Backlash over LG ads on TVs and monitors prompts Microsoft intervention
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. LG asserts McAfee is not auto-installed and requires explicit user consent, while critics note this points to LG’s broader home-screen ad strategy under its Ad Solutions division, which may attract further complaints.
