LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences (x.com)

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Exactly, so why would a PC Monitor need to have it's own Netflix? The PC already has it.

Gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's a second language thing.

The initial comment was saying a netflix app on a computer monitor is completely useless since the whole point of a computer monitor is to plug in a computer, which if the user wants can easily play stuff off netflix through a browser or app. Not comparing a PC with Netflix, just saying it's stupid to put apps on a computer monitor (I agree).

But when would you buy a computer monitor for netflix and NOT have something with access to netflix to plug into it? If they didnt have anything with netflix and wanted it built-in then why did they buy a monitor and not a TV?
