> 3 dayReplaced my older Samsung 1080p 60 hertz monitor. Much Better picture quality, brighter screen and colors, better user controls over every setting. Should have done this sooner. Used for gaming (Elden Ring runs great).

22-11-2024I just got this monitor a day ago at the time of the review, so if anything changes I will update it. This monitor works great with both my Gaming Pc and the series X. The PC uses the G-sync and this monitor display 1440p 144hz perfectly. The display is so smooth compared to my 1080p 60hz monitor I was using. The xbox series x is also great on this monitor. I get 1440p 120hz on it with out a problem. This is an hdmi 2.0 monitor and not a 2.1 so dont go expecting 4k 120hz. Great monitor and have enjoyed it over the last 24 hours. Will update if anything changes since my early review of it.

20-11-2024Unfortunately, this product has a lot of 5 stars, so many people will be tricked into buying this. There are probably much better monitors for this price. The HDR is super washed out, it looks much better with it off. The picture is really nice and games look great. As far as 1440p & 144hrz, it delivers. Also, I did not know that there were no built in speakers. For this price, there are countless other options that has built in sound. Overall, keep looking around. There is probably something better you can spend your money on.

> 3 dayPackaging is very durable, great product for the most part. Display looks pretty good. My only complaint is the viewing angles are really not the best. See pictures for context, this is NOT the focus on the camera, the edges just get blurry at certain angles. This is not a major problem for me, just something I noticed that other similar displays had no issue with. Also worth noting, I am using a VESA mount so I am not able to provide feedback on the stand.

> 3 dayA very good monitor for all your UHD 1440p needs. Use it in a dark room? Turn down the brightness and youre good to go, but for your own sake do not switch modes while viewing in the dark unless you wish to unleash the power of the sun on your eyes. Youre better off saving that power for when you are fighting off the glare of the actual sun if for some reason your monitor faces the window. Other than that the colors are vibrant and its very responsive, youre definitely getting your moneys worth. Its worth noting that although the pixels are significantly smaller than any 1080p monitor, you can still see jagged edges on tiny images such as emotes but it is still a big improvement. This of course cant really be mitigated without the use of a 4k monitor. One more thing, its nice that this monitor turns itself on and off with your PC.

> 3 dayFPS, thats whats important. I always thought to myself, self I really want 4k graphics and Im okay locking my eyes away at 60fps, mediocre land is alright. Well then I kicked it into overdrive and bought this bad boy, because lets be real curiosity got me and my friends were like hey this is good. So I turned it on and it turned me on, to smooth framerates like I had never seen before. Destiny 2 (tm) plays so smooth and clean, rocket league (tm) also plays incredibl, understanding timing of things on screen and where to react and how, its all so important and awesome and I really enjoy my gaming experience now. At first I did miss the extra 2k I dropped to accommodate frame rate, but now Im set and not looking back. Seriously dont look back the screen sits in front of you.

Greater than one weekIts pretty nice, comparable to a TN panel in response times, colors are slightly washed too. Lots of IPS haze, no back light bleed though! Its barely an upgrade from my Pixio PX277.Leaves you with a meh kind of feeling.. The manufacturer commented the difference between this and the GN850 and he responded with only the stand is different. I would also like to ad that this is a NOT a nano IPS like the 850, and it DOES NOT SUPPORT HDR. Surprised Gsync works and is listed as compatible. Thinking about returning it.

> 3 day...for size and cost. Very clear and responds well for gaming and fine for general computing (I run it under a couple of different profiles on the monitor). Not a huge fan of the center button/joystick button for menu/config but it works fine. Just a personal preference. Stand very easy to assemble. Nice thin bezel so looks good. Will purchase a second one to replace the other monitor on this computer (I run 2 screens)

> 3 dayThis monitor does not have true HDR. If you read the fine print on their website and the manual, this has simulated HDR, not true HDR. Very noticeable when you compare it to a True HDR monitor.

> 3 daySo bought this LG monitor on September 10th. I was so happy as I just upgraded my computer to a 3060 graphics card i11 processor and was ready to upgrade my dell monitors to something bigger with higher definition. The monitor worked great for just under 4 months. I do use it a decent amount as I work from home and after work I play games (HALO, B4B, COD, etc) usually Monday thru Friday 8:30am till about 10pm at night. Past the return date, I had to contact LG directly since its under manufacture warranty still It took me 2 days to get a hold of someone as LG has reduced its staff due to COVID Once I got someone they didnt speak great English and told me they would send me a shipping label in 24-72 hours via email, after receiving the email I had to callback and find out how they want me to ship the computer. The sent me another email with instructions..... Overall I had to spend $51 to have FedEx package my monitor or else it wouldnt be insured on scratches etc and then I had to call once again to see how to get refunded for the packaging....... An email will be sent within 24-48 hours for you to upload the receipt and then itll take 4-6 weeks to get a refund, they didnt even ask how to refund the money back.... I would never buy a monitor from LG again unless it was through a retail store like COSTCO, customer service with them is terrible and not worth the hassle of saving a couple bucks
