So start making more dumb TVs and speakers. That way they don't need much memory.

I just want a straight up monitor with no built in wifi or Bluetooth or even speakers.

Just display the image I want it to when I want it to.

Every modern monitor has some memory in it. They have timing controllers and image processing chips that need DRAM to function. Not much, but it is standard DDR3/DDR4 or LPDDR RAM.
