Look! You can watch Netflix on this monitor!

Well, yes, there's a PC stuck on it, of course I can.

No, you can watch it without the PC!

Why would I want to use a monitor without a PC?

It's only half again as expensive! It's a steal!

    Tbf, you could probably actually stream Netflix at 4K on it since it gets limuted to something like 720p in the browser. But that's just because Netflix are bastards, not because of technical limits

    I think that depends on the browser (for reasons that I never really looked into). Some do 720p (I think that's Firefox), some do ~1k (the Chrome based ones), maybe more.
