My solution: Buy a very large monitor.

Then connect some streaming box to it you can easily replace if/when it gets shitty, instead of having to replace the whole TV.

Monitors are significantly more expensive than TVs and have features that TVs don't require.

That's true, but I considered it an investment for longer term instead of buying a cheaper midrange TV. With the exception of lacking HDMI 2.1, my 55" monitor has all the modern features, with the bonus of having dual input modes and a displayport.

It's basically what "dumb" TV's used to be, minus the antenna, but that's fine as a cord cutter.
