Review on 🖥️ LG Electronics 43UD79-B LED Lit Monitor - 42.5", 3840X2160P, Six Axis Control, Reader Mode, DAS Mode, Factory Calibration, HD, IPS by Glenn Lausen

I've owned this screen for 8 months now and use it as my primary work and play screen. As the title suggests, I can't stress enough how great this is for a full-time pro who appreciates screen real estate. I run this on my Windows workstation at 100% scaling (i.e. no scaling) to take full advantage of the pixels. It's so big that you don't need to zoom in as long as you have good eyesight. YMMV is obviously here, but that's how I've been running it for a few months now. That's wonderful. Because of this beauty I decided to go from 3 screens to 2 because there is so much space (this one is 4k, the second screen is 1440p with the same DPI). I'm sorry I didn't make a decision sooner. I work more than 8 hours a day on my machine and I can't imagine working without it! I'm a software developer, so I read text all day, every day. No problem. I also play a bit in the evening. Some games I run in a window so my eyes don't have to move from edge to edge, some games I run full screen and maybe move away from the screen. It all depends on how you play, whether I'm playing with kb/m or a controller etc. Some reviews mention that very very edge pixels are unusable due to the dimming effect. That's true, but it's not a problem in the real world. Edges can still be used for things like scrollbars, the taskbar, etc., but not for text that needs to be read. But who places text on the 5-pixel edge of their screen? Not me. In any case, regardless of the application, it's basically the window edge area. I can see it when I look but I never notice it in normal activities. There's really nothing to worry about. It also has a good remote control - much better than the awful push button systems found in almost all other monitors. No dead pixels. No weird colors. No flicker. No regret!
