Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this monitor a couple weeks ago when it was on sale. $800 is definitely a steal, but for the quality that this brings, it’s well worth the $1500. The vivid colors on the screen, the speakers in the monitor, the speed when gaming, THE ANTI GLARE… chefs kiss! I also use this for work (split my screen 4 ways) and it feels like i have 4 regular monitors within the one—it’s amazing. I will never go back to a smaller monitor again!!

I have had this monitor for close to two months & I love it every time I look at it. The deep inky blacks are so distracting. The 4k clarity in all of my games are what rejuvenated a huge part of me that had been missing since I was a kid. I completed this purchase 9/7/22 & I have logged 266 hours on my monitor so far. YES IT WILL TELL YOU! & not a single issue. OLED CARE I play & use with the OLED screen care every day all day. There is a couple of settings to prevent any burn in. The image & pixel cleaning that are part of the OLED screen savers setting. They clean the screen while the screen is off after longer sessions. Maybe anything over 2 hours will give you a cleaning reminder. There is also a setting called Screen Move which will move your screen at the speed of light every minute or so so that not all pixels are just shining the same thing. It is a little noticeable in the day time because sometimes you will notice a bezel is bigger then the other ones. This actually makes me happy knowing that feature is working. No burn ins 266 hours after use. I play a lot of Minecraft which is notorious for burn ins with the HUD at the bottom. THE BAD This monitor is next to perfect. The price is a little high, but I found a 1200 deal which was not too bad. It is almost the price of my computer tho, but the experience is worth it. Im sure I have not gotten all of its value yet. I am sure I will. I purchased the 4 year warranty so I am protected. People need to know... This is not a TV. No dolby vision (not mainstream for games). This is a gaming monitor. This is mainly for the PC gamers but I could see this being great for XBSX/PS5. THE GOOD The whole thing is good. Bright colors, Bright panel, Anti-glare, 4k, OLED, 138 HZ, Clarity, OLED

As long as you understand this isn’t a TV and is in fact a gaming monitor, you’ll love this monitor (as long as 48” isn’t too big for you). This monitor has been perfect for me and pairs nicely with my new RTX 3080, colors look amazing (of course, it is OLED), and refresh rate is perfect. Having G-Sync also really helps and HDR gaming on Windows 11 has proved it’s worth! Is a tad bit pricey, but I’m my opinion, if you have $1,500 to even consider it, it’s worth the price. I got it on sale for $1,299. I know people choose the C2 over this monitor, but I’m happy with this monitor over the C2, due to the alone fact that this has DisplayPort and OC to 138hz, where as the C2 doesn’t. It does have 3 HDMI 2.1 ports, which make it also perfect for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. I have yet to have any issues with the monitor other than the DisplayPort cable it came with was broke, but that has nothing to do with the Display. Only thing I wish is that it had a 42” variant.

Considering I purchased the item on sale… I can’t say enough good things about this monitor. Beautiful rich colors, stunning 4K images at 120 frames/sec…. My only criticism is reserved for the 100x100 bracket pattern on such a large monitor. It puts limitations on what wall mount you really should purchase for it. The universal mounting systems (I.e. Sanus) with the long bracket rails may put mild strain on the connections where you plug in HDMI/Display Port cables.

If you are interested in OLED and not looking towards the LG C2 TV, get this monitor if its on sale. Granted I purchased this during Black Friday deals where it went as low as $899 compare to its $1499 price tag (At that point go with the LG C2). If you are someone looking for something more than just HDMI 2.1 ports, you'll want this monitor since it is also equipped with DisplayPort 1.4 (if on sale). Truthfully if you want OLED, I recommend going for the LG C2 if this monitor isn't on sale. If you do need other ports and simply want a monitor without any of the SmartTV functionality, get this. But to me the regular price tag is a bit much for it. But note that 48" is a large size and I recommend at minimum a 31" desk depth or more. If ya think its too big, LG is releasing a new 27" oled next year for $999. One more thing, this is a matte finish (not glossy like the TV lineup).

I have tried EVERYTHING on my desk and so far this monitor ticks all of the boxes for me. The image quality is as good as anything out there (I replaced a Sony A90K with this and I kicked the Alienware QD-OLED upstairs to my daughter, so I've got plenty of great panels to compare to). The low profile stand puts the screen at a perfect height for where I sit and means I don't need to use a mount. I love that it's a monitor and not a TV; DisplayPort is a big deal to me, and being able to wake with my PC rather than having to power on with a remote is huge. The matte coating is the real winner for my setup though. I have a large window behind me and reflections are killer. This monitor has absolutely ZERO issues handling that, and then at night it's even better. I wasn't sure what I would think about an OLED with a matte coating but it just feels right. It's a strange analogy, but the best thing I can say is it's like having a really large, really clear computer monitor. That's the effect of the anti-glare coating. For gaming, it's fast, responsive and handles motion as well as anything I've ever used. Maybe it's just to my eyes but I feel like the anti-glare combined with the OLED means I see small fine details I wasn't seeing on other panels. There isn't a single game I've tried that hasn't made me say "wow" so far. I did override Windows color settings to make sure that Nvidia 10-bit was on and I checked "reference mode" as well. That seems to be getting me the best results. I'm not using the speakers, but I did for a day or so, and they really aren't half bad, especially compared to what's out there. A few things I would change: the auto-brightness limiter is indeed aggressive, and would bug me if I did more content creation and/or tried to use this screen for work, but if the trade off is the monitor stays healthy, I can live with it. The headphone jack on the front is a great idea. The fact that I can see the port glinting out of the corner of my eye is not. It could be blended with the border of the monitor better. Lastly, the "remote" is a good idea and works as intended, but I wish it were just a tad smaller sitting on my desk. Overall, extremely pleased with my purchase, especially at this price.

