Cons:

  * power button is some gimmick optico fingerprint reading crap that is somehow less user-friendly than a light switch for 10 cents
  * turning the monitor back on will take 3-15 seconds, and due to above you may end up waiting 20 seconds to discover you didn't activate the button properly, depending on the monitor
by all means, I don't intend to defend using a web browser to set the color of pixels

It's true. Under MacOS, one of my displays flickers 3 times when I turn it on, the other one twice. Somewhere along the way, we made a wrong turn.
