I presume sometime in the not too distant future, all TV's will have cameras and mics.

I noticed that TVs nowadays come with an HDMI connector for their video (and audio) input. Could a computer monitor with speakers serve in place of the TV?

I suppose that leaves the problem of not having a remote control for the 'TV'. However, if the inputs are from a cable-tv box or a media-box, they should have their own remote controls anyway.

Is there some simple reason to avoid doing this, which I overlook because of my ignorance?

50"+ computer monitors are rare (at least where I live).

Go for a projector then, that works pretty well for us.

Old games filling the whole wall is pretty jarring at first, but surprisingly you also get used to that.
