I see this label on most electronic devices I own:
"This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation." [1]
If the display comes with that label, shouldn't that be enough to make LG subject to a class action suit, or at least a huge fine from the FCC? Or is the FCC another agency that's lost its teeth this year, along with the FDA and the EPA?

- panda88888 10y agoI think LG is in the clear. My understanding is that as owner of the LG display, you simply cannot sue your WiFi router manufacturer for messing up your monitor, hence the "must accept any interference ... including interference that may cause undesired operation." Part 15 doesn't guarantee that the monitor will continue to operate under interference.
- ghostly_s 10y agoIndeed. My understanding is those terms mean your device can't defensively interfere with the operation of other devices because they are causing undesired operation of your device.
- delecti 10y agoI'm not sure why you'd have grounds to sue on that basis. Isn't this just an example of undesired operation caused by interference received? It's warning you that it must accept that interference. Shouldn't this mean that all wifi devices are causing harmful interference in violation of that text? I'm not trying to be snarky either. Am I just completely misunderstanding the meaning of that FCC warning?
- Kluny 10y agoI'm not sure, I was just trying to clarify. You and the other poster cleared it up, thanks.
