    That would be just a monitor, wouldn’t it?

    No. The distinguishing feature between a monitor and a TV is that a TV has a tuner built into it.

    There are other things like the variety of inputs and screen position settings on monitors, but those are mostly minor.

      Who uses a tuner these days? Modern TV signal is just via Ethernet, and if you call that a tuner then my phone is a modem

        Who uses a tuner these days?

        Anyone who uses an antenna. There’s a bunch of decent channels, like the news, you can get with an OTA antenna.
