> 3 dayGot this monitor along with a new PC build to get into 1440p 144mhz gaming. Works like a dream! Its really perfect for the price point. Very vivid, and zero issues out of the box. Which was my main concern. As youre probably seeing with reviews on every 1440p monitor around if youre trying to decide what to buy for 1440p gaming, the quality control seems terrible across the board. I have two friends who had to RMA both of their brand new 1440p monitors. The fact that I dont have any dead pixels, any visual issues, any flickering, any problems with text is a huge relief given the cost of these sorts of Monitors. Very happy for now, but will update this review it the monitor flakes out on me. As it stands, this is a beautiful 1440p monitor with fantastic performance. Would recommend.

> 3 dayI was looking for an affordable but good quality QHD monitor to replace my ancient 24” FHD monitor. The 32” size of this monitor is great. A 4K monitor at this size end s up with very small pixels so QHD seemed like a better choice. The style of this monitor seemed good. My only hesitation was that they didn’t include the power supply inside the monitor; it has an external power brick that I will probably lose at some point, making this monitor useless. Message to monitor manufacturers: no power bricks! Use the standard AC power input connector. There are very few perks with this monitor: no USB for peripherals, no cool LED lights behind the screen, limited inputs, no split screen. I could talk about the color and brightness, but there is no point. The one huge glaring fault with this monitor makes calibrating or even trying to adjust the picture moot. The viewing angle at the edges is so large at the distance I sit, that the color gets washed out at the edges. No amount of calibrating or adjusting can fix this. They should have made this a curved screen if they wanted to use such a cheap lcd. With all that said, my son uses it for school and games, and he has no complaints so I guess we will keep it.

> 3 dayIts a well made 1440p 144hz monitor that doesnt break the bank and only has one downside, and thats how dim the monitor is. Its not unbearable by any means, but it could stand to be brighter.

25-09-2024If you missed buying this during prime day (Under 300$ for me) you missed out big. 32/144hz/1440p/freesync/VA is a great find for someone using a AMD GPU, but this also works with Nvidias Gsync if you have one of those GPUs. This was perfect for me the look is what you would expect from a gaming monitor in this era as well as all the features one would expect. Blacks are pretty good with this, Ive read about a little less accurate in colors, but honestly unless you are a professional calibrater you probably wont notice it. With that the menu is excellent to work with, and you can download/install software to allow for correction from your desktop, this allows for personalized calibration with ease. If you can find this below 375$ I would strongly consider it, excellent buy for midrange, probably the best you can buy at this level

28-09-2024Great response time and generally a great purchase for the money. Unfortunately, it does not handle dark areas in movies or TV shows very well (even with the “black stability” settings). The transition from light to dark is blocky and not smooth at all. Apparently this is a known issue with these types of low response time monitors that I had missed during my research, but I hadn’t seen anything about it until I saw the issue first hand.

> 3 dayI actually bought this to replace a first gen 4K monitor (Acer XB280HK) I wanted a faster refresh rate and a larger screen to pair with an new AMD build. This is perfect. I get the a bigger screen from the old 27 inch with the same footprint thanks to the smaller bezels. And the build quality is solid. Using FreeSync I get no screen tears and the 144hz refresh rate is noticeable and unbelievably smooth. Going from a TN panel to VA is also nice as the blacks and colors just pop. With little to no LED edge bleed. If you can get this for 300 bucks, I say run dont walk to buy. Although, I would have paid full retail and been happy...sort of.

27-09-2024Product came looking undamaged from the box. Once we connected it the colors seemed off and not brilliant and clear. It had like a haze that we kept trying to tune it for better sharpness and color. Always seemed weak,but not a valid reason we thought to return it,since that was subjective. We thought it had failed. Colors were weak and faded out. No crispness a tall,even with adjustments. Terrible for gaming. We were going to send it back,but didnt.LG was ready to let us to be fair ,but, we use it outdoors at night now instead. Its good enough for that. I love LG products and wont diss the whole company over one weak egg. We replaced the computer monitor with an upgraded model primarily for high end gaming. All in all I would not buy this for gaming.

> 3 dayI didnt know i need this size until i got it. It is freaking massive compared to my old 22 monitor. Loved it right off the bat. The colors are nice after some adjustments. Great value for the price. The speaker is basically non existent and that is the only reason I am giving this monitor a 4 star review.

> 3 dayItem arrived on time and was as advertised. Surprisingly nothing was damaged in shipment. Picture quality is better than what I had, but not as good as I was hoping for. This is a mid range monitor - not bad, but not great.
