Excellent choice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m really pleased with this monitor, as it was highly reviewed and recommended. It has a great display, look and plenty of setup options. As with most of these monitors, it will not have as powerful HDR as your higher level OLED’s. I highly recommend for any pc or gaming console. I’m currently using this with my PS5.

Terrible Malfunctioning Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1. Random black screen for 3 seconds with Freesync OR Gsync on. Multiple people have reported this (the poll on Overclockers.uk currently has 9 people saying they have this issue and 2 saying they don't). Imagine gaming and then for 3s you black screen. That can cost you a match or a long raid and multiple people's time. 2. Hardware calibration still useless without spectral profiles. 3. DSR doesn't work with 160hz mode and LG rep said they don't care to fix it. 4. IPS glow is quite intense. It's bad enough such that I notice it on my Windows 10 task bar. This is a 900 monitor! I expect stellar performance and at the very least for the monitor to FUNCTION CORRECTLY.

Bad IPS glow + Backlight bleed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picture and colors are excellent, but the IPS glow seems to be extreme. The unit I received had very noticeable glow in one corner that could be seen even in regular use. It also had a significant amount of actual backlight bleed in all 4 corners. This is disappointing, because the build quality overall seems very good. The stand and screen are solid and well built, but the quality control of the actual panel display seems very poor. Unless I just got extremely unlucky with my unit.

Great 4k monitor

It’s beautiful!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using this for my Xbox Series X, PS 5 and as a second monitor for my work from home days. Picture quality is top notch. I guess only complaint would be no speakers which doesn’t matter to me since I use gaming headphones. This is easily one of the best gaming monitors on the market that has HDMI 2.1 and checks all the boxes for what the Xbox and PS can put out. Grab it if you can!

3 repair requests later and disappointed.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decided to buy 2 of these so I could have matching monitors. Worked For 44 days and then something died in Monitor 1 and the screen would turn on. As It was impossible to find in store at the time I decided to ship it in for repairs rather then return or exchange it. A month later I got my monitor back and it was great for another 5 months. After 5 months the fan in Monitor 1 started to rattle so loud you could hear it from across the room while wearing noise cancelling headphones . Shipped it in for repairs and another month later I received it back with the fan still screaming like a banshee. Rather then waste another month of my time I spent 35 bucks and 10 minutes of my time to fix it myself. Fast forward another 5 months and now the power brick from monitor 2 is dead. 100% sure the issue is the power brick as I was able to swap bricks with my other monitor. Contacted support and they want me to ship my monitor across the country again so they can determine what the issue is under warranty. Other option they suggested was to take it to a repair center so they can charge me to tell me the brick is dead and then charge me another $100 for a new power brick. Wish I had returned both of them when the first issue occurred.

Excellent Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is overall one of the best monitors in this price range. A definite keeper, but with at least one weakness. And that is backlight bleed. Happily, it's really not noticeable except for when displaying a black screen. It also doesn't swivel, which isn't terrible, but would have been nice. This monitor is paired with an Nvidia RTX 3090 and it works great.

Great Display
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly as advertised with the general IPS downfalls. Great color accuracy but you do get backlight bleed, especially in hdr. I’m not gonna knock points off for this since you are going to get this with any IPS display. The 4k 120 FPS is amazing. Totally overkill for Warzone to be played at 4k, but it’s awesome. Overall, great quality and great product, just know that you’re going to get those standard IPS issues.

Well worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this monitor in November to pair with my Nvidia 4080. The screen is beautifil. Colors pop. Modern Warfare2/DMZ looks amazing. League of Legends, Destiny2, and assorted other games dont stress tge refresh at all. Getting it on sale for $750 for Black Friday only made it an even better buy.

Amazing and beautiful!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An absolutely amazing monitor! Feels like I am watching movies with the quality you get. I never wanted to play games before with the monitor I had. As soon as I started up a game with this monitor, I wanted to buy more and more games. Wanted to keep playing for hours. Love this monitor!! The lights on the back just enhances the whole experience. A must have for gamers!

Nothing special
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LG GP950 - I was expecting a quality product for this price but this monitor doesnt impress. The picture quality isn't all that great and this monitor has a random flickering issue where it will flicker black for a second then come back. After researching this issue it is common woth this monitor. LG recommended sending it in for repair however reading reviews from others who sent their monitor in for repairs this issue was never resolved. There are some nice features with this monitor such as the amount of adjustability it has for height and tilt options. I would not recommend this product and talking with LG technical support made me question my choice to go with LG.

Great Monitor!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this monitor for a month now and I am very happy with it. I use it mostly for work tasks and text is sharp and clear and displays much more than the 24" 1080p monitors I also use. The Monitor has an amazing picture and the few games I play have looked great and fast paced games are really smooth, I've also watched some 4k movies on it and the picture looks great. No dead/stuck pixels either.

Amazing gaming display
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Running 4k 120 on both PS5 and Xbox Series X makes this one of the best gaming monitors for these new gen consoles. Also have it paired with a 5950x 3090 gaming PC and this monitor just delivers. Only problem with my unit is a little excessive back light bleed in one corner. Its kind of borderline should I return it and try for a better panel but its been hard enough to get this one.
