Detailed explanation-1: -No, a monitor is just a display device and, like the mouse, is not subject to viruses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Yes. As the technology has advanced, people know how to make viruses which infect the input devices. Those viruses are known as rootkits.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monitors are not affected by viruses. They are peripheral and do not transfer any information. Viruses can affect the software in your PC, laptop, or desktop but not hardware. Viruses need mediums like emails and text messages, etc., to enter a computer and then spread it into other computers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Yes, though unlikely. USB devices can lie about what they are, for example the device can be crafted to appear as an network card, keyboard or external storage, or all three or more.
