Excellent for work and gaming
on April 29, 2025
Posted by: AdamGaming
It's the endgame monitor I've been hoping for.
I've had zero issues getting it to work with my 2019 Macbook Pro, which was a surprise given the lack of 5K2K displays in 2019. Text clarity on the MBP is perfectly crisp. While I wasn't able to get it to work with the dock I had had, the included USB-C displayport cable works perfectly. I like having all of this space to arrange my windows for my software engineering job.
On my 2020 Windows PC equipped with an RTX 3090, I've had almost no issues. While text clarity on my Windows PC isn't as good as my Macbook Pro, but I assume that that's just down to Windows and not the display.
Gaming is excellent. My favorite game at the moment is Battlefield 5, and I'm able to more easily see soldiers on the ground while flying thanks to the high resolution and pixel density. HDR looks pretty good, though I've yet to play a game with HDR that really pops.
I'm a huge fan of the curve. While photos of the display look silly, in reality, when sitting in front of the display, the sides of the display are just as close as the center to the eye. The impression is like being in an IMAX theater, which also has a curved screen. In my opinion, the wrap-around is more immersive than a flat screen.
I had previously tried the 4K gaming displays that came out last year, and was just a little disappointed, finding them to be only a modest step forward from what I was using before. This, however, is a huge leap forward and I'm extremely satisfied. The only thing holding me back is my older PC- a problem which I'm going to change soon! It's challenging for me to imagine how displays can meaningfully improve from this point - this feels like it could be the last monitor I'll ever buy.

The last monitor I'll ever buy
on May 9, 2025
Posted by: Burzmali
from Colorado
This monitor is the best thing to ever happen to my home office. Coming from a multimonitor setup to this huge, single screen is a game changer for both productivity and gaming. Prior to buying, I was concerned that the curve would be too aggressive. I was relieved to discover that it's not noticeable at all. It helps with gaming immersion and doesn't impact my work (software development) at all.
The picture on this thing is incredible. Colors are vivid, blacks are deep, and the panel is very bright. Even with a south-facing window in my office, the screen seems bright. I know I've seen some people have concerns about the matte coating. It's barely noticeable. I can't even tell it's there unless I put one of my older glossy monitors right next to it. Really, the screen does everything you want. Just keep in mind that you will need a solid graphics card to fully use the 5k resolution at the full refresh rate. If you don't have at least a 5080, the price may not be worth it.
Connectivity-wise, I do wish it had more than one USB-C upstream port. The one that exists is fantastic, powering and connecting my Macbook Pro to peripherals through the USB-A ports just like a docking station. But additional upstream ports would have provided some KVM functionality, which would have been nice. That's not a deal-breaker at all, though.
Overall, I love this thing.

Incredibly immersive monitor
on April 19, 2025
Posted by: Frankie25
from Houston, Tx.
Incredibly immersive monitor. The 800r curve is incredible as it wraps arounds your field of view. Definitely an improvement over the G9 oled I had. My only complain it's the matte coating it's definitely not as good as a glossy one, and it's a bit blurry in light colors (looking at the sky in games).
Other than that it's an amazing monitor, I just wish it was glossy.

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.

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!
