It appears to be this line of Smart Monitors: https://www.lg.com/us/smart-monitors

Why the fuck would anyone buy a "smart monitor" that is hooked up to a computer? Are they too incompetent to directly watch Netflix/Prime/etc on the computer? What is LG's target audience here?

I'm guessing snwy_me got the monitor from someone else and forgot to factory reset it and disable WiFi.

Yeah, I'm trying to see what the problem is here. Seems like just a reason to gripe. What difference does any of this makes if the monitor itself is only fed a video signal (i.e. don't connect its wifi). Does the monitor fail to operate without its WiFi connection or something?
