Outstanding Screen Clarity and External Aesthetics

This is a beautiful monitor to pair with a Mac Mini M2, both in external aesthetics and screen clarity. The USBC makes this bright and clear monitor such a breeze to connect and use with little to no adjustments with color etc. Text is very sharp as well. It's beautiful out of the box. Out of the box set up time was extremely Easy, almost too Easy for a geek like me that likes to tinker.

Why no Remote

Purchased so new computer could project optimum screen images. Challenge is How do I access SETTINGS of LG monitor?

Great Quality at a Great Price

I've had this screen for a few weeks and it is simply outstanding. It was pretty much ready to go out of the box and it looks amazing. I a MacBook Pro that I have docked to the screen and the colors look just a great as they do on my Mac.

Good, but not a viable USB port

Good color, but the USB/USB-C ports on the back don't usually work for some reason.

A great productivity monitor

I bought this monitor a week ago and it?s absolutely beautiful, great colors, multiple movements, and also a fast USB-C charging while monitoring. The brightness is good and it can be adjusted easily. The speakers are fine and it has a good sound quality, might consider getting external speakers for best audio.

crap

It is a nice bright monitor on occasion. Problem is it dims the screen to half brightness without warning and the only way to get full brightness back is by shutting the monitor off and rebooting it. Considering turning it back in as junk. Will try using a different cable for the signal to see if that fixes it. Not very hopeful.

Wonder monitor

I have really enjoyed the monitor. It is really nice. Surprised with a color blind profile. That is sweet.

Easy on the eyes

This is my main office monitor. The usb-c connection is really handy and it is difficult to imagine going back to a monitor that doesn?t have one now.
