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.

              Exactly, so why would a PC Monitor need to have it’s own Netflix? The PC already has it.

                That doesn’t make a PC better than Netflix. They’re 2 completely different and incomparable products.

                  Gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s a second language thing.

                  The initial comment was saying a netflix app on a computer monitor is completely useless since the whole point of a computer monitor is to plug in a computer, which if the user wants can easily play stuff off netflix through a browser or app. Not comparing a PC with Netflix, just saying it’s stupid to put apps on a computer monitor (I agree).

                  But when would you buy a computer monitor for netflix and NOT have something with access to netflix to plug into it? If they didnt have anything with netflix and wanted it built-in then why did they buy a monitor and not a TV?
