Worse yet, now high end monitors (Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED) are offered with poorly implemented smart TV hub features.

The only thing that works well on their smart TV hub features is the ability to block signal from my current-gen Chromecast.

Coordinated asshole design.

How does that blocking work?
I have no idea, except that it blocks video output, and comes up with a prompt to log in to whatever service via the TV. I can cast just fine from e.g. a webpage or a podcast app. But Netflix or Max or Prime? Forget it.
