LG 5K Ultrafine monitor fails near Wi-Fi routers

[AGTDenton]

Just in case someone has bought or is about to buy one of these monitors, this information could be useful. It certainly would be for me as I have my router right next to my current monitor.

Electronics giant LG has admitted its new premium-priced computer displays experience "performance issues" when placed near a wi-fi router.

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.

Seems like a bizarre oversight in this day and age.
