Varying heights in my rating

We bought 3 of these and installed them side by side with a 2019 Macbook Pro. It seems that all 3 monitors are of different"height". Yes, it's all the same model, but we had to put something underneath so they were level. Great monitors and we tuned them to 60Hz for Macbook. Only thing is our rig looks wonky with magazines underneath to align them.

Now compatible with M1 Mac

This monitor looks very bright and sharp most of the time, but sometimes it gets shaky and for some reason starts adding vertical lines of a darker area to the screen. Check out my video. I don't think he likes darker translucent windows. It only seems to happen when connected to my computer. I contacted Revain support and they sent a replacement USBC hub and displayport cable but that didn't fix the issue. I don't know what's going on, but it's very annoying to work with when these lines start

Very good monitors in my opinion.

PRO: Can display black color very well. good colors. This is good for 2 monitors in 1 at 4k resolution; this works fine for my work from home. I

This is a good monitor.

I have to say this is a good monitor. But it has a few problems: 1) Every LG monitor seems to have a joystick, and my old LG monitor's joystick doesn't work that well. This new one isn't much better, in fact I'm worried it won't last as long as my old one. 2) HDR. Oh HDR. The implementation of HDR in this monitor is REALLY not great. There is always a large amount of black level artifacts. It gets worse depending on the actual formatting of what you're watching, but it ranges from slightly…

Amazing value for money!

I would recommend turning the brightness down to 50% or less but the picture is amazing. 4K games are great! That's my feedback.

WFH - very happy with it

I've been working from home for the last 16 months and doing LOTS of conference calls with people who shared their screens - with this big monitor their screens are really easy to read - as conferencing software likes to take up 25% of the screen. The screen is a lot brighter than I expected, but - aside from needing sunglasses first thing in the morning - it's pretty good; My old monitor got darker over time (several years) and I didn't notice it. I really need to check the available…

Terrible viewing angle

The monitor is excellent, but only if you move accurately within 1 degree face to face. The smallest angle from the vertical makes the colors much less vivid. I've never had a monitor that was so viewing angle sensitive. This is pretty noticeable even if you just move your neck. I wouldn't recommend this for anything graphics related.

  • Poor Response Time: If the monitor's response time is too slow, movements may appear blurry or slow.

The HDMI cable that came with the monitor is useless, so I'm deducting a few stars for all the time wasted troubleshooting when I connected it to my latest MacBook Pro. The resolution was really low. After spending over an hour downloading drivers and troubleshooting to no avail, I replaced the HDMI cable with one that supports 4k/60Hz and voila, problem solved.

Flicker problems - good picture

All in all, this is a good monitor. The picture was good and clear. I noticed two bright spots where the light was erratic. Nighttime use immediately caused vision problems. After two nights of use I packed it up and sent it back. My eyes hurt. For daily use; however, it was great.

I LOVE this monitor

This monitor is HUGE (replacing my 10 year old 27 inch monitor) and is so sharp and clear I absolutely love it! My only complaint is that even at 100%, the brightness is less than desirable. But the resolution is amazing and the monitor makes me smile every time I look at it.One caveat, it wasn't working properly when I first plugged it in but after calling the help center they advised me to do a DP -DP cable to use instead which I have used and now - WONDERFUL!

Great driver and great job

These are great monitors built by professionals for software users first. It saves settings very well, very easy to set up, a button selection, set up, turn on, turn off etc. Installation and setup is very easy and hassle free, even on Windows 10, I didn't have Windows 11. Excellent performance consumption too. Congratulations LG. Unfortunately, LG's 4K TV doesn't have the same superior performance as a PC monitor.
