> 3 dayGreat for gaming if all you want is a high refresh rate monitor with 1440p resolution, but everything else the monitor falls a bit short. Color accuracy, saturation, dynamic range, etc. are all just meh. If you have 2 monitors, itll be a struggle matching them. If its a single monitor, youll have no problem adjusting to the slightly washed out look.

> 3 dayOverall, I am happy with the monitor. I dont feel that the IPS bleed is that bad on mine compared to other monitors Ive had. For the resolution and frame rate, Ill take it. However, my goodness, the anti-glare coating is a nightmare to maintain. Its an absolute oil magnet, so if you go to clean a smudge off and bump it with your knuckle -- another smudge. DO NOT USE A PRE-SAT GLASSES CLEANER OR EVEN 99% ISO alcohol. It leaves a horrible residue (wouldnt use anything harsher at all). Itll wipe off. But use the cleanest water you can. I have learned to clean mine with DI water and lensed paper. Additionally, it seems to be a bit hit and miss with its communication. Ill randomly get a notification that the monitor is going to enter sleep mode because it detects no input, or itll trigger a MOBO light for VGA. But it doesnt actually cause or have issues.

> 3 dayI like my LG TV, so I gave this monitor a shot. Long time PC gamer and this monitor is fantastic. Shipped safely and easy to set up. Drivers are easy to install, and FPS is great with Nvidia GPU. I recommend this monitor. Cosmetically its pleasing, and the color and fps were all that I hoped for.

> 3 dayI think this is the best gaming monitor for under 300$, the pixels are just way better than my other monitor which basically have the same specs. LG does good job at TV and monitors, eventhough its kind of heavy but due to its quality I think its worth it. And the plugs in the back are just way easier to plug in or out. Eventhough I have to switch my monitor mount for a better one becuz the LG is heavy, I am totally ok with it! Dont hesitate!

> 3 daySetup was easy, and everything booted up with no issues. There are dead pixels in the center of the right side of the screen. Any kind of quality control would have caught them, as they were dead on first bootup.

Greater than one weekI bought 2 of these because I previously owned 2 of the 1080 versions of the LG Ultragear monitors and was quite pleased with them. I open them up to find that there is no height adjustment for these monitors. That may work for some but on my desk I need my monitors to sit higher up than this. There is also no cable management built in like the 1080s had which is preferable since my desk is in an open space in my house and I would rather not have the cables hanging loose. The final straw is the ridiculously short power cable they come with. The plug is right on the power brick so they block 2 additional spots on my power strip and the cords are so short they dont even reach where I have them on my desk. I havent decided if I will keep them or not but if I do I will have to run another power strip right next to where the monitors are and will have to buy adjustable stands. The only version of these I can find with an adjustable stand also has a higher refresh rate and costs another $130 extra. LG has really cheaped out on the design here.....

> 3 dayThe Monitor is great picture-wise. This is the first 1440p monitor I bought. Unfortunately it did not end well. The motion blur, no matter what I did in my pc, game, or on the screens options. The motion blur was just too much. It made me sick with how much motion it was. I am coming from a 1080p monitor that had almost 0 motion blur so it made this monitor difficult. Another annoyance it had was that it promoted itself with numerous cords. But all I received when I unboxed it was a Display port and the power cable. I used display port primarily, but the HDMI would have been useful as a back up (probably being too picky). Another thing, the weight. Even without the stand, it started to bend my monitor mount. My 1080p monitor was the same size, but so much lighter. I would game and slowly the weight would keep bending the mount to the point the screen rotated slightly. If you are use to a higher motion blur, understand LGs option navigation system for settings, and are prepared for the weight of it. This is a great option, just not a option for myself.

Greater than one weekThis monitor is great! I have a decent 4K tv in my office. That’s where I usually play games. I’ve switched to this monitor exclusively. The HDR, refresh rate, and overall quality are beyond what I expected. I can whole heartedly recommend this monitor. I use it for my Xbox series X and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

> 3 dayThe monitor itself is very nice and the image quality is also great but from someone who has just switched from 1080p 240hz I could tell the 144hz difference quite a bit more than expected. The material the frame and stand are made of are like fingerprint magnets. Once that finger print is there there is no such thing as wiping it away its the weirdest thing. Also if you have a curved monitor and are planning to switch to this one maybe try to see it in person some how first because wow I didnt think a curved monitor made any difference but to my surprise it makes a huge difference.
