I don't even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they're saying....hey do you want a worse experience?

They're called digital signage displays. Those module slots are usually in the intel SDM form factor.

This stuff is expensive as these displays and modules are rated for 24/7 operation and the software they ship with by default is specifically made to manage content on a large fleet of them.

You're honestly gonna get a way better experience for cheaper by getting a normal TV + a NUC/Nvidia shield and just not connecting the TV to a network ever.

oh, okay. random cheapo OLED it is.

define "cheapo"

since the processing power doesn't matter and it's not being connected to the internet, it can be any chinese underspecced tv as long as the screen itself is good.

Until Amazon Sidewalk make every smart TV connected against your will
