Anyway to fix that to become a tv? I once bought a tv that had at one time been used for this purpose. Once it was unplug from the device storing the info it just became a flat tv.
I’ve seen Intel NUCs hanging from the backs of signage displays in Macca’s when I lived in Melbourne. I guess pushing updates to the menus would be easier. My company used Raspberry Pis in our showrooms - admittedly it was implemented horribly. They all used SD cards which ended up failing due to write wear.
Interesting about the new models, would be keen to get my hands on one 😅
That would be just a monitor, wouldn’t it? I thought most of these were just monitors with devices vesa mounted on the back…
Some of them are more like a giant, non-touch-screen tablets than monitors.
This probably just has this image saved into memory, and they can easily make it display something else.

I helped a friend hook one of these up to an old Linux machine. Super easy to do. Just uses it to watch Netflix or YouTube
What’s there to fix? Just hook up a video input and you’re golden.
A lot of the newer commercial displays have signage players built into them. The content is probably cached locally.

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
Anyone who uses an antenna. There’s a bunch of decent channels, like the news, you can get with an OTA antenna.
No. What you just described is “modern cable TV”. OTA channels are digital signals also.
