Very helpful, no problem

This monitor saves lives. Almost no glare, customizable response time, and many different options for different games. The crosshair feature adds an extreme advantage and is very easy to use. I highly recommend this product and will use it endlessly.

Console (especially Fortnite) Good monitor!

I bought this monitor because I recently bought an Xbox Series X and after buying another monitor I found that you can't access 120Hz on a 144Hz monitor through its HDMI ports. Not many monitors do this, so it's important to do your own research. This monitor lets you access the 120 fps that your next-gen console delivers via HDMI, and it's a great buy for the price (although I think the price has gone up since I got it for $179.99 bought).

Great to play with and perfect for the price!

There is absolutely nothing to complain about here. I wish the screen was bigger but the price increase is ridiculous for the next few sizes. As soon as I start the game I still don't notice the size, so. good product!

really nice upgrade from what i had

I'm not an expert, I play casual games. I used to run at 75Hz so this is a really good upgrade for people looking for something better. It was packaged well and looks a lot better than my previous monitor :)

Solid monitor, I'm a fan of LG.

I like the LG monitor but the settings button under the computer that lets you turn it off or change the contrast etc is just weird and I'm not a fan of it. I'm so used to the sidebar. The picture quality is good, but not outstanding.

Great for the price but be careful with the color bar

An excellent monitor probably has the fastest response time of any monitor in this price range, I hardly noticed any ghosting, unlike the AOC monitors which had a lot of ghosting. However, the image quality in dark scenes can be quite poor as there isn't enough black on the monitor to display them, resulting in color banding and lots of dark squares appearing on the screen. In my opinion it's a good compromise at this price point, you definitely do NOT want slow response times which seems to be

Pretty cool / hard to get the picture the way I want it

It's on me for not noticing that there are no speakers here. It has 2 profiles that you can switch between using the video settings. It seems that both profiles cannot access the same features. Resetting one profile will also reset the other. There are 2 HDMI ports and 1 headphone jack which I used a lot. The screen can also be tilted up and down

Beautiful colors in my review

Superb 144Hz, compact, LG quality. What can I say? Not disappointed at all. No dead pixels. Has easily survived a trip around the world in my suitcase because it was packed in styrofoam. I've been very happy with the LG monitor lately, even I have a 4k monitor I'm using right now and it's great. I just wish it had a lower brightness level for very dark rooms but other than that - super happy!

Awesome gaming monitor for consoles

I bought this monitor for my PS4 Pro. I know the Pro can play 4K, but since you can choose between 4K or enhanced graphics/framerate in most games, I figured I'd go for the latter. I was more than impressed with what LG offers for the price. For just $175, you get a very good TN panel with a fast refresh rate, great response times, and vibrant colors. The picture quality is honestly so good that sometimes I forget I'm watching in 1080p. The ability to mount VESA at this price point is also a…

Terrible color bars ruin this otherwise good budget monitor

I bought this for my guest play equipment that my little son also uses. It replaced the 24-inch TN Dell Black Friday Special for $99. 144Hz produces very sharp and impressive motion that is as good if not better than my personal Pixio PX7 monitor. However, the image quality is much worse compared to the main problem, color banding. If you've seen multiple monitors with high refresh rates, you know image quality is everywhere. TN panels are fast and generally inexpensive for what you get, but…

Definitely worth it

I've been using this monitor for over a year and a half and traveling around the country for work. My back is scratched all over and I've bumped into walls many times. That's a beast. I love it.

Great for money

I bought for gaming but I also watch movies and TV on this monitor. Works well and you won't be disappointed. I had to tweak the Nvidia Control Panel but it turned out great.

Terrible Color Bar (Depth)

The refresh rate is as advertised, but the color depth is terrible. Dark areas in videos and games look terrible. This is similar to what you see when you install a driverless graphics card in Windows. Ironically, I first noticed the issue when looking at the product images on this site for this monitor. A photo of the monitor turned off looks like someone painted it with a watercolor using only 10 tones of black. The search for drivers was also a little adventure. It comes with a CD that only…

Good technology, cheap stand

I tried to order the same monitor that I already had several years ago. It seems that many technologies and properties are the same. It will probably work just fine. I'm just a little disappointed with LG's obviously cheap promotions. A cheap HDMI cable was included instead of the DisplayPort cable the old one came with. The stand is so cheap and barely adjustable. It is held in place by 2 small screws. The height is not adjustable. Looks like they moved the power conversion to the plug itself,

Okay, but make sure it's what you're looking for

I really love it! It's a good size for me, a convenient menu to work with, unfortunately it doesn't have built-in speakers, but headsets are better. 144Hz works with HDMI and works with next-generation displays at 120 fps. That's enough for me, VERY GOOD!

Exactly what I need the most in my review

I saw it in a review video recommendation and decided to buy it. Its size is perfect for my desk, the brightness controls are pretty good, and the design looks cool. The only complaint I have is that the volume is weird and I can only get it to work with headphones on. So I guess I need a soundbar. Otherwise I give 8/10. Definitely worth the money
