitors"

That's what I do. You can actually get them super cheap is you dig enough. They're essentially just a screen with hdmi- no speakers no other ports etc. great for what I do.

If you don't dig they look expensive.
