I bought an external monitor two months ago or so. Since then there were a total of three firmware updates, each one throwing out the display driver before showing the update dialog which, when closed without confirmation, had to be fished out of the bloatware again for the procedure to continue and actually re-install the drivers. My question is, why does a monitor even need firmware updates? I didn't gain any features, nor did I get an update report.
