If you have a link or can tell me what store to walk in and get a dumb TV with even half the quality of my current TV I will take it. I could only find business displays which were all stuck at 60hz or had a color spectrum and contrast so bad my ten year old laptop IPS screen beat them.

Well I suspect the quality is not going to be up to your standard, but this is the one I have in my living room, and I think it's perfectly fine. But if you just can't live without 120hz or whatever, then I guess you're stuck.

Walmart used to have a variety of these, now they're down to one. All my TVs are either 10+ years old or Sceptre and therefore are all dumb. But I don't have a purist bone in my body when it comes to AV stuff.

It's not a bad TV. And if it was just watching movies or something I definitely wouldn't care about 120hz, but it's just so much better for gaming.

I'm not a purist, like I said I'm rocking a TCL which is low end, but I've come to appreciate some level of specs I can't go back on.

That is over twice the price with low specs. You argument is invalid.

You literally just linked me a 60hz business display. The thing I said was the only thing I could find and ruled out...
