Mil-spec can be great for some applicatons and irrelevant for others. A monitor is a case where it would be relevant - high quality components designed for long MTBF. But some mil apps mean pushing the envelope of performance rather than life. which you would never do in a consumer product design. In the 60's we ran into some things like that in transistor specs - some devices could meet mil-spec but not the kind of environmental life tests done for consumer TVs. The most stringent non-mil environmental specs are for automotive electronics, due to the temp ranges and voltage supply spikes they have to survive.
All that said, the examples of chassis posted here are obviously built to sturdier rules than consumer TVs, but it's not clear if they could make much more reliable lytics, for example.
