Featured in my Stand and Deliver review

Bought this monitor for my son's room. He didn't want a monitor with a stand that would take up all the desk space. I saw this unique stand that attaches to the edge of a table or desk and takes up no countertop space. The stand allows him to rotate the screen 90 degrees from the front while seated at this desk, allowing him to view Prime while lying in bed. You can also rotate the screen from horizontal to vertical. And it's great for gaming, I just wish it had HDMI 2.1 and then it would be…

Buy this monitor! to my rating.

I've been using this monitor for a few weeks now and it's worth every penny. Starting with a 60Hz display, this thing feels ridiculously responsive, to the point where I had to relearn how to play video games because it felt so different. It was a quick transition, but now I never want to go back. Even without 144Hz, freesync is incredible and the panel itself looks very clear and appealing. The stand is also a big plus. The wobble is a little annoying, but for the most part I'd say you won't…

the color scheme matches the task on my mac mini

I don't really care about it for games, but the color gamut is 98% DCI. Works well with my Mac Mini. You can see the difference on a monitor that only has 95% DCI gamut.

Good display, bad connections and support

The display itself is good. Color accuracy might need some calibration, but overall I found it ok, even with limited customization options in the on-screen interface. However, I have a big problem with my HDMI/Displayport connection. If you let the screen go to sleep, it will disconnect from the computer and if you try to wake it up, it will have to reconnect, which can take some time and mess up the layout of running applications. LG can easily fix this issue with a firmware update, but it…
