given the Web/browser interface, this may be a moot point, and I'm kinda guessing all monitor support has been removed to make it run faster, buuuut, it there any point in plugging a monitor/keyboard/mouse into my RPi 4B running DigiPi? 

I only ask because I have one here - just wondering...

thanks!!

You should plug in an hdmi monitor and find out! :)

An hdmi monitor will display the same thing that's on the "screen" link or on your
little gpio display.  The only drawback is that it's currently 1fps,  @720p, but still
useful.  I added bitblit 5 fps experimental support just recently, but it's cpu intensive,
not stable on Zero2W, works great on pi5 tho.

cool,
