      It does not have a built-in speaker, the stand is a bit annoying, and it could have a better refresh rate than 60Hz, but it has a nice picture, simple menu, and overall, for its price, it is great

      I use it for my PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and it has a very nice, relaxing image. I don't see any problems with ghosting in fast-paced games. It's definitely worth it for this category and for this price.

      I bought it for 280€ but the screen is really good, with great colors, 4k and HDR 10, which is significant for color and image resolution. Personally, I have it connected to my PlayStation 5 and it produces incredible graphics. I highly recommend it

      I come from an ancient state with the connection of 2 PCs/laptops to one VGA monitor using a switch for quick switching between them on the same screen. I have two issues now that bother me here.
      1. The most important, regardless of the double setup, is that when Windows turns off the monitor after x minutes that I have set, most of the time I have to manually close and reopen it to turn the monitor back on.
      2. Regarding the double setup, I have a desktop and a laptop connected to it. The input always shows the last device that was used. If I shut down the desktop and turn on the laptop, it won't recognize it and switch the input there, I have to do it manually from the settings.

      The image is perfect, yes, but if I knew all these things beforehand, I would probably go somewhere else.

      Very good and value-for-money monitor. Bought it on Black Friday. It's just as I expected. Coming from an LG monitor, I had no trouble with the settings and the central button. I use it for office work and gaming. Paired with the RTX 3060, it performs very well in 4k and I have no complaints. It immediately found the display port connection and almost everything was set up automatically. Of course, it's only 60 Hz, but anyone who wants more can go for 32'' inches and above. As well as at a considerably higher price. A fair and reliable monitor. Assembly was simple and it doesn't shake at all. I can't understand why some comments say it shakes. Completely satisfied with the price-performance-service ratio.

      I don't understand why people give 5 stars without uploading photos... I bought it and it had a very annoying glow. If you want to blind yourself, go ahead and get it. I returned it.

      Even I received the monitor with a dead pixel. After waiting for a month for the replacement and repair, I ended up having a refurbished one with another dead pixel in a different spot this time, instead of the new monitor I purchased. However, I won't send it back because I'm tired of being without a monitor that I paid so much money for. Unacceptable!!!

      The LG model currently being sold for 230 euros is one of the best monitors one can find for consoles. I've had it for two full years, since the oneX, and I can confidently say it's the best purchase I've made for a screen. The colors are amazing, the resolution is superb at 4K, the response time is impeccable despite the 5mls, and it doesn't face any issues with any game you play. The viewing angle is great, and the HDR 10 is flawless. Of course, it runs at 60fps in 4K, which is great for the visual experience. Those who want 120fps will have to go elsewhere, but they'll miss out on the image quality. Reading other comments, I'll say this: the base will break if we break it ourselves. This monitor is for gaming, and LG has it in this category. It's great with the new consoles, especially the Series X, which produces graphics that others see with 1200 euros on a PC. It's definitely worth it.

      Very good monitor, especially considering its price. Note that it supports 4K 60Hz via HDMI even with the cable that comes in the package, as long as you connect it to a hub/GPU that also supports HDMI 2.0. I use it with my Macbook Pro via a hub with HDMI and it works great.

      Although it has a slightly lower PPI compared to the Macbook, the difference is not noticeable. Of course, at native 4K resolution, everything is too small, but whether at 1080p scaling or 1440p, it looks great, much better than a native 1080p monitor.

      The stand is quite basic (only tilt), but at least it's made of metal.

      In a Macbook, you should connect it with USB-C to DisplayPort and not through a hub to HDMI, otherwise it runs at 30Hz instead of 60Hz

      The HDR is worth its money, don't think it's overpriced for this specific screen. Good colors for its price, always speaking of a very good viewing angle. I was worried, but it's all good. Very plastic construction, but very beautiful aesthetically, in my opinion

      Poor hdr implementation. Blacks appear washed out and overly bright both on Windows and ps4. Expected with the 300 nits it has. Additionally, it has presented me with ips glow which is annoying on one edge as it appears yellowish but only on a completely black background.

      Amazing screen, especially if you come from a Full HD screen like myself. As for the construction, I have to say it's a computer screen. It's not made of metal like Apple screens, but for its price and features, it's great. If it's set up properly on its base, it won't fall. If you drop it, it will break. This happens with all screens. The menu is easy and understandable. The ON/OFF button is located at the bottom so it doesn't bother you. From me, it gets 5 stars.

