Great monitor, but constant shutdown issues

I bought this as an open-box deal and honestly felt like I was getting a steal at first. For the price, the performance was amazing. The screen quality is fantastic, the features are excellent, and the size is perfect for both gaming and streaming. I used it heavily with my NVIDIA Shield and my PC, and the curved ultrawide design always looked natural — nothing ever felt distorted or out of place.
However, the biggest problem (and the reason for my low rating) is the monitor randomly shutting off. I tried everything to fix it. First I thought it was the cable connection, so I replaced every cord. It worked for a bit, then the shutoffs came back. Next, I assumed it was the power supply. I bought another one, and again it worked… until the same issue returned.
So while the monitor looks great and performs well when it’s working, the reliability isn’t there. The constant power shutoffs make it frustrating to use. It’s a great monitor held back by persistent technical problems, and that keeps me from fully recommending it.

This monitor is absolutely amazing. I wasn't sure if I would like how aggressive the curve was, but after a few weeks I love it and I'd never go back!

Impressed so far. I use this in place of 3 monitors for work. The clarity is great. Little pricy, even on holiday sales, but I am enjoying using it for both work and play. No issues or problems to date.

The monitor was very immersive from a desk top depth of ~35 inches. The mode change works consistently and as was simple for my PC to adjust to for resolution and refresh rate. The multiple resolutions and aspect ratios this permits makes this a excellent value. The 27" 330Hz mode was great and in my opinion, the curve did not negatively impact the experience at that size in comparison to a flat panel. The only negative I notice was the difference in smoothness vs a 4k 240Hz monitor. To be fair, I have not yet experienced one at this size 45 in size though. ~C.O.R.A.

Some flickering issues. Caused by drivers and also LG’s part. If I’m paying 2K for a monitor, it should at least come with display part 2.1 without compression
So close but just not enough to justify the price!

This is not worth the price of admission. The display has strong edge vignetting and auto dimming if you have cont and the text should be much clearer given the PPI but it isn't even close. The kicker being the semi-matte display on top of all those issues - this was disappointing. The resolution and hertz switching is quite pointless at this size of a display and it makes text and graphics that much worse. Even in gaming you can see a considerable amount of degradation. You would be better off getting a separate high refresh rate monitor plus another high resolution monitor and you would likely spend less at the end of the day.
Hoping LG continues to innovate in this space cause the size and resolution are sorely needed and this was really close to being perfect. But pricing is out of whack just cause they were first to market with a niche product and the feature set they tried to include felt more like they were throwing everything at the wall.
I need LG to work up from their 42" OLED TVs and give us an ultra wide version of that!

Fantastic screen clarity and color vibrance. Dual refresh rate is very helpful for wanting extra smooth framerates on tougher games to run.
