That might be true, but it's not an "absurd suggestion." Amazon will sell you a Kindle for nearly 20% cheaper if you let it show you ads.

In terms of actual dollars, those ads are worth about 20. The value isn't much different for a TV.

When many commercial displays are hundreds of dollars more, it's pretty absurd to suggest ads are a large factor.

Only hundreds of dollars? Where do you find those? I would by a dumb panel on a trustworthy device for mere hundreds more.

Iiyama? They sell great high-contrast LCDs in various ratings, typically starting at 8/5 and up to the obligatory 24/7.
