Do typical computer monitors spy on you now?
I’m buying a new monitor for the first time probably ever - quality isn’t too important to me, it’s for configuring a desktop machine that will mostly be a server. I know that most TVs are essentially spyware now, is the same true for monitors? If I get a cheap one or amazon, are there any concerns? Are there some that will make you install some software, or are there other tricks I don’t know about?
Not that anyone here has posted about. Monitors don’t typically have their own network connection so they can’t phone home unless they can piggyback on a connection from another device.
I’ve never heard of a monitor requiring a special driver or control software (except high end monitors that have color calibration tools)
