An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.

LG’s monitors were downloading malware/ad BS so you can’t trust the monitors either.
To be clear this was Windows, detecting you had an LG display device plugged in, and Windows Update opting to automatically download the latest drivers/software for that LG display.
LG’s Windows drivers were doing that. LG deserves the blame and can’t be trusted, but ditto for Windows itself.
