I ordered two and the only complaint is one has a single dead pixel but there is not much you can do about that

Purchased this monitor in November 2024 and it worked beautifully for about 14 months. The 4K resolution with 144Hz refresh rate was impressive while it lasted - games looked amazing and the colors were vivid. However, on January 7th, 2025, just weeks after the warranty expired, the monitor developed serious horizontal flickering lines across the bottom third of the screen.I did extensive troubleshooting to rule out any external issues - tried multiple cables (both HDMI and DisplayPort), tested with different computers (Mac and PC), and even tried different power outlets. The flickering persisted even on the monitor's built-in menu, confirming it's definitely a hardware failure.After reading other reviews, I'm noticing a concerning pattern of these monitors failing just outside the warranty period. I suspect LG might be pushing the hardware too hard trying to achieve both 4K and high refresh rates - it seems the components just can't handle it long-term.While $550 isn't the most expensive monitor out there, it's certainly not cheap, and any hardware at this price point should last significantly longer than 14 months. I've owned several LG monitors in the past and they've been reliable, but I cannot recommend this particular model. I'll be going back to 1440p monitors which seem to have better long-term reliability.Pros:Excellent picture quality when workingGreat color accuracySmooth 144Hz refresh rateCons:Failed just after warranty expiredHorizontal flickering lines developedPoor longevityMultiple reports of similar failuresExpensive for such short lifespanSave yourself the frustration and look elsewhere, or at least stick to 1440p if you want reliability.

Great monitor right out of the box. I like it bright so I use the “game stetting 2.” I am a little worried reading the reviews about the monitor getting corrupted by issues. I’ve read reviews and Reddit pages outside of amazon and it seems the screen you get is like playing the lottery when you get a bad one. If I had to guess sometime last year LG sent out some bad batches. Hoping I got one of the newer ones but you never know which products you buy that have been lingering around a warehouse for months. Hoping I got one that lasts.As long as there are no uprising issues, I would rate this (from S-tier (best) to F tier (worst) as an A- or B+ based on specs, quality, and pricing. I played Hell Divers 2 on 4K ultra settings with a 3080ti getting about 80-90 fps and I was very happy with the way the monitor looked. Didn’t see any flickering ,dead pixels, or dim spots. Very enjoyable experience.If I had to criticize, I would like speakers and a remote! I would also like a function to have two different rgb colors going at the same time. (If you can do that someone please tell me how!) I think it would be cool to do a blue and red as a star wars theme to go with a starwars lightsaber back ground!Disclaimer: I have no opinions on the stand that comes with the monitor, I use an arm clamp on my desk to maximize space.Update: 4 months later- still great still 5 stars 😊

I bought this monitor late october 2023. by start of January it looked like the picture I added. I was given the run around by LG customer support for the first weeks (they offered me 20% off a new one). I was finally directed to the LG business support department where we had a long back and forth til they finally decided they would fix the monitor I was to ship it to ontario(I live in Alberta) on Jan 24/24 told it would be 5-10 business days. I had not heard anything from them, so on feb 7th the sent a bunch of emails finally responded and repair place said parts ordered would not be in til Feb 15/24. Feb 19th i sent another round of emails asking the status. heard back on feb 23rd from repair place that parts were on back order so to avoid further delay LG would replace the monitor and would get ahold of me. Hearing nothing from LG in days following I emailed again on Feb 27, and got a generic email back "Please standby for further updates." and I wait some more, I am getting upset by now. So on march 4th I send a detailed email wanting answers and recieved "I regret to inform you that for this model the next inbound is end of April 2024" they offered me a 4 year old production monitor in its place as a replacement. I said i wanted same or better as a replacement technology wise. So as of today April 4th/2024 I still do not have my replacement monitor. I would say stay away from LG as a company, in the furture I will be moving my display needs to another company( FYI, I have been a LG owner for a good while at least 6 monitors and 2 oled TVs( 77 lgC1, 65 LGC3) but this lack of replacing a monitor that is in stock in many of LGs amazon stores including the one 8 minutes from my house by waiting on a new delivery seems odd to me. Display tech great, customer service deplorable

My last monitor, the Dell 34 inch ultrawide U3415W, is still going strong. It is a great 1440p ultrawide with a 60hz refresh rate. I had been reading a lot about high refresh rate monitors for a couple of years but nothing in the 32 inch size was ever available without some sort of big compromise. That is, until this monitor came out.As per the Monitors Unboxed review on YouTube, this monitor has a single overdrive experience for the Variable Refresh Rate. What this means in plain English is that if you choose the "Fast" VRR mode for the display (which is the default out of the box), you will be a great experience whether you are gaming at 144, 90 or 60 fps without the need to change settings on a per game basis. For example, on my 7900xt with Ryzen 3700x, I can get 144fps on Forza Horizon 4, lock the frame rate at 90fps on Cyberpunk, or have around 45-50 frames on Starfield, and all games look great with no ghosting or other graphical artifacts.Colors on this monitor are great as is the brightness. While this monitor does not have true HDR capabilities such as a mini-led array of lights, the monitor is very bright at its out of the box setting of 40 out of 100. Dark scenes are nice an inky without any noticeable backlight blooming as can occur on other LCDs (such as my old U3415W which did have noticeable blooming around the edges of the screen). Colors are great as per the supported 10bit color panel and thanks to HDMI 2.1 can be enabled at the same time as a 144hz refresh rate unlike other monitors with HDMI 2.0 or below.For those with 60hz monitors thinking about upgrading to 144hz but still not sure if it is worth it, trust me when I say it totally is. While there was a big jump in clarity moving from 1440p to 4K, the jump from 60 to 144 trumped the resolution increase. This is because the faster refreshing screen eliminated a lot of the blur when items are in motion. This was particularly noticeable in Forza when trees on the size of the road where incredibly crisp and there was no smearing or blur on the leaves as you drove past them. This was also noticeable at the 90hz rate in Cyberpunk when looking through the windows in the Downtown area while driving around in your bike. In the battle of ray tracing vs. high refresh, I now understand why so many people advocate for refresh rate as the impact on image quality is amazing.Lastly, the only negative in my review, since I do love this monitor, is the packaging. When the monitor arrived, it was nicely packed but there was no peel of protection on the screen itself. The screen enclosure was enveloped in a foamy wrap but the screen itself did not have any sort of plastic covering as you see on TVs when you open them. It is for this reason that I believe a small scratch did exist on the screen which I only discovered after about 3-4 days when on a sunny Saturday morning the light from an open window on a powered down monitor revealed the flaw. As you can see from my two screenshots, you cannot see the scratch when the monitor is on (and believe, I have tried everything to catch it). So, since e-waste is bad, I won't be returning the monitor as I honestly cannot tell when using it. But, if you are the type of person who this would bother, make sure you use a small flashlight or similar to inspect the screen when you first get it.In closing, this is a great monitor worthy of 5 stars. The colors, brightness and 144hz screen all combine to make it a treat for the eyes and a great experience for gaming . I highly recommended it and believe that if you are coming from 1440p and 60hz, you will love it.
