LG users complain about unwanted ads on TVs and gaming monitors

LG is facing backlash after users reported pop-up ads and promotional content on its TVs and UltraGear gaming monitors.

The complaints spread online, prompting a Microsoft response and a pledge from LG to disable the monitor pop-ups.

The dispute underscores growing consumer resistance to ads embedded in connected devices.

It could push LG and other brands to rethink how they monetize TVs and monitors.
