If you're wondering what the commercial display provides over a residential all-weather display... First is the capability to run 24/7. These are usually used for digital signage, so they are often tasked with continuous use. The other is impact resistance. A commercial display is expected to survive much more harsh conditions in regards to impacts than a residential display.
Keep in mind the commercial displays have... a commercial look to them. Something like a Seura has a more-attractive case design. Also- the Seura has that little weatherproof storage compartment that a commercial display wouldn't incorporate. This compartment is really a great value add. You can either store your HDMI extender, or a streaming box like an Apple TV in this compartment.
Last thing.. that commercial unit isn't a 4K display. If you try and share a signal between this 1080p display and a 4K display (say with an HDMI splitter), the signal will be downgraded to the highest common resolution. In other words... If you try and share a source between a 1080p display with a 4K display, both will only receive a 1080p signal. Probably not an issue if you're only watching cable, but something to be aware of since 4K is quickly becoming the norm for a lot of content.
