Electronics giant LG has admitted its new premium-priced computer displays experience “performance issues” when placed near a wi-fi router.<\/p>\n
The LG Ultrafine 5K monitor costs almost \u00a3900 and is promoted as an external display for Mac devices.<\/p>\n
But customers noticed the display flickered or switched off when near a wi-fi router and some posted negative reviews on Apple’s website.<\/p>\n
LG told the BBC that customers should change the location of their display.<\/p>\n
“Monitor arrived today and the picture flickered on or off when using with a brand new Macbook Pro,” wrote one reviewer.<\/p>\n
Another added: “The device is not properly shielded from wi-fi radiation, so you can’t have a wi-fi router within two metres of this display or it will go black.<\/p>\n
“Simply not ready for public release.”<\/p>\n
In a statement, LG apologised for any “inconvenience” customers had experienced.<\/p>\n
“Changing the location or positioning of either the router or the display should resolve the issue,” it said.<\/p>\n
It added that any Ultrafine 5K monitor manufactured from February 2017 would have “enhanced shielding” to protect the devices from electromagnetic interference, while customers experiencing persistent problems should contact LG.<\/p>\n
