Anyone who owns an LG smart TV must inform all guests and family members that they are being monitored – this is required by LG’s current terms of use. Meanwhile, LG monitors install potential malware and surveillance software on a connected Windows computer.

If you run it on Windows, it has nothing to do with the monitor’s hardware. Windows Update will just install the driver to your system when it recognizes the display.
