   i like to say get a hdmi monitor at 4k or even 8k without any tuner at all,   
   then add newest google tv chromecast cheapest to it this is cheaper to get the   
   newest std stream and smart tv, if i find one that is just a monitor i will   
   get it   
      
    BP>> but it is expansive if it just a monitor, hmm   
    MK> The 4k I have is just a monitor.  It is not noticeably better than a

   add a google tv to it, you  will like the remote control at least :=)
