Monitor is a different device compared to a TV. TV without smart features is simply called a TV.

That is incorrect. A TV is simply a low-quality monitor, possibly with some kind of tuner or extra superfluous low-quality peripherals.

"That is incorrect" wasn't much of a rebuttal. Computer displays usually look like shit for video content, because showing video content well is much more complicated than nerds seem to believe.

The defining feature of a TV is the presence of a tuner. If it doesn't have a tuner for OTA (or cable) channels, it's not a TV.

Over-the-air and cable broadcasts are a thing of the past. How is life back in the 90s?

That is incorrect. A TV is a display panel optimized around a 10’ interactive distance. A computer monitor is a display panel generally targeting 2’-3’ at most.
