I'm glad to see you are actually doing this. I always remember your post from a few years back about building Industrial monitors and talking about this idea out loud and me thinking: "Fuck yeah I'll buy one." That idea has always stuck with me.

All my TV's have computers hooked to them, mainly low power x86 systems and run Linux or 9front on them. Linux gets me a browser which makes into a useful internet toaster to watch hulu, browse and so on. Then I can open terminals and whatever while I'm on the couch or in bed. It's 1000x more useful than a smart TV or even a TV stick.

Is the rS232 protocol ASCII based?

Sizes I use at home range between 32 and 55 inches. And I both stand them on tables or wall mount.
