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.

Wait, so the monitor has some sort of network capability?

I assume it’s full of streaming apps or something and they just also added this fun ad junk to 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.

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.
