They're pretty similar these days. TVs will still tend to have an aerial socket and freeview receiver plus all the apps.
That 'smart monitor' is the first I've seen of such a thing, looks to me like a TV without the ability to receive any sort of broadcast signal.
Edit: It's not obvious why the monitor is more expensive though, nor why the cheaper TV wouldn't be just as suitable to use as a monitor.

So, TV vs monitor?
Trying to decide between a Samsung M7 or a TV equivalent. Both 4k.
My only condition is that it has Airplay, to stream from an Apple device.
I’m not sure what a TV is nowadays, as I haven’t bought one in a long time. Do they still need to be plugged into an aerial? Or do they operate just on wifi?
So what’s the difference between a monitor, like the one above, which has Airplay, Netflix etc and a TV remote, and a ‘TV’? Am I missing something?
Tempted to go for the monitor as I could use it in an office in future.
Help appreciated.
