LG's 5K monitor doesn't work near Wi-Fi routers

<p>If you’re eyeing LG’s 27-inch UltraFine 5K display for Mac (http://www.macworld.com/article/3152393/displays/lgs-4k-and-5k-ultrafine-displays-now-for-sale-at-the-apple-online-store.html)—the monitor that Apple recommends for Mac users and sells in its online store (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/HKN62LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k-display)—you'll want to be aware of an irritating flaw in its design. The Thunderbolt 3-capable display apparently suffers from signal interference, rendering the monitor unusable when it’s within 6.5 feet or so of a wireless router. </p><p>You can find several reviews on Apple’s site (http://www.apple.com/shop/reviews/HKN62LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k-display?page=1) complaining about this problem, but 9to5 Mac’s Zac Hall (https://9to5mac.com/2017/01/30/lg-ultrafine-5k-display-router-disconnecting/) recently gave us a front row seat to this issue. Hall brought the 5K display home for his personal set up and immediately discovered the problem.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3163446/macs/lgs-5k-monitor-doesnt-work-near-wi-fi-routers.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
