Nice display but a firmware bug blocks me to switch to DP input after 4 years of use. Several settings or hard reset done but it doens't change anything and support can't help. I do not recommend this product because of my expérience with it. It made me switch of brand for my new monitor

I've had these monitors for over a month now and I am happy with them for the price I paid while on sale. The colors are pretty good, I can't really complain and the refresh is nice. I wish the blacks were darker but that's the way it goes with this type of panel. I needed all the I/O on the back of these monitors so that was a huge bonus! Wouldn't be able to use my setup without that feature. 1 gripe is that the "fastest" mode makes everything look super ghosty and will basically never be used. So the rates advertised aren't really true. But still performance on fast mode looks great so buy on sale.

Have had this monitor for a week and it's pretty good. My biggest complaint is that the monitor stand takes up a lot of room, so I recommend getting a monitor arm

Super happy with my Ultragear monitor. The colour is amazing, and the refresh rate is far better than my previous Asus gaming monitor. (Even though the Asus claims to be 1ms gtg as well)

Bad quality. A lot of lightning in the corners when turning up brightness. No freesync/vrr on hdmi. Only dp No specs on which hdmi port this monitor has, it's fake

I bought this monitor and within 10 minutes I was up and running. The monitor itself is a great deal for its specs.

Had unit for about a year, and have had no issues. Its' resolution is ~ 2K, which is fine for almost everything....though not all. I've considered a 4K unit but, at least in the reliable LG line, such means a 60 Hz refresh rate (if you're a gamer....I'm not....this would be an impediment). Yup, 4K requires pushing a lot of pixels out in rapid order so you'd also have to purchase a good (costly) graphics card.....I've a 3070ti but ramping to 4K drops the refresh rate to 60Hz whereas at 2K on my current monitor it's cranking 144. The 4K LGs do have a 500 nits brightness, more than the 350 that the GL850 has, but in a less than bright room 350 is fine. It would be nice to have a USB C option or modest speakers, but......

Have used this monitor for a few weeks now. It is not the best monitor out there, but it very well may be the best monitor for the price. It does everything I need it to do.

Serves its purpose well. Arrived fully functional with no dead/stuck pixels, colors look great, way better than my old TN panel.

Bought the monitor in late December after seeing good reviews from LG for what I assumed would be a new monitor. I received a used monitor. Bags were already open in the box, there was no protective peels on the monitor, it already had 28 hours logged on it, and it had a return shipping label in it from the previous owner. Called LG support 4 times at this point and they kept telling me they will send out a new one in exchange. I still have not received a new monitor, nor the new invoice. The monitor seems OK, but probably just going to return it and cancel my pre-order for the 27" OLED because of the poor support.

I upgraded from a 1080p 165hz 5ms panel and this is leagues better. Works great with my set up, I?m thinking of getting 2 more for a triple monitor setup.

Still has a bug where it will disconnect when the computer turns off monitors. LG doesn?t care and refuses to fix despite complaints.

I've had the monitor for about a month and have had no issues to date. The picture looks very good and it has a very nice design. It is also very simple to use. The most I've done is tweak some settings to my liking.

This monitor has very good contrast and responsiveness for an IPS monitor, to the point that I thought Discord had changed their signature gray to a darker color. The biggest drawback is minor, which is that no 2 monitors of this model seem to have the same firmware or even exact hardware version, and none of the tools LG has published for updating the firmware of the monitors over the included USB 3.0 Type A to B cable worked for me on Windows 10. This has led to difficulty syncing up the color settings between my two monitors, and one of them insists on playing a beep during boot that I have tried everything to turn off.

I have only had the monitor for about 2 weeks now but can say it is the best one I have had so far. Clear picture and runs very smoothly with G-SYNC.

This monitor is at the top of many lists for a reason. The only minor gripe is that it doesn?t swivel when on the base.

Untill now i loved the monitor for gaming along with a 3070 but when i'm comparing It to my phone which has more pixels in it than it's a shame that my phone looks 5x better and even the hdr on my phone is doing a way better job so in that way thumbs down on the monitor

The picture quality is absolutely stunning! My games are running smoothly and most of all the colors are perfect for my digital art. Theres definitely a noticeable difference between my old monitor, my cintiq screen, and this monitor. If I had extra desk space, I would buy a second one. Definitely money well spent.

I bought this monitor about a month ago for gaming. It doesn't miss a beat in latency. One of the OLED monitors I own. Image is crisp and great colors and absolutely no issues with burn in so far. Great for submersive gameplay.

I researched more than I should of for buying a decent gaming monitor. This was the 3rd monitor I purchased in trying to beat the IPS lottery. The other two (which were not LG) suffered from poor quality control in their manufacture process and either had too much black light bleed or ended up getting a dead pixel within a short time. There may be better frame rates and bells and whistles on other monitors for this price but LG proved to have the best quality control for me. If you are worried about beating the IPS lottery I'd say LG is a safe bet compared to other brands. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.
