I have a similar monitor from LG. I pair it with a MacBook, and there are times when the MacBook isn’t connected, but I still want to watch Netflix. Or even when the MacBook is connected, if I’m not at my desk it’s easier to control with the remote. It actually sees more use as a standalone streaming device than as a monitor. I think smart monitors are convenient multi-purpose displays and make a lot of sense for home use. Not so much for office use like in the source tweet.
