Why tf do monitors need apps now? Buttons on the side. Basic settings menu. Gotten by fine for decades with that.
Realistically, they dont, but LG’s PR team will probably give you a speil about updating firmware, bringing new content aware features to the screen, etc.
All bullshit so they can get more data from you.
