" ...  Refresh rate a little low for gaming, but that’s not what I got this screen for, so it’s perfect for what I wanted.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Ok, it's not an ips monitor, but the picture is pretty close to it. ... I really like this big, 2k monitor. ... It's the monitor looking amazing.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The panel is gorgeous, the price is very good for such good quality monitor.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Gaming: Screen is nice and bright with very minimal screen tearing when playing fast paced games (Skyrim, Witcher 3, GTA5). ... The curve in the screen makes gaming even more enjoyable as it almost pulls you into the game.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I was used to a 30" 2560x1600 monitor, so small text and tiny icons aren't new to me, but 4K is a little too much detail for a 27" monitor. ... No slight on the manufacturer, the picture is gorgeous, but I'm forced to squint, move unusually close to the screen, use a lower resolution, or scale my screen - all drawbacks to me. ... Resolved awaken to black screen issue!  ...  "

" ...  1080p at a 27" size, nothing fancy  ...  "
comment
" ...  My older monitor had giant bezels, and was 1080p. ... It is also 4k, which is a huge plus. ... It may be because of the IPS panel, but I can honestly tell a huge difference in the sharpness of the images/videos I see on the monitor. ... To those of you that are new to 4k, make sure to go into your desktop settings and change the gpu resolution setting to 4k to experience the detail, otherwise you'll basically be looking at a 1080p screen.  ...  "

" ...  Work using Display Port, watch 4K streaming content on HDMI. ... I create 4K youtube videos using my GH5 shooting in 10 bit color, so is great to actually be able to see the source footage as its supposed to be seen. ... And as content creator I want matte screen, not glossy as some 4k. ... My 1080p LG monitor lasted 10 years.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I purchased this monitor to replace my older 4k monitor, and when I powered up the unit, I was pleasantly surprised. ... I will be buying another 4k monitor, just not this brand.  ...  "
comment
" ...  One one hand, I could splurge and drop $600 on a USC-C powered 4k monitor (ugh) or go with one of this one that was pretty good reviews and was just 1/3 of the price. ... After fiddling around and downloading a couple of third party display apps from the App Store, I finally got 4k!  ...  "

comment
" ...  I've updated the drivers, tried another HDMI cable and checked the power but the monitor will flicker every 5-20 seconds except when it is fine for about 30mins. ... Colors are a bit too saturated at first and even after you install the newest drivers for it.  ...  "

comment
" ...  There appears to be an issue at the moment, however, regarding DisplayPort 'Deep Sleep' when used with multiple screens. ... When Windows10 turns off the displays (as is normal after some period of inactivity), it sends the 'sleep' command to the monitors. ... This monitor--when connected via DisplayPort--enters a sleep so deep Windows thinks it's been disconnected altogether, which causes app windows to be shuffled among the other remaining screens. ... There are lots of posts out there regarding DisplayPort Deep Sleep, which argue that it is actually a Windows 10 problem, introduced with 2019 updates. ... Some monitors have a menu item to change or disable the sleep modes.  ...  "
