No. And it doesn’t make sense for them to make one.
It doesn’t make sense bc TV margins are razor thin.It may not make sense given that they may have to outsource some of the components and the fact that the tv box works well but there would be some people out there who would have an apple tv in every room in their house.
In terms of design, gosh yes. It would be beautiful. It would be beautifully built and i'm sure that its sound quality would be decent too. Now, Apple is the only tech/electrical company that I buy - ATV, iPhone, MacBook, AirPods, software - iTunes - Music - Film - vlogs, Photos, FCPX, Logic, Pages, Keynote.
No, in terms of with the Apple TV box, I upgrade it every 2 years or so when the new one comes out. TVs every 10 years I guess. We have the LG OLED and its picture is great but i'm still not happy having an LG in the house. I guess that I remember when it used to be a cheap and crappy brand and even to this day, i'm sure that these LG and Samsung TVs last longer than 5 years before they need replacing.
I buy the new model eg ATV 4K replaced the 4 after 2 years and of course, my ATV 4 replaced the ATV3 - the 4 compared to the 3 offered app store, 60 fps which was important to me, better processor, better remote, better security of course through tvOS which offers monthly OS updates etc.The High End LG TVs & Samsung's are great TVs.
Why do you upgrade your Apple TV every 2 years? There are significant changes to do so?

Same discussion elsewhere:
Apple TV (actual television) Closer to Reality
So Apple is doing everything but TVs and appliances.
Sure their appliances would sell like hot cakes but I am sure an Apple TV would be more prevalent.
Would you guys purchase an Actual TV made by apple if it was available?
