Anyone use Philips Hue lighting in an outdoor setting? Worth the investment?

Other half is working from home and would like a monitor to attach to laptop. Hope to use it for Netflix etc in the evening.

Willing to spend around €150. Anyone any recommendations?

LG IPS panels around that point are good value (vibrant colour) with slightly wobbly stands. Got about 5 good years out of my last one.

Current Samsung 24" is a bit meh for €100

Get something with a hdmi input. Easiest and cheapest to connect other stuff to.

If you've got a spare TV, the windows wireless display adaptor is very useful and takes no setup - I've been using one with my TV and can mirror or extend the display. I think sound works too.

Only £35STG from Currys but around €50-60 in Ireland.

Like most wireless devices it's flakey and slow. Can't beat a nice simple cheap wire.

If you have a spare tv then just hdmi your laptop into it. I think the issue is not having a monitor though.

Root kit.

Root is the most powerful account. So it's bypassing the manufacturer's controls.

Yep, you would most commonly do it to either uninstall some annoying bloatware installed by the manufacturer or install a custom version of Android.

For the typical person on the street, there's not any real benefit.
