I am frankly surprised they do not all do this, and predict they all will. There will be no "don't connect it to the internet" nor even "use a pie hole" solutions possible, because the manufacturers will intentionally block them

- mtrower 4y agoI think this is probably a valid solution in many cases. However, it is not a computer monitor, which is the explicit item at question here.

- mtrower 4y agoBooks are a marketing solution in search of a problem. Watch a movie. …convincing, isn’t it?
- mmcgaha 4y agoMy TV is a 43" HP Monitor. Some things just don't work right. The Roku cannot turn off the display like it could my old television. Since the monitor has no speakers, I have to use a soundbar but the Roku remote cannot adjust the volume so I have to use two remotes. None of this is a big deal to me but it is not seamless.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoI have a Roku Ultra LT, and the remote has an IR blaster. I have it control TV power and sound bar volume via IR just because it's more reliable than CEC. It is seamless for me. Perhaps you could upgrade to the higher end remote?
- mmcgaha 4y agoYou may be right. I am on the Roku accessories page and it doesn't look like my remote is even sold any more. Mine is the voice remote with headphones but it does not have the two shortcut buttons.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoI got the Roku Ultra LT back in November and I vaguely recall only spending $40 for it new. It looks like just the remote it came with is $40 now! Might be worth picking one up on eBay or something?
