LG firmware uploading problems

Keef5728 — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 15:27:05 GMT

Hi,

I have a widescreen LG monitor that can split the screen into 4. However I need to download firmware to my MacBook. I can get onto the LG firmware site but when I try and download the firmware it tells me that the site can't provide a secure connection. I have spoken to LG helpline and they stated that it was my provider that was blocking it.. Any help would be appreciated

Have you got parental controls or web protect enabled?

Is the site HTTPS or just HTTP? If the latter, it is probably either your browser or AV complaining.

In most cases it is your web browser or your antivirus that gives that warning because there is a problem with the web site that you are using

If it is your browser that is blocking it you could try turning off any antivirus/malware addons or try another browser.

Which model monitor is it, I'll see if it works for me to discount BT blocking it.

Likewise for me, downloaded no problem which would tend to indicate it is not BT blocking it.
