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.

Wow, this is useless!

Seriously, who the hell use Netflix on a monitor when you have a literal pc connected to it that is way better.

    Maybe because many streaming services have locked their 4k content behind some specific apps and platforms and offer lower resolutions on general desktop PCs.

    Yes? There’s this thing called a web browser and you type in Netflix.com and behold: netflix!

    Exactly, so why would a PC Monitor need to have it's own Netflix? The PC already has it.

    Gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's a second language thing.

    The initial comment was saying a netflix app on a computer monitor is completely useless since the whole point of a computer monitor is to plug in a computer, which if the user wants can easily play stuff off netflix through a browser or app. Not comparing a PC with Netflix, just saying it's stupid to put apps on a computer monitor (I agree).
