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.

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

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.

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

Smart Monitor is the same as a Smart TV, not surprised

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

They can't if it's never connected to the internet.

Looks like it has smart functions, so same software as their TVs and you can actually just decline terms but some functions won't be available. It's not just one chcekbox so you can have some smart functions for some privacy. It's one of the better solutions. Anyway without internet there cannot be any tracking or ads so as a monitor it has just fancier osd.

Someday in the future even our toilets will all be connected to the internet
