It's getting really hard to find a solid, reputable brand of screen manufacturers that don't pull this kind of crap. I swore off Samsung screens after their popup ads in phones and TVs. LG was my next choice but this is deterring me even further.

At what points do ads just stop being effective? We're so saturated with them in every part of our life that I wonder when we just stop noticing the contents
What about DELL? The Dell UltraSharp lineup seems to be pretty solid. I am planning to get one once my LG Monitor dies.
I really appreciate that the Dell monitors don't have the stupid proprietary charging bricks. And fairly decent features.
I thought monitors lost those over 15 years ago, but a few years ago I got a Samsung gaming monitor that happened to come with a brick. Ugh.
I work at an e-waste recycling company. We get Dell monitors all the time. Their basic office monitors seem fine (~24" 1080p), but all our clients are too cheap to go for the more expensive models.
Have to say, I've never been disappointed by a Dell monitor.
Dell ultrawide is the way to go!
Honestly I was more thinking about TVs than monitors but I often forget Dell makes good monitors.
What about BenQ?
BenQ is great. Been using a DesignVue for years. It is boring and just works. Doesn’t require any specialized drivers either.
I am very happy with my BenQ monitors, they are great value and high quality.
