I'd love to see a lawsuit regarding them knowingly shipping a monitor with this defect.

When the EULA is blocking the content, the monitor isn't working as advertised. And they willingly shipped it like that.

If this is anything like an LG smart TV — and, as the UI is identical to my C4, I assume it is — none of the agreements are required to use the device as a monitor.

On LG TVs, at least, you can also completely disable the WebOS UI via a command sent through an onboard RS-232 interface, at which point the TV displays no overlays at all.
