[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a wonderful monitor. However, it is not for studying or a 8-hour constant working as it is too big. I just got this monitor a few months ago and planning to sell it to switch to a smaller size. It gives me a headaches.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an LG TV and Android smart phone, so LG is a trusted brand in my book.
I bought this to use as a second monitor with my older model iMac. After I made the online purchase, the iMac died. Thinking to save a few bucks, I opted to buy a Mac Mini and use the LG as the main monitor, since it was already on order through Amazon. However, there seem to be persisting issues with LG monitors and Mac OS 11 Big Sur, which is the OS that ships with the new Mac Mini.
First, I had connectivity problems: I went through two direct connection cables from Best Buy and a third using an adaptor, none of which worked. Ultimately, I purchased an HDMI cable from Apple which finally allowed a connection.
The main problem I am having is the lack of full feature functions of the LG monitor. I can use it as a basic monitor but cannot access the split screen capabilities or other fine tuning controls. OnScreen Control (LG download) displays the controls on the monitor, but they are grayed out. (Amusingly, the OSC window opens with a notice that "there is no connected monitor.")
Note that Apple provides a download patch that is supposed to overcome the inability of OSC and OS 11 to communicate. It seems to work, but not 100%, at least in my case.
I have communicated with LG and Apple about this: LG has responded with various solutions, none of which have worked. I give them credit for trying. I have had no response from Apple. The Apple message boards show that I am not alone in this; other LG monitor users are having issues, especially with Big Sur. They also seem to be lacking in feedback from Apple.
Apple has provided two updates to OS 11 as of this writing, and one of them has allowed me a little more usability with the monitor: it has ceased flickering when using certain tools in Photoshop.
This monitor was offered at a great price, which along with the good reviews and specs, made it a practical purchase at the time. I am too heavily invested to replace this monitor at this time. It's usable, I can get by, but it's a far cry from what I was hoping for as a computer monitor.
On the flip side, as a TV, it's 5 stars for watching videos. Great screen. Great resolution.
