I bought a 4K 240Hz OLED gaming monitor a week ago and it connects to the internet & has streaming services on it. By default, it has annoying popups on startup that can't be turned off in the default menus[^1]. It's extremely frustrating, but it is on me for not doing my research and just getting the highest-rated monitor across review sites...

Why did you connect it to the internet?

Return it and buy something else. Don’t put up with the abuse.

Yea return it 100%. No way in hell should a computer monitor be connecting to the internet or have streaming apps. In fact this is the first I've heard of this. "Gaming monitor" in name only.

I don't see the issue if it only pops up when the screen is turned on. In my case that's only when the PC is starting. How often do you turn your screen off...?
