LG is taking action regarding its router-phobic 5K monitor – which hit the headlines earlier this week due to problems with interference from Wi-Fi hardware – pledging to fix the issue for those who have been hit by this bugbear.
Some customers have found that their UltraFine 5K Display essentially freaks out if positioned near a wireless router, leading to a flickering screen, or even a black one (and indeed connected MacBook laptops are being caused to freeze up, too).
LG’s customer support previously acknowledged this issue and advised monitor owners to ensure any router was placed at least 2 meters away from the display, but according to Recode , the firm has now said it will beef up the shielding on the product to cure the problem.
In an email, the company stated: “LG apologizes for this inconvenience and is committed to delivering the best quality products possible, so all LG UltraFine 27-inch 5K displays manufactured after February 2017 will be fitted with enhanced shielding.
