It's not a good idea for all the reasons listed.

Again, this is not a serious thread. please read previous posts before responding.

short of an AIO which already exists and includes everything not just the GPU, I don't really think the idea is worth doing (although it is 100% possible). I think the modularity of computers is part of their appeal and combining parts reduces that modularity.

I'm not considering doing this. I merely just had a idea and posted it to see what people thought about it.

I don't see you coming up with any better ideas lol.

Saying "This is a terrible idea, and normal monitors are better" is a better idea.

Pmuch  The 'better idea' to any 'awful idea' is 'Just maintain the status quo.'

 

What's a better idea than taking a $100 bill out of the bank and setting it on fire?  Just not doing that is a way better idea.  We don't need a better idea on what to do with the $100 bill, don't even withdraw it in the first place.

Fair  point.

Not necessarily, If you had a discrete GPU inside a monitor that could provide a higher resolution, frame rate and performance in general.

no it can't.

You can't just wave your hand and make up how hardware actually works.

How would it provide that? Your GPU sets the limit to what can be output to the monitor. The monitor sets the limit to what you can see from that information stream. A 1080p monitor will never be higher resolution, because the panel is built with only 1920x1080 pixels. A 60 Hz panel will never be more than a 60 Hz panel, because the panel and circuitry are built to refresh at 60 Hz.

 

The idea is fine, all-in-ones exist after all, but the practicality is limited because packing powerful hardware inside a monitor faces similar challenges as trying to pack powerful hardware into laptops. The monitor's panel outputs heat and the GPU outputs a massive amount of heat both in a tiny enclosed space making cooling harder.
