Anyone who owns an LG smart TV must inform all guests and family members that they are being monitored – this is required by LG’s current terms of use. Meanwhile, LG monitors install potential malware and surveillance software on a connected Windows computer.

    That’s what I thought was happening here. The headline is a bit incorrect… the monitor didn’t install the bloatware, Windows did.

    Now the drivers/software that Windows installed is likely from the MS store/update path and was made and signed by LG, but still. Plug this monitor into linux and it’s not going to do it because linux doesn’t have that mechanism.
