I'm actually OK with this. The screens are generally of very poor quality. If they replace them with USB ports, that's all we need!

Especially with Netflix Offline mode, there's basically no need for these anymore.

Some of those screens look literally decades old. Horrible viewing angles, huge pixels, etc.

I was under the impression that the viewing angles were intentionally poor for the sake of privacy and not having glare in the faces of the people behind you.

I think this can be used as a pretext, but these screens look extremely old anyway. My TN monitor 10 years ago had a much better picture.

and horrible color reproduction and a contrast ratio of about 50:1.

having to stare at your lap or hold a screen at eye level is pretty hellish.
