The issue there is most of the HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 TVs that would support the iPlayer for UHD are 32" and bigger.

You can get small HD HDR TVs but they don't seem to support an actual HDR input which makes a bit pointless.

It all depends on the setup. With a monitor you generally need extra stuff like externally connected speakers to make it work as a TV setup.

You would also be reliant on the device that provides the input to do most of the control.
