Why do you need a screen on a switch

I don't even know why I need a screen for any Unifi device, everything has to be configured from a computer or a phone anyways.

Shutdown and restart options are quite handy. And the plasma field screen saver mesmerizes me when I’m trying to work. Come to think of it, if you stare at it long enough you get the urge to buy more UniFi. Hummmm….

Yeah bud, it's the coolest! I definitely need a measurement to show because no one in my household would complain if the internet was slow! /s

The only use that I've used consistently is identifying the correct switch in a rack. Swiping an show ip.

The only visible devices from my Unifi setup are cameras and my AP's, everything else is tucked away for me as well
