Great monitor for the average user!
I use this as a side panel when I am at work, gaming, and everything in between. Settings are modifiable and complements my whole set up. Tabs can be spilt up as many as you would like and can deal with!

bad ips bleeding per usual!
I tried 2 LG monitors and Asus, all the same issues with excessive light bleeding! Trash manufacturing practices lead to this! Stop being cheap and cutting corners! You already overcharged too much! The pandemic is over! Bring prices down and quality back up scrooges! The slightly curved monitor is overrated I don't notice any difference to a normal one.

First one got a dead pixel really fast, replaced it with a brand new one and the same thing happened. Nice monitor but burns out way too fast.
