Good Monitor
- price
- monitor interface
- beautiful picture
- software annoyances
For the price a very good monitor. IPS and no Oled no problem. There are some problems with the HDR and windows. LG should solve this with an update. In terms of pixel lottery I was able to exchange my first one at coolblue without any problems. I had 1 white pixel. Second monitor was perfect. Hence pixel lottery. All monitors of all brands suffer from it. just a very good monitor. the operation on the LG monitor can not compete with any other brand.

Solid and super sharp image
- Solid
- Super fast image
- Very sharp colours
- Heavy
Immediately upon unpacking this monitor it was noticeable how heavy the monitor is, the image quality is super sharp, super fast and very clear. While playing all the games I have it was a pleasure to use. I will definitely recommend this monitor to people who play games and who are really looking for a very fast refresh rate. The mocriterium of this monitor is child's play and is immediately where stock. Beautiful design is on a keeper

- Very nice picture
- Speed
- Easy to use
- Sound
This screen is highly recommended! The design is good. Everything you play is very sharp and games play quickly. If you often play games, this screen is really great. The refresh rate is very fast, which makes everything run very smoothly. I often had this problem with my old screens. The resolution also leaves nothing to be desired. Everything is crystal clear. In addition, the screen was set up within 5 minutes. So no time is lost! I can therefore recommend this screen to every gamer, or anyone who just wants a good screen! It takes your gaming experience to the next level.
