Great gaming monitor - no displayport 2.1
on March 26, 2025
Posted by: Ajay83
Great monitor with amazing picture quality. Definitely can notice the PPI difference compared to the older version. Games look amazing. Was skeptical about curve, but it does not bother me, may actually prefer over a flat version now.
I have docked one point for the displayport 2.1 which this is supposed to support but does not. Displayport 1.4 works fine with HDR, but when I turn on HDR with displayport 2.1, there is no signal. From reading the online threads, no one has this working and I have tried 3 different cables, so it is not my setup issue. Definitely an issue with the monitor firmware/software. If this ever gets fixed, I will update my review.

Absolutely Amazing Monitor!!
on March 24, 2025
Posted by: Craigs12
OMG!!!! Wow!!! This is my very first gaming monitor from LG and LG, you did NOT disappoint!! My experience so far has been an AMAZING one!! Both gaming modes work great! The 330hz 1080p mode doesn't look as bad as I thought it would look. What an incredible immersive experience!! The ONLY issue I've had with the monitor was the deep sleep feature. For some reason, it would not wake, and the only way to get the monitor to wake was to restart my computer (that's an absolute no-go, as who wants to do that every single time the monitor goes to sleep after inactivity?). So to resolve that issue, I simply turned that feature off in the menu settings and since doing that, I've had ZERO issues with this monitor (the monitor still goes to sleep after inactivity, and now wakes as normal with a simple keyboard button press or movement of the mouse). This monitor is EASILY one of the most immersive monitors ever made. Image cleaning, HDR, gaming modes all work great with no issues in my experience. I haven't tried the HDMI port, but I will do so and update this review if I encounter any issues with HDMI. This monitor is pricey, but you most certainly get what you pay for! If you're on the fence about buying this monitor, I say with absolute certainty go for it! You will not be disappointed. I'm completely blown away by the immersion and picture quality of this monitor!

Incredible Monitor (read if having HDR issues)
on March 23, 2025
Posted by: ScottF23
from Kansas City, KS
I'll start by saying that I love the image quality, curvature, brightness, resolution, and speed of this monitor. It is truly immersive for a gaming experience.
I have had one issue with the monitor and wanted to share a possible resolution for anyone else experiencing it. I have the monitor paired with an Asus ROG Astral 5090 graphics card. In the native resolution and refresh rate (5120x2160 and 165Hz) if I enable HDR in windows, the screen will go black and claim loss of input. Initially, the only way to get video again was to use Win+Alt+B to disable HDR and hard reset the computer.
5120x2160 at 165 Hz and 10bit HDR would be 60 Gbps and require UBR20 or DSC. This monitor is only capable of UBR13.5, so I assume the issue is with negotiating usage of DSC.
I found that if I configure the monitor's "Input Compatibility Version" to 1.4, this fixed the issue and allowed me to run 5120x2160 at 165 Hz and 10bit HDR. This is found under the General section of the monitor's configuration.
The monitor and my Asus ROG Astral 5090 graphics card both support display port 2.1. I'm not sure if the DSC negotiation issue is on the side of the monitor or the graphics cards, but I hope to see a firmware update fix in the future to resolve the incompatibility.

Just bought this but the DisplayPort won’t work but HDMI does. Are there any known issues? I’ve tried it with supplied cable and my own.
