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.

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.

This should be illegal. That functionality has nothing to do with accepting ads.

This is really upsetting to see them get away with this.
