LG faces backlash over intrusive ads on its TVs and gaming monitors after reports that the LG Monitor App Install could trigger pop-ups for McAfee on Windows PCs; Microsoft stepped in and LG reportedly disabled the prompts.

Samsung’s Odyssey G80HS is a 32-inch IPS LCD that can run 6K (6144x3456) at 165Hz and drop to 3K at 330Hz, delivering up to 224 PPI. It emphasizes pixel density over sheer resolution, with HDR10+ support but no Dolby Vision and brightness around 350 nits (400 peak).

Pricing and market demand remain unclear, with potential buyers weighing the extra cost against established 240–360 Hz options.
