The 28” Samsung is 2.5 deep. Is there anything out there that is more “wafer” like? Seems like computer monitors are being made way thinner. Any reason not to use a monitor these days, other than limited inputs?

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

It’s in a corner with windows on both sides, high rise apt. Lots of exposure to the back of display. I normally just use Samsung which is fine and 2.5” But it seems like there should be some other options considering the way the monitors look these days.

A monitor generally doesn't have speakers, has only one hdmi/vga input. Power supply is outboard...
TV's have speakers, multiple HDMI inputs, coax input for antenna, and some have the power supply all built in... All for under $200. The manufacturers just cant make money making a small screen TV that is low profile.
We usually end up doing something custom for a job like this. A computer monitor with outboard switching and hidden speakers... Something line that.
LG recently (past couple of years) a fairly low profile small TV (not sure if they still do) They were very stripped down (one HDMI input, low quality speakers) but they were skinny... like 1.5"
