Motion blur madness

The monitor looks great. This is the first 1440p monitor I've bought. Unfortunately it didn't end well. Motion blur no matter what I'm doing on my computer, in game or on screens. The motion blur was too strong. I got tired of how much movement it had. Coming from a 1080p monitor with almost 0 motion blur which made this monitor more difficult. Another annoyance was that he applied with numerous cords. But all I got when I unboxed it was a display port and a power cable. I primarily used the display port, but HDMI would have made sense as a backup (probably too picky). Another thing is the weight. Even without the stand, it started flexing my monitor mount. My 1080p monitor was the same size but much lighter. I played, and gradually the weight continued to flex the mount to the point where the screen rotated slightly. If you're used to more motion blur, find out about LG's navigation system in settings and be prepared for its weight. It's a great option, just not an option for me.

Pros
  • An anti-reflective coating prevents eye strain
Cons
  • Bad brightness
