Not defending the sickening concept of a “spy” monitor.

But my Dell P2423DE monitor has a USB-C “dock” built into it so that I plug a single cable into my laptop which connects it to 2x 1440p monitors, power, mouse, headset receiver, keyboard and a wired ethernet connection.

Quite frankly, it’s awesomely convenient.

It’s totally legitimate to have a network port on a monitor.

That does not sound to me like a network port on a monitor. That sounds like a monitor / docking station combination.

Yeah, but the Ethernet port is inside the display case and you control it from the display menu.
