I didn’t keep this monitor because of its price. This would be a great monitor if it cost around $500-$600. I also didn’t like the bezels because they are thick, the monitor doest get too bright either, compare to my LG 32 UltraFine 4K. If you have a 32 inch monitor, this monitor will feel small for you. This is basically a 27 inch monitor slightly wider. You do lose a massive vertical real state. Its around 2 inches shorter. The 1ms is basically useless, since it introduces inverse ghosting and this is very distracting. This monitor lack of speakers. The monitor is very fast at 144hz everything feels buttery smooth, the stand feels really premium and sturdy. The software has tons of features and customizability, the crosshair is very useful. I like how organize are the settings on the monitor, and that I can adjust everything even the hue and saturation of each color, select multiple gama profiles, color profiles, etc.

I have been a Samsung screen fan for the last few years, up until recently. I purchase an LG OLED 4k TV last year, and earlier this year I purchased the LG UltraWide model that was equivalent to this model. That screen was cranked in an accident so I purchased this one to replace it. I felt I had to, because once you go UltraWide, you can't go back to 16;9. I do gaming in my free time, but I also did a lot of music production and video editing work. The UltraWide screens are amazing for these tasks. I have so much on my screen in my editing software, I hardly ever have to scroll or move Windows/Tool bars. I didn't think this monitor was going to be too much better then last year's mode I had, but I was really surprised that it improves on it quite a bit. The HDR effort of this model is done really well for HDR gaming. I am getting 160fps on competitive games like Ridley League, and it's super smooth looking. I have a RTX 2080ti gpu and the G-Sync works great with it. I wasn't happy with dishing out another $1000.00 for a monitor, but I discovered that it was gong to cost almost that amount to repair the last one where the screen was cracked. I love LG's screens in their higher end devices. They are rather fragile, as any screen tends to be, but if there was a flaw with their panels, I'd say they are a little too fragile. Outside of that, I absolutely love this monitor.

Coming from a Alienware 3418DW. Pros: - extremely low input lag/response time - HDR is nice - Gsync compatible (no screen tearing) - great refresh rate Cons: - doesn’t swivel - HDR 400 can sometimes blow out certain dim images if near a bright image (think of a mountain in front of a sunset) This is a neat perfect monitor. The only thing I can think that could’ve done differently that wouldn’t affect the price is the inclusion of a swivel base. Didn’t think I would want it, but it’s driving me crazy that the stand isn’t straight on my desk (nitpicking at best). A higher HDR certification and adding FALD zones or micro LEDS (for better HDR) would make the price higher, so I can’t knock it for that. In short; if you’re looking for a great ultrawide gaming monitor, I can highly recommend this one.
