Later or Agree
No Disagree option

A rapist mentality.

Nope.

Back in the box and straight back to the store.

Returning is not enough. Boycotting is not enough. We need to be marching on the FTC and Congress with torches and pitchforks about this shit!

This just makes me think of every thread complaining about smart tvs and every comment saying "just buy a monitor!"

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.

Wait, so the monitor has some sort of network capability?

I assume it’s full of streaming apps or something and they just also added this fun ad junk to it.

I would return that shit immediately. There is absolutely no use for smart functionality in a computer monitor. I would suspect it's a TV sold as a monitor and will have the same issues as using a TV as a monitor.

I would call legal and IT. It's outside the scope of my role to accept contacts on behalf of the company.

I was so pissed when I realised most of the feature on my smart monitor were disabled by disallowing network connection. especially when those features where present on my non smart monitor. Things like dual input so having two devices over HDMI / DPI display on separate portions of the screen was fine on my old lg ultra wide but on the new smart ultra wide it is disabled all because I won't agree to they're terms.

Some of my favourite monitors have been from LG but these days I get by just fine never buying any of their products and I will continue to do so. Eat shit, LG.

That's tragic, LG monitors used to be great.

Why on earth have you let your monitor access the internet

Seeing the word "smart" in a device description has become a warning flag.

Louis Rossmann has LG as an anti-sponsor. He calls them out for their bullshit in some of his videos.

Haha, that's almost impressive. But no, I will not be buying an LG monitor now.

Report it as a bug. No matter if it was on purpose, a TV displaying ads is malfunctioning, they have to fix it.

LG is on my total boycott list. Samsung, HP, LG.

Why is it on the network anyway?

I've kept mine disconnected from the internet. I worry eventually that they will force it to be online to be used.
