It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

This needs to go viral and be posted in reviews for every monitor with this "feature". Heck, make a convenient warning icon indicating "adware" for such reviews so I can scroll past them faster.

No way I'm risking buying a TV or monitor from LG after seeing this. It would go right back in the box to be returned.

    Once it's established as a way to make money, everyone will add it.

    Don't be surprised to see it added to the GPUs at the output level, just in case you think any screen manufacturers will hold out.
