> 3 dayMonitor developed vertical pixel lines after 5 months of use. LG support was extremely poor. Their phone system disconnected us over 10 times. Once I was able to connect with them for an extended period, they informed me that I was to provide my own box and I was to pay for shipping to them. Estimated time to return to me was 14 to 21 days. Since the failure occurred after 90 days Amazon said I must deal with the vendor. I recommend going to Dell or to a local retailer (Best Buy) to buy items like this since Amazons policy puts you at the mercy of poor customer service from vendors like LG. I purchased 3 Samsung The Frame TVs yesterday and bought them from Best Buy rather than Amazon given this experience. Do not buy large electronics from Amazon.

Greater than one weekThe 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.

> 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 dayGreat monitor. Great picture quality. Did not use for gaming, so can not comment gaming, but for ever day personal use.

> 3 dayI got this as Id never had more than a 60 FPS monitor, but didnt want to compromise on 1440p quality. This monitor definitely delivers on both and at quite the price point makes it a steal. I would definitely recommend this monitor to others.

> 3 dayOnly thing that could be better and in a different location is the picture adjusting controller, Other than that its great,, clear and smooth,

> 3 dayGreat screen, however, this one will not go vertical when it states it does. It also is not adjustable so if you want to raise the screen you will have to get a stand. You can only tilt it up and down slightly. Great video quality from all angles, and love the thin boards. Make sure you check the settings to make sure youre optimizing the right ones. On both the monitor and your pc.

> 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 dayI would buy another monitor. Just tonight mine failed. After 9 months of use, booted my PC and it had a ton of red vertical lines on it, and it was unresponsive. Got it to work after a bit but there was so much artifacting and vertical lines that I chose to try and RMA it. Support site is buggy and took awhile to submit. Still waiting on a response but these reviews really don’t tell a great story. Monitor is a sweet deal if you know, it didn’t break in under a year (that’s just so unacceptable)
