You said:
A lot of people want to minimize boxes hanging on their TV, not add to them. If this was actually a good TV, it might be worth the trade off, but it's not.
OK, but this isn't a good TV for that either. Besides the 4:4:4 chroma issue, there are the response time and horrible motion handling. The only reason anyone wants a 70" "computer/console screen" is to play video games and response time is one of the more important criteria?
No. Flickering trails following things moving on the screen, blurry text, and bad viewing angles are part of a monitor as well.
The main thing is: You cant convince me anyone is buying a 70" TV without the intention of watching TV on it. This is a bad TV.

Quote:long visible trailsThe response time on this TV is 34ms! (on my TV it is 10ms)
