Review on LG 48GQ900 B UltragearTM Monitor with Anti Glare Screen, Built-In Speakers, Adaptive Sync, and HD Resolution of 3840X2160‎ 48GQ900-B.AUS by Kyle Lacy

So I'd say I'm clearly not in the demographic this monitor was designed for. I do a lot of graphics work and was looking for a large monitor that would give me great color quality and image depth. Sometimes I could watch videos in full screen or play games, but primarily I needed it as a good computer monitor. Unfortunately, the risk of burn-in on an OLED display makes it almost unusable in this application. It has an auto dimming feature that will dim the brightness if your display stays static for more than a minute or two. In addition, it is not very sensitive to changes. Typing text isn't enough to keep it from dimming to an almost unreadable brightness. You have to make big changes to get it back, which is why I have to keep flipping task windows to bring it back to an acceptable brightness. There is no way to configure or disable this feature in the relatively limited menu. After some research this turned out to be a common problem with OLED displays (I thought burn-in went away with plasma screens but apparently not), and they all tend to do this dimming to protect against burn-in, but it does them pretty much useless. like a monitor. To be honest, my 58-inch Samsung, which I use at work and costs half as much, fares a lot better. In terms of physical design and features, I know they will use a cool factor that they think will resonate with gamers, but to be honest I found the design choices were lacking when I did took it out of the box. . I know the Revain police don't like it when you talk about shipping packaging, but that has nothing to do with it. If I do not get the product out of the packaging. Manufacturer's packaging undamaged, this is a serious problem with the product. I'm assuming/hoping that the OLED display will be more durable than a typical LCD monitor (all "LED monitors", including QLED, are actually LED-backlit LCDs), but the only way to get it out of the box to take, grab it by the top glass display. Generally on larger TVs and similar products, the box opens from the bottom and lifts up so you can see the entire item, but it has to come out through the top of the box is the only thing Part you can get your hands on, the thin glass at the top of the display. Apparently, when inserting the top foam, they managed to push the protective sheet of foam away from the front of the monitor, exposing it completely. I'm not sure you'd still want to lift it up while sticking it through the foam, but you practically couldn't get it out without at least leaving fingerprints on the new display and risking damaging it otherwise. Small cable The routing method on the back of the stand is almost useless, as is the USB hub built into the back. They really missed out on an important useful feature that they could have added, which is a built-in KVM that allows you to switch your entire monitor and keyboard with one input select. So I still had to add an extra KVM instead of going through a lousy menu to select an input. The monstrous remote control, which is mandatory to operate the monitor and MUST be pointed at a specific point on the display to function, is an absolute joke. I was hoping to get rid of the need for a remote control, which is an issue when using the TV as a monitor. It doesn't have any manual controls on the monitor that I could find. I suspect they are trying to attract people who want to improve their keyboard for gaming and they are trying to design them to match the keyboard. That makes it big, unwieldy, and intrusive on my desktop. I think the advantage is that I shouldn't lose it! You have a push button for volume control and menu navigation. Not very efficient or helpful. Let's start by saying that there isn't much that is useful on the menu. There are a few buttons that allow you to quickly jump to specific sections of the menu, i.e. some game presets. I'm just not sure what you want to change from the restricted settings to make the presets useful. On the two sides of the back of the case are a couple of LED strips that can be set to different colors or cycles. Maybe that's what they're there for. Not exactly an important part of my monitor! This is another "cool feature" that didn't particularly impress me. Overall, for the price, this is a hugely disappointing monitor. I gave two stars because the display is really good at full brightness. However, the critics are such that I can hardly use it and certainly can't justify the price for it. Unfortunately, I will probably have to exchange it for another Samsung.
