Large wi-fi screens - without tv reception

Possom

I'm not that techy, so apologies is a daft question...

Is it possible to purchase a tv-sized screen which is itself wi-fi enabled, but is *not* capable of receiving live broadcast signals; therefore meaning it's not a television.

Well, if this was possible, I'm presuming it would be possible to pick up the wi-fi signal from the home wi-fi box.

You can get TV's that have wifi but dont know of screens not able to get a tv broadcast.

Probably, have a look at screens intended for digital signage applications.

Likely to be more expensive than a mass-market telly though.

I was sort of thinking of around the standard tv size nowadays of around 40 inch.

But perhaps this is the sort of thing I would be looking for i.e. a gaming monitor.

I wonder if, though, it needs to be connected to a PC in order to function?

Why not share what use you have in mind for it.

Do you not need a licence for a any device that is capable of watching broadcasts?

The licence is required for ‘receiving’ broadcasts not for watching them! A display device without tuners is the ultimate defence (unless you have something else connected that does... like a DVR).
