It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn’t matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

    Generally, we (sadly) see smart monitors come up like smart TVs did ten years ago.

    Some noteable features include streaming apps (netflix…) and wireless screen mirroring from phones.

      Wow, this is useless!

      Seriously, who the hell use Netflix on a monitor when you have a literal pc connected to it that is way better.

        Maybe because many streaming services have locked their 4k content behind some specific apps and platforms and offer lower resolutions on general desktop PCs.

        If it’s all the same driver board, they save on complexity of having different parts. I hate it but it’s true. Samsung gaming monitors now have to keep track of a remote to change settings.
