It’s ok but not great for oled
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wasn’t very impressed with the colors or brightness of the screen. If you get the brightness to a reasonable level then it washes out the colors. Ended up returning it due to these issues. The stand is nice and the pad is easy to use, just a shame about the panel.

Absolutely gorgeous display!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The LG - UltraGear 27" OLED QHD 480Hz 0.03ms NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD Freesync Premium Pro Gaming Monitor is an absolutely gorgeous display! Vibrant colors, fast as you want to go refresh rates, and the blackest blacks with zero light bleed I've ever seen. The monitor came very well packaged with zero issues. Setup was super easy... attach base to stand then display to stand in 2 easy steps. The quality of this monitor is top-notch as far as I can tell. The base is a very heavy all metal design and quite this compared to a lot of monitors I've owned. Very very solid! The stand attaches to the base very solid and attaches via a toolless screw in the base. The display then pops right on and snaps in place. Done! The monitor comes with a brick style power adapter instead of putting the power inside the monitor. It also comes with all the cables you might need to hook up the monitor to your PC. A highspeed HDMI cable, a Display Port cable, and USB 3 input cable for connecting the monitor to the PC are included. The stand offers all the adjustment you'll need... up and down, pivot side to side, and rotate vertical or horizontal. The controls on the monitor are accessed by a single joystick style button on the bottom center of the monitor. The controls are easy to navigate and allow you to adjust all the various settings of the display along with quick access to Game Mode presets. The monitor also has a 4-pole headphone jack that supports spatial sound and microphone input. Games in this monitor are truly stunning! So crisp and dynamic with silky smooth refresh rates and beautiful colors with the blackest blacks. Definitely the best display I've ever had the pleasure of gaming on! A true joy to the eyes! With it's support for HDR movies look equally as stunning! The monitor carries a premium price, but I believe it is worth the investment. The 480 Hz refresh rate guarantee being able to take advantage of the fastest graphics cards going forward. It's support of both G-Sync and FreeSync opens up options for trying AMD and Nvidia cards if one wants to check-out the competition without having to but an additional monitor! I really can't find anything that I don't love about this display. I don't think I would be able to find anything finer than this display for QHD resolutions in the 27 inch size. The 2 Year warranty is a nice bonus. Excellent job LG! I would definitely recommend this monitor to a friend! Catch it on a sale even better :)

Fantastic Monitor!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've daily-driven a total of 4 monitors before I got this one. This is by far the best. Alongside this monitor, I currently use two other non-OLED monitors, with one of them being 1440p as well. The color accuracy and contrast on this monitor is in another league altogether. This is without getting into any other features, which I will highlight below. Here are some of the features that stood out to me: 1. This monitor can do 480 Hz at 1440p. That's insane and allows for a smooth gaming experience, although you would need a pretty beefy GPU to keep up. 2. The stand on this is quite sturdy. When I shake my desk (again, I have three monitors), this monitor moves the least. The other two monitors I have start shaking even if I'm just typing a bit aggressively. 3. There are just so many other smaller features. Some of these features include game mode, OLED screen saver (which turns off the screen automatically when it detects inactivity), and OLED image cleaning (which happens daily when I turn my monitor off). I do have two suggestions for future iterations of this product: 1. At this price, I'd like to see G-SYNC Premium as well, not just G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium. 2. This might be a smaller problem, but it would be great if this monitor had a less beefy power adapter. I'd rather have a slightly thicker monitor with no adapter than vice-versa. Overall, this is a great monitor for anyone looking for a 1440p, high-refresh-rate monitor.

An OLED should always be your first choice
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Goodness gracious, I've had plenty of monitors in my life. But an OLED with this kind of refresh rate and colors is simply amazing. The blacks are pitch black. I highly recommend using the included display port cable and downloading the software to fine tune the monitor. If you never owned an OLED before the colors will eventually settle to their maximum potential after a couple of hours.

Super Thin, Great Visual
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the box is the base, the stand, a DisplayPort 2.1 cable, HDMI cable, USB A to B cable, power cord (with transformer), and information pamphlets. First Impression - The monitor is sleek (compared to another monitor in the house - it is half the thickness) with a super thin embezzle and the stand is also very slim and also has multi-tilt options (6 axis). There are different ports (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB Upstream, USB Downstream and a Headphone Jack). I would first like to say that make sure your graphics card is up to date and you may need to adjust the settings when you first plug in the monitor. There is an app you can download if you prefer to change your settings through an app as opposed to on the monitor settings button. The settings button on the monitor is self explanatory and it is good that you have an option. The app itself is really simple and you just click on what setting you want to adjust and adjust it. The monitor comes with its own cords and per the guide, it is highly recommended to use the provided cords. I would like to note that the cord (for the power/transformer) is the same length on both sides, so if you use a rising desk, it maybe difficult to go past a certain distance without the transformer lifting from the ground. So far, the visuals are really good. I normally don’t use a monitor, instead I use my laptop screen due to better visuals but this monitor is definitely just as good and better. I mainly play an MMO,RPG game and I immediately noticed a difference. The images in the game were sharper and the colors brighter. When the game would switch from day to night, there is a different in the brightness of the colors as well. So far, I have no cons for this monitor as it works well, and I have only had one or two instances where the visual was a little distorted but it immediately cleared up. Overall, I am really happy with this product and I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Sad day for me
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As much as i loved this monitor when it worked. It was amazing and colors pop and speed was unmatched, but it severely suffered from black screens and flickers esp when switching from freesync and hdr on and off. Sometimes the screen will go black and never come back on and you can still hear the sound in background. I tried it 2 times as i exchamged the first one thinking it was faulty but sad to say i think it was a software issue maybe idk. Im sad i had to return
