Hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry about disabling the remote control feature on your LG 34SR60QC-B monitor to prevent it from controlling other devices. Your LG 34SR60QC-B is a Smart Monitor with webOS, which means it functions similar to an LG Smart TV and typically uses an infrared (IR) remote. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct setting on the monitor itself to completely "turn off" the remote control's functionality or its IR signal. However, you can try some approaches to minimize interference: Physical Obstruction: If the issue is with the remote's signal reaching other devices, you might try covering the IR receiver on the monitor (usually a small dark sensor on the front) with a piece of electrical tape. This may reduce its sensitivity and prevent it from picking up unwanted signals. HDMI-CEC (Simplink) Settings: If your other devices are also LG or have HDMI-CEC (called Simplink on LG devices), they might be sending control signals over HDMI. You can typically find a "Simplink" or "HDMI Device Settings" option in the monitor's (or connected device's) settings menu. Disabling this feature might prevent unintended control. Using the Joystick: The monitor has a joystick button located under the center of the panel (where the LG logo is) that allows you to turn it on/off, switch inputs, and adjust the volume without needing the remote. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-myview-34-wqhd-100hz-5ms-smart-monitor-with-hdr10-black/6595424.p?skuId=6595424 Your feedback is important, and we'd like to assist you further.
