Incredible

I have been using this monitor for a few weeks now and love it. The screen real estate is plentiful. The colors appear accurate. The brightness is sufficient. I bought this model over others as you can have multiple inputs and change between them so I can run my laptop and desktop on the same monitor. Changing between the inputs could be easier but it is not that difficult. One thing I wish were possible is to have 2 inputs at one time but this is not possible even with the OSD software.

Wonderful quality for the price

Purchased a little over a month ago. This is a quality monitor with great color fidelity, and I love the white back options to match my office decor.

2 years old now and Flawless

Like many others i transitioned to full virtual work for Covid. 10 hours a day on average and not a single hiccup. Perfect size and resolution for me.

great especially when there's 2.

The quality is remarkable, whether it's being used for gaming or working. Especially with a dual monitor setup. The only problem was with LG customer services. One of my monitors shows no damage at all on it but when turned on you can see the actual interior screen is damaged. I've been trying to talk to LG customer service to figure out what my best options is.

Has limitations on connectivity

Tried working with LG directly but these monitors DO NOT work with adapters, such as mini-port to HDMI. I did manage to get it to function through my switch box for one computer after connecting the HDMI cable directly for "plug n play" and then connecting it through the switchbox. Not so much luck with my computer that only has the mini port. I had to buy a new cable and now have to not only switch the KVM but also the monitor input on the back of the monitor. I've known much cheaper monitors to function more accurately with adapters and third party cables. Picture quality is great. Cannot fault that or the adjustment options. Just extremely disappointed with the cables issue.

It works

Everything works great. I do wish it were a bit quicker to change input sources and settings. Using the flimsy feeling button on the back is a bit of a pain in the butt at times.

Beyond what I had hoped for

I bought this monitor to use with my new display card using a Display Port cable. I use it for CAD , Games , Video and general Computing. It has worked without any problems. It is a cost effective solution when considering a 4K monitor. The image is perfect and clear with no lag or shadow regardless of what it is showing. It is my window to the world ! The only hiccup I had was trying to figure out how to remove the base in order to use the VESA mount on the back.

Nice viewing size

Purchased this monitor to go with 2 27” monitors for a three display setup, overall happy with monitor. Kk it or will randomly lose display for a moment or two but this may be due to my display cable, I haven’t tested that theory out. Games look great and run at proper resolution. Happy with price I paid and the ending result.

Great product, Great price

I bought two of these from a leading online retailer. One came with some dead pixels, but the exchange was no hassle and its replacement has been great. I got them for doing a LOT of work with spreadsheets and needed the real estate to keep my already bad eyes from getting worse. With my old 22" monitors, I'd have a headache by the end of the day, but with these, it's just the work that causes the headaches! I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

Once you go 32", you'll never go back!

I have been using this monitor for about 5 months and love it! I use it for normal productivity such as web browsing, emails, Word documents, Excel sheets, and Netflix. I love the minimal and space saving stand. The thinness of this monitor is amazing; a true beauty. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because from where I sit (about 1.5 feet from the monitor) sometimes text can be ever so slightly blurry. This would be fixed if you go up a resolution to 4K. But to save money and have this large of a screen - I am very happy.

A great monitor, but poor customer service

I really like this monitor...it seemed too big at first, but I got used to it and really like the size. Great picture. I used it to watch movies/shows as well. It did develp a little blue line through it and I had to send it in to customer service. That process was long, slow, and almost unbearable. They were difficult to work with and get things done.

Great Monitor for the price!

Colors are vivid, bright and crisp. Although monitor is advertised to work with Radeon cards, it works flawlessly with my Nvidia RTX2080 VSYNC computer. I had no issues setting it up right out the box (be sure to have the latest nvidia drivers installed). I highly recommend it!

It's big and bright

I looked at a lot of monitor before buying this LG. I have has LG tvs but this is my first LG monitor. So far I love it, the only thing I don't like is that joy stick control on the back but you only need to use it once to get it set up.