      I bought the screen a few days ago. After a lot of research, I had settled on the Dell S2721QS, which is €50 more expensive but has excellent performance for this category. In the end, I didn't buy it because it wasn't available for immediate purchase. The reason I'm saying this is that if you want more than just image quality and proper construction, choose Dell. This LG has a nice, clear and comfortable image, satisfactory lighting, good blacks for its price, but its menu should have been better and the button below the screen is not very convenient. Its construction is... terrible, though. It's like a plastic tray to the point of disgust. Unfortunately, it's not easy to see screens up close, especially the ones you want. The main reason I chose this one was that it has a lot of PPI, 163 4K. I give it 3 stars for the unjustified terrible construction. Choose Dell!

      I had the screen in my possession for a total of 9 days.
      From the very first moment, on the 1st day, I noticed that it has an issue with the stand.
      Unfortunately, on the 9th day, after a slight shake of the desk, the screen leaned forward, broke, and I lost 300 euros.
      Overall, while using it, I was quite satisfied with the colors, performance, etc.
      However, I cannot ignore the quite plastic stand of the screen, which suggests cheap construction and unfortunately cost me 300 euros.
      It is also mentioned in several reviews that the stand is not stable...
      (Unfortunately, I read them afterwards..)

      If you're coming from an old screen like me, the difference is mind-blowing! The colors are beautiful and the menu is finally simple. Instead of spending money on a graphics card, it's better to first get a good screen.

      I was looking for a screen for my MacBook Pro 2020. After buying a Dell with an HD resolution of 1920x1280, I realized that it was a dead end to buy a screen with a 4K resolution. You can't go from looking at a retina screen to an HD one. After a relatively quick search and reading great reviews, I decided to buy this LG screen and all I have to say is that it's worth it and more. Don't bother buying a computer screen in 2021 that isn't at least 4K. Note that my usage is mainly for office and AutoCAD 2D

      As a one-week owner coming from a 24" FHD, I am blown away by its performance. Crystal clear colors, very vivid. I struggled a bit with the connection, whether I should use displayport or HDMI... eventually, the latter prevailed... I hope I did it right. With HDR enabled, whether in a windows environment or gaming, this monitor is the best value for money currently available on the market!

      Update review November 3rd: I connected it with display port version 1.4 and the performance improved in games... now I run them in 4K without any lag and the colors became more vibrant!

        It does not have a built-in speaker, the stand is a bit annoying, and it could have a better refresh rate than 60Hz, but it has a nice picture, simple menu, and overall, for its price, it is great

        I use it for my PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and it has a very nice, relaxing image. I don't see any problems with ghosting in fast-paced games. It's definitely worth it for this category and for this price.

        I bought it for 280€ but the screen is really good, with great colors, 4k and HDR 10, which is significant for color and image resolution. Personally, I have it connected to my PlayStation 5 and it produces incredible graphics. I highly recommend it

        I come from an ancient state with the connection of 2 PCs/laptops to one VGA monitor using a switch for quick switching between them on the same screen. I have two issues now that bother me here.
        1. The most important, regardless of the double setup, is that when Windows turns off the monitor after x minutes that I have set, most of the time I have to manually close and reopen it to turn the monitor back on.
        2. Regarding the double setup, I have a desktop and a laptop connected to it. The input always shows the last device that was used. If I shut down the desktop and turn on the laptop, it won't recognize it and switch the input there, I have to do it manually from the settings.

        The image is perfect, yes, but if I knew all these things beforehand, I would probably go somewhere else.

        Very good and value-for-money monitor. Bought it on Black Friday. It's just as I expected. Coming from an LG monitor, I had no trouble with the settings and the central button. I use it for office work and gaming. Paired with the RTX 3060, it performs very well in 4k and I have no complaints. It immediately found the display port connection and almost everything was set up automatically. Of course, it's only 60 Hz, but anyone who wants more can go for 32'' inches and above. As well as at a considerably higher price. A fair and reliable monitor. Assembly was simple and it doesn't shake at all. I can't understand why some comments say it shakes. Completely satisfied with the price-performance-service ratio.

        I don't understand why people give 5 stars without uploading photos... I bought it and it had a very annoying glow. If you want to blind yourself, go ahead and get it. I returned it.

        Even I received the monitor with a dead pixel. After waiting for a month for the replacement and repair, I ended up having a refurbished one with another dead pixel in a different spot this time, instead of the new monitor I purchased. However, I won't send it back because I'm tired of being without a monitor that I paid so much money for. Unacceptable!!!

