Okay, LISTEN UP

DO NOT BUY LG.

Not ANYTHING LG.

Not only are they actively spying on you, not only have they updated their TOS to include requiring you to NOTIFY GUESTS ABOUT WIRETAPPING LAW, on Windows they're pushing ADWARE through WINDOWS UPDATE along with their monitor drivers - including on OLD monitors.

Gamers Nexus has all the deets:

DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS.

GN had a three-year-old monitor get an "update" that was adware. It wasn't even part of their investigation. It just happened to come in while they were investigating.

DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS.

    โš ๏ธ DO NOT BUY: LGโ€™s Spyware TVs, Monitors, and Wiretapping Concerns

    The attached details the absolute horror of LG and products, that install without consent, have integration, and a horrible privacy policy..

    > LG recently forced upon us an app install loaded with adware through a update. We found that this has been happening to tons of users, made worse by LG's shady history with 's that instruct buyers to inform house visitors of third-party microphones in their living room. At no point in the adware or application install did LG or Microsoft ask us for consent or permission to install the software and enable its various permissions. On monitors ranging 1 day old in our office to 3 years old, we've been able to replicate these issues -- including on the LG 34GX900A-B that we just bought (and have now returned, following concerns).

      An organization I consult with uses Dropbox and so I've been using it again recently, for the first time in years. Holy smokes. Everything is pop up this, notification that, most trying to upsell features and services I don't want. I don't remember it being so much like a used car dealership.
