Q: Questionhow many hdmi 2.1 this monitor have?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThis monitor has 2- HDMI 2.1 inputs. ^DaphaneAnswered by LG Digital Customer Care
- A: AnswerLG is clearly trying to pull something, they say it's Best Buy pulling our leg, but LG has the monitor listed as "Sold Out" as well on their site, BB is just playing follow the leader here. The monitor on LG's site was also listed, then delisted, and relisted first before BB had theirs up, so it's impossible that BB is at fault here. LG said this monitor was coming out in April, and I assumed the worst as in Late April. LG still hasn't even given us a release date now that it's May, despite them saying it's very close to coming out.

Install the monitor at least 100 mm (3.94 inches) away from the wall and leave about 100 mm (3.94 inches) of space at each side of the monitor to ensure sufficient ventilation. Detailed installation instructions can be obtained from the manual (page 14) for how to install and set up a tilting wall mounting bracket. The wall mount bracket size is 100mm x 100mm. The LG Monitor Wall Mount Bracket MEC61904928 would be the perfect match for the wall mount. ^DaneeAnswered by LG Digital Customer Care

Makes the PS5 come to life!
I do not really write a lot of reviews. Let me first start off with what people want to know If you are a PlayStation 5 owner. First off: This monitor is true in its product relevancy. It does deliver 4K@120Hz but that is dependent on a few factors. The game/application must support 120hz. The game/application must be set on performance mode under the Saved Data and Game/App Settings then go to Game Presets and select Performance mode or Resolutions mode and you select Performance mode to unlock 120Hz. Check the picture for reference. Secondly if you are playing a game like Call of Duty Cold War or Fortnite it will let you know that you are using 120Hz. On Fortnite you’ll have to manually enabled it. For Cold War it actually automatically sets it for you but it disables Ray Tracing. On the PlayStation menu screen/home operating system the video information will read as 4K - 60Hz Do not worry about that since that’s just the standard for the PS home layout view settings. But make sure that the RGB is set as RGB (HDR) that will activate HDR fully in the PS home layout. To do this go to HDR on the Video Output Menu on the PS5 Screen and Video. Turn off HDR and wait for a few seconds the screen on the LG will turn black and then turn the HDR back on and it should now say RGB (HDR) When playing the applications or games that support 120Hz usually the Color format will change from RGB to YUV422 (HDR) but you’ll see the 4K@120Hz shown in the picture. Keep in mind that this monitor does have the HandShake problem. It takes quite a few seconds for the signal to change in between from SDR and HDR. Possibility there will be an update for that in the future from LG. Also the VRR is still fairly new for the PS5 so that might come out in a future software update. I do notice smooth gameplay and fluid motions. The gaming monitor does heat up but the fan is pretty quiet. I haven’t heard it get loud at all. You can also check out the monitors internal software for true signal information. You can see that I’m running at 120Hz 4K. I am not a PC gamer so I can’t really say how this monitor works for that genre of gaming. Other than that this monitor is also good watching movies and TV shows. Looks great on Anime that support HDR. I hope this review will help out fellow PlayStation 5 owners.
