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.

Their TV does but I’m not sure how it works with monitors. Maybe it’s just hardcoded ads in their software. I don’t see how the monitor can have a network connection…

Ethernet over HDMI Ethernet over display port Ethernet via thunderbolt They could probably do something tricky with a driver and serial over HDMI

I don’t know about this one but several LG monitors actually have Wi-Fi built in.

Of course, If it was using Wi-Fi you could just not connect the Wi-Fi. But some manufacturers are getting smart and are able to use open networks to call home. You could open it up find the antenna and short it out directly to the ground plane

Yeah it’s odd, maybe the monitor has a sort of usb-c -over-displayport ethernet adapter ?