Love it! Got it during Christmas for insane price of $699. This was a steal and so worth it. Looks beautiful and I use it to play PC games and my PS5. I would definitely recommend this monitor. After six months of using it, I haven’t experienced any eye strain or issues which I was really worried about. Best purchase!

Absolutely love this monitor now I can enjoy the full potential of my RTX3090 with 4k resolution. Have to replay Elden Ring among other games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider which look so much mote amazing. Now I can game, browse watch movies at a further distant more comfortably.

Ridiculous price for this. OLED with DisplayPort. Take my money and not much of it actually on sale. Hooked my Asus Strix G15 advantage laptop (purchased here)with the 6800M graphics card with usb-c to display port to get dedicated graphic support. Amazing!!!!!

Great purchase at $899. Now that I’ve played with it, I would say great buy at $1500. You may have a vertical line running through it out of the box. But if you keep the monitor on for 4 hours, when you turn it off, it’ll do its pixel clean. Worked on mine like magic

5 stars. I’ve used the LG 42C2 OLED as a monitor since they launched. Loved it, have only one gripe. Lack of pc focused features. Bought this 48 lg UG during black friday. I was skeptical due to the anti-glare coating. But for 699 decided it would worth exploring. Long story short you dont notice the anti-glare coating. The controls are a but unusual for a monitor but work well. Took me about todays of reading a researching to dial in the settings for both my gaming pcs to get thr color accuracy i enjoy. This has taken over as my main monitor and my c3 will now be my productivity monitor. Buy this next time it hits that sale price and thank me later.

This is my first monitor. Watched thousands of videos between buying an ultrawide Samsung or this. I ended up buying this because I could connect my Ps5 and my computer. The image Quality and Sound are fantastic. I recomend this to everybody looking for a screen to multitask and also gaming

Great monitors, do what they say they do. I’ve got them setup 11520x2160 resolution 120hz, although it has an option to overclock to 138hz and does work, I couldn’t get all 3 at that speed together. So if you’re buying 1 like a normal person it’s a great feature. I’m running all 3 on DisplayPort and manage a steady 84fps in iracing with settings maxed on an rtx4080 and 7900x3d. Image cleaning is nice feature as well after 4 hours of use when you shut the monitor down it will self clean then turn off. They do what they’re supposed to.

Good monitor. However the monitor does not support dolby vision. The lg c2 does.

I love this monitor. It’s massive, giving my setup a really cool new look. It also does really well as a monitor for my PS5, really tying my workstation and gaming station into one.

Get this monitor in a great price! This is a really huge monitor with high graphical quality! Worth the price!

Love the quality and the visuals of the monitor. Definitely the best monitor i have ever had .

just dont buy a open box item. the monitor is great and so beautiful but i noticed on a light background there is a line that will not go away. It looks like a scratch but it only shows up in light backgrounds. I only complain because i was told this was in excellent condition but there was oil smudge and Styrofoam stuck in the bezel that i still cant take out. Great monitor though.

Not being able to tilt a monitor is a big thing for me! This monitor looks really well but the fact is stationary like a tv was a down fall imo. Still a great monitor but can also feel like it’s too big.

This monitor is beautiful! And large. I sit about 4-5 feet away from it, and that is what I would recommend. You will read about dimming a lot, and I found that turning off all the power saving options and turning of HDR for non-gaming usage helps that a lot. You will want to turn down the brightness too. I also have switched to dark mode on a lot of my apps, and that seems to eliminate dimming too. In games, you'll want HDR on because it really brings out the details in the shadows. Baldur's Gate 3 is gorgeous with an RTX 3090 Ti and ultra settings. If you are thinking about putting it on an arm, pay attention to the weight. And have someone to help you lift it it because it's very bottom heavy, and it wants to tilt over. It's only 37 lbs, but its weight is not balanced at all. I have mine sitting on a table with the stand because I couldn't find an arm I thought would hold the weight for less than $100. I got mine through a TotalTech member sale, so I am extremely happy with the value. $1500 msrp might be steeper than I would want to go solely for gaming considering the LG C3 EVO 65" TV, which uses the same panel as the monitor, is on sale for $1599 right now.
