    Some of them are more like a giant, non-touch-screen tablets than monitors.

    This probably just has this image saved into memory, and they can easily make it display something else.

        This displays often are not static, often displaying short video ads for seasonal items which take up the whole monitor.

        Probably less than the burn-in of a taskbar or window header

        Yes.

        There will either be a remote or just buttons on the display itself. You can select the source of what’s being displayed from a USB drive or SD card, that’s how it’s displaying the current image. Some of them have built-in casting options like chromecast.

        If it doesn’t have something built it, it will have HDMI in, which makes a chromecast, roku, firestick, or even just a PC a quick option.

            Commercial displays often still have buttons, at least on units that are designed to go inside.

            It also doesn’t say that this was stolen. It could have been a unit replaced during a remodel.
