LG has responded to criticism over its Monitor App Installer, after a YouTube video from Gamers Nexus in July 2026 revealed that the software was promoting the installation of third-party applications without user consent. In the case of Gamers Nexus, a pop-up recommendation to install McAfee was seen each time the computer booted up. LG has now given more information, and clarified how the application will be used in the future. However, the issue clearly lies with LG using this application, which is valuable for users to get the most out of their monitor, to also promote unnecessary third-party applications. 'Following customer feedback', LG says it no longer plans to recommend McAfee or any other third-party applications through the LG Monitor App Installer.
