    Great picture, built-in speakers and great price! You can't go wrong!

    I replaced a similarly sized 1080P (2K) monitor with an LG 4K monitor to display multiple security NVRs selected by the 4K HDMI switch. The display was better than 1080P, but not in the vast majority of cases. This somewhat disappointing upgrade from 2K to 4K will be the same for any new 4K monitor, so expecting just a miraculous upgrade in video from 2K to 4K is no blow to LG. I felt the same when I switched from a 65-inch 1080P to a 65-inch 4K OLED TV. Basically, put each monitor in a…

    Very clear and bright

    This monitor is so cool. I think this is my first written review. I bought a 27 inch curved monitor from Samsung. I got it because this monitor went on sale at the start of the Prime Day Sale. I saw him and grabbed him. I'm so glad I did. This monitor has such a perfect picture. I just love looking at the photos of my family on it. Or visit different vacation spots. The sea and the rivers are my love. There are so many things I can enjoy with this monitor that I have never tried before. Guys…

    I bought this monitor mainly for productivity and also for some console gaming. On a 22-inch 1080p monitor, this thing looks massive and incredibly sharp. I would recommend using a scaling of 125%, which I think is a good balance between having more space and showing text at a reasonable size. The monitor definitely needs some calibration to look good. I used the following settings from a review on rtings.com: Picture Mode Custom Brightness 99nits Brightness Settings 18 Contrast Settings 68 RGB

    Great inexpensive monitor.

    Only received today, but first impressions are very good. I've used this with a 2020 Mac Pro and it looks like a great budget monitor option. The screen has quite a bit of glare, which is the only downside I've seen so far. I have paired it with a VIVO desk mount which I am also happy with. I read some other reviews about this monitor not being VESA compliant but my plate fits perfectly - no problem. I read another review about using Display Port instead of HDMI, which I did and the performance

    • Bad contrast

    I've been working on a 5K 27" iMac since 2014, and when Apple didn't release an updated 27" iMac last year, I was disappointed because my 2014 was no longer good enough. When MacStudio came out, I jumped on board and realized I had to buy a monitor. After months of researching features versus price, I decided to pull the trigger on this monitor on the best days. First, it's a BIG thing. At first, using the 27-inch screen annoyed me a bit. I like him now. It's very bright, colors are saturated…

    Excellent built-in speakers with surprisingly amazing bass

    I replaced my old Full HD (1080p) TV in the bedroom with this monitor. The monitor sits a meter from the edge of the bed. I have a computer hooked up and cable TV. I bought a Vizio soundbar to use there but I rarely use it because the monitor sound is so good! The picture is also very good. The only downside is the viewing angle, not as wide as a TV, but again it's a monitor, not a TV.

    Overall a great monitor for most needs

    This monitor is great for its price. I was looking for a budget 4K monitor and think I found it. Here are my pros and cons: PRO: - inexpensive - 4K - high pixel density - good viewing angles - easy setup - easy control - good brightness - looks clean and modern - good quality CONS: - 60Hz refresh rate - can be tricky to plug in in On state - very low contrast when using the display port - the built-in speakers are terrible for music and podcasts, maybe good for video conferencing - the stand is

With a wider screen and higher resolution, I have more canvas for my work and writing without having to "blend" two monitors side by side. Install the included software on the drive as initially I was able to set up the full resolution and features of Windows 10.

    So far so good in my review.

    I'm not a gamer or filmmaker. I use this model as a student for productivity and entertainment. I chose this model as soon as I realized I was still missing quality USB-C monitors that would be the best option to use with my laptop. However, this is a good $300 budget 4k 32-inch monitor that I was able to easily mount on a handheld mount. I miss the USB-A ports on the back because it would be nice to put a monitor backlight there so there's less cable draping, but alas. This is what you get…

    Great monitor in my review.

    Mixed use for office, web surfing, watching videos and casual gaming. I'm really pleasantly surprised at how well this monitor works. I used to use a 43" tv, the picture quality was good but it was too big to sit in front and I was a little apprehensive about going back to a 32" tv and sticking with 4k resolution , after I had a 32-inch QHD screen. I've read a lot about how 4K resolution isn't optimal for Windows with a 32" screen, but I'm really happy.

    Great monitor with great value

    I bought this to replace my 27" so I can work on two monitors at the same time with one monitor while working on multiple documents, multiple websites, etc. Given my age and eyesight, I figured it would be better to have one great brand to try 32" monitor. I've always liked LG. I'm glad you like it. Big size, excellent brightness, excellent colors.

    Ideal for office work and CAD drawings

    Pros: 4K resolution Cost Cons: Brightness is lower compared to IPS panels. I've been using this device for a few hours now and I'm comparing it to the same size LG but with an HD IPS panel. I bought this device because my wife needed another device and I needed a 4K resolution to fit my computer (laptop) screen. This helps with multiple work programs that require all displays to be the same resolution. So far, right off the bat I can tell that you lose some brightness and the default colors are

    Good overall, but there were a few issues with the LCD panel

    Overall a nice monitor. I liked the joystick controller for the OSD. But the big downside was the quality of the LCD panel used (the actual part of the screen). When I make the screen gray I may see some dead pixel areas. Even on a gray or white screen, you can easily see vertical bands of light and dark areas on the screen. It's just that the board isn't very good. Along with this monitor I bought a Philips 34 monitor. For comparison, it had no dead pixels (which I could see) and no light and…

    It's ok for my M1 Mac Mini, but I think I'll take a look at Samsung next time. I had a bad experience with my cousin's LG TV which looked gray/blue, depressing and weird anti-aliasing issues. There are no aliasing issues on this monitor, but I don't game either. This monitor also has a gray-blue color cast, but not as bad as the TV, and I've tuned and calibrated it better. I'm used to Samsung or Visio. Maybe I'm just more used to these brands, which makes LG seem like the weakest link. This is…

    I was looking for a monitor for work. It is great for coding, web browsing, email, spreadsheet, Word and PDF documents and so on. My Dell laptop screen is 1080p. When I drag a full screen application from my laptop onto my monitor, it only occupies 1/4 of the monitor screen and I can read what's on the screen. Both screens are set to 125% text size.

    Works well for Macbook, just needs some tweaking.

    I used this monitor with my MacBook Pro 2018 and increased the workspace available. I was using a DisplayPort connection which should have given me enough bandwidth. But initially it couldn't look right, dark colors were very washed out and almost every monitor setting was turned off. However, I managed to figure out how to get it to work properly on a Mac. So if you have similar problem, you can try this. If you go to the display settings on the Mac, you need to disable "High Dynamic Range"…

    I like it but the photo is not +

    I like the monitor for its size and sharpness, the price is reasonable. Disadvantages: - The image is very oversaturated, the colors are not reproduced accurately. This isn't always a problem, but it is for some tasks. - Automatic input selection doesn't work at all. - The small button/joystick is a bit annoying. I can't imagine the cost going up that much just to separate the buttons. - Power on delay (waking up from sleep mode) is more than ideal. No problem, just a little annoying.

    The lowest brightness is still bright

    The minimum brightness is still significantly brighter than my iPhone 7 Plus's lowest brightness and brighter than my laptop's screen at its lowest brightness. I bought this monitor because a VA panel has a higher contrast than an IPS panel at a similar brightness. I don't like bright screens and find them extra strain on my eyes. There is a software solution for this, but it would be nice if this extra step was not required. (Software called Dimmer) Otherwise this is a great giant monitor and…
