Yes, the software is called LG OnScreen Control Plus. it runs silently in the background. it tracks which applications you use, when you use them, and how long. it phones home to LG servers. it cannot be uninstalled through normal means without leaving registry traces.

gamers noticed because some anti-cheat systems flagged it as suspicious software. the monitor was getting people banned from games.

now the TV side:

LG also updated its webOS terms of service. if you use the AI voice features on your LG TV, the company says you may need to inform guests in your home that conversations could be recorded.

not LG informing your guests.

you. the homeowner. legally responsible for notifying anyone who walks into your living room that the television is listening.

LG built a surveillance device. sold it to you. and made the disclosure your legal problem.

so to recap what LG shipped this year:

a monitor that installs tracking software on your PC without asking.

a TV that records conversations in your home and requires you to warn your guests.

both devices look exactly like a monitor and a TV.

neither one tells you what it actually is at the point of sale.

you found out when your game banned you.

or when you read the terms.
