Seems kind of minor, and I run Linux not 'doze so I do not know if this mentioned software came with the unit and am not affected by it, but those of you Running with Redmond might wish to have a look about.

You don't need special software to run a split screen in Windows. Perhaps you should upgrade from Linux.
I used to play with Linux on some old boxes, but most distros are as bloated as MS these days. Unless you run one of the light builds with limited functionality, you might as well stick to Windows.
LG, as a company in general, is the lowest form of scum. After recently having gone through a horrific “adventure” in the most degrading possible parody of “customer service” regarding a less-than-optimally-functioning LG cell phone, I won’t have an LG product in my home. LG, for me, stands for “Lousy Garbage”.
Why would you need software to use a monitor? Is this SplitScreen thing something special, or just a regular extended desktop? The article doesn’t describe it at all.
I want a 21:9 monitor- I might still consider the LG, but I wouldn’t run any of their software with it.
Although there seems to be some difficulty in deciding if this indeed an LG problem or a Windows problem.If LG’s software actually disables UAC, that is most definitely an LG problem. How incredibly incompetent! To give you a Linux equivalent, imagine some piece of software simply chmodding everything in $PATH to setuid root, probably because they can’t be bothered to figure out how to deal with operating system security properly. Yes, it is that bad!
Not a problem with Windows if you’re on Win8 or higher. Split-screening is now built into the operating system.
Also, there are PLENTY of monitors out there that do split screen without software. My ASUS 4K monitors do split screen with the touch of a button, but then they were $500 apiece. Get what you pay for, I suppose.