        The LG model currently being sold for 230 euros is one of the best monitors one can find for consoles. I've had it for two full years, since the oneX, and I can confidently say it's the best purchase I've made for a screen. The colors are amazing, the resolution is superb at 4K, the response time is impeccable despite the 5mls, and it doesn't face any issues with any game you play. The viewing angle is great, and the HDR 10 is flawless. Of course, it runs at 60fps in 4K, which is great for the visual experience. Those who want 120fps will have to go elsewhere, but they'll miss out on the image quality. Reading other comments, I'll say this: the base will break if we break it ourselves. This monitor is for gaming, and LG has it in this category. It's great with the new consoles, especially the Series X, which produces graphics that others see with 1200 euros on a PC. It's definitely worth it.

        Very good monitor, especially considering its price. Note that it supports 4K 60Hz via HDMI even with the cable that comes in the package, as long as you connect it to a hub/GPU that also supports HDMI 2.0. I use it with my Macbook Pro via a hub with HDMI and it works great.

        Although it has a slightly lower PPI compared to the Macbook, the difference is not noticeable. Of course, at native 4K resolution, everything is too small, but whether at 1080p scaling or 1440p, it looks great, much better than a native 1080p monitor.

        The stand is quite basic (only tilt), but at least it's made of metal.

        In a Macbook, you should connect it with USB-C to DisplayPort and not through a hub to HDMI, otherwise it runs at 30Hz instead of 60Hz

        The HDR is worth its money, don't think it's overpriced for this specific screen. Good colors for its price, always speaking of a very good viewing angle. I was worried, but it's all good. Very plastic construction, but very beautiful aesthetically, in my opinion

        Poor hdr implementation. Blacks appear washed out and overly bright both on Windows and ps4. Expected with the 300 nits it has. Additionally, it has presented me with ips glow which is annoying on one edge as it appears yellowish but only on a completely black background.

        Amazing screen, especially if you come from a Full HD screen like myself. As for the construction, I have to say it's a computer screen. It's not made of metal like Apple screens, but for its price and features, it's great. If it's set up properly on its base, it won't fall. If you drop it, it will break. This happens with all screens. The menu is easy and understandable. The ON/OFF button is located at the bottom so it doesn't bother you. From me, it gets 5 stars.

        I bought the screen a few days ago. After a lot of research, I had settled on the Dell S2721QS, which is €50 more expensive but has excellent performance for this category. In the end, I didn't buy it because it wasn't available for immediate purchase. The reason I'm saying this is that if you want more than just image quality and proper construction, choose Dell. This LG has a nice, clear and comfortable image, satisfactory lighting, good blacks for its price, but its menu should have been better and the button below the screen is not very convenient. Its construction is... terrible, though. It's like a plastic tray to the point of disgust. Unfortunately, it's not easy to see screens up close, especially the ones you want. The main reason I chose this one was that it has a lot of PPI, 163 4K. I give it 3 stars for the unjustified terrible construction. Choose Dell!

        I had the screen in my possession for a total of 9 days.
        From the very first moment, on the 1st day, I noticed that it has an issue with the stand.
        Unfortunately, on the 9th day, after a slight shake of the desk, the screen leaned forward, broke, and I lost 300 euros.
        Overall, while using it, I was quite satisfied with the colors, performance, etc.
        However, I cannot ignore the quite plastic stand of the screen, which suggests cheap construction and unfortunately cost me 300 euros.
        It is also mentioned in several reviews that the stand is not stable...
        (Unfortunately, I read them afterwards..)

        If you're coming from an old screen like me, the difference is mind-blowing! The colors are beautiful and the menu is finally simple. Instead of spending money on a graphics card, it's better to first get a good screen.

        I was looking for a screen for my MacBook Pro 2020. After buying a Dell with an HD resolution of 1920x1280, I realized that it was a dead end to buy a screen with a 4K resolution. You can't go from looking at a retina screen to an HD one. After a relatively quick search and reading great reviews, I decided to buy this LG screen and all I have to say is that it's worth it and more. Don't bother buying a computer screen in 2021 that isn't at least 4K. Note that my usage is mainly for office and AutoCAD 2D

        P.S. It would be more convenient if you could adjust the height.

        As a one-week owner coming from a 24" FHD, I am blown away by its performance. Crystal clear colors, very vivid. I struggled a bit with the connection, whether I should use displayport or HDMI... eventually, the latter prevailed... I hope I did it right. With HDR enabled, whether in a windows environment or gaming, this monitor is the best value for money currently available on the market!

        Update review November 3rd: I connected it with display port version 1.4 and the performance improved in games... now I run them in 4K without any lag and the colors became more vibrant!

        A very good screen for Windows use, of course it needs a scaling setting of 150-175% to be more readable. Very good image, viewing angles, user-friendly menu, connects without problems and has a speaker output. I highly recommend it
