LG fixing Wi-Fi interference problems with UltraFine 5K Display, new units will be unaffected

<p>Earlier in the week, we reported (https://9to5mac.com/2017/01/30/lg-ultrafine-5k-display-router-disconnecting/) that the LG UltraFine 5K Display can be effectively unusable if placed near a Wi-Fi router with some kind of radio interference causing the monitor to regularly black out and hang the connected MacBook Pro.</p>
<p>LG has now said that it has identified the hardware problem in which Wi-Fi routers within 2 feet of the display resulted in signal interference issues. All new UltraFine units produced after February will not be affected as they will be fitted with ‘enhanced shielding’. Existing owners of the UltraFine 5K Display, recommended by Apple as the best companion to the 2016 MacBook Pro (http://amzn.to/2k31fgL), will need to contact LG support for assistance.</p>
