I just bought the LS49CG954SNXZA monitor. All the smart features are really aggravating. I just want a monitor, but this is constantly popping up with stuff. I want it to leave me alone and just be a monitor. How do I turn all this off?
Turn off the WIFI on it. And in the settings change it so it does not AutoStart smart hub. The monitor has a Linux operating system in it and it is essentially an OLED TV just manufactured in a computer monitor shell. With those settings changed it just boots directly into my windows screen and I receive no notifications. FYI if you are going to run it at 5120x1440 @240hz you need a VESA certified 2.1 Display Port cable DP80. The Display Port cable that comes with the monitor does not support the bandwidth needed for that resolution. They only make them 1.5 Feet long so your device needs to be super close to the monitor or you can use an HDMI 2.1 certified cable of any length and reach that resolution as well. The only time I connect the monitor back on WIFI is to check for the auto updates to the software and firmware every couple of months and then turn it back off.
