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.

I suspect that this is a smart TV being used as a monitor.

It says "Smart Monitor" right there in the pic.

It’s monitoring your activity and smartly displaying ads. Working as advertised!

Seriously! What is smart about these things? It's smart not to buy this bullshit. It's 1984 doublespeak just like the "open" in "OpenAI".
