Buy this if youre looking for a monitor!
picked this monitor up on black friday and I can say this. its one of the best monitors ive owned and ive owned a lot. picture is great. the only thing i can say negative is that it doesnt come with speakers built in and you have to plug in your headphones/speakers directly to the monitor. other then that its a gamers dream.

Life's Good - Warranty not so good!
Bought monitor a few months back. It has been stationary since I installed it. A couple weeks back developed lines across screen. Thought no problem, Its covered under warranty; not so! LG accused me of physically damaging product and refused to honor warranty. The guy at service center told me he wasn't surprised by LG's response, its their easy out from having to cover warranty. Last LG product for sure. Unfortunately, I bought 4 of them!

    No height adjustment!?
    This monitor would fit perfectly on my desk IF the monitor has ability to telescope up or down. My other LG 4K monitor telescopes up and down but this one does not. Noticed a little brightness change while gaming, might be a setting needing adjustment. Screen function button is nice under monitor.

    Great value for a 32" monitor
    I bought this monitor to get the 2560x1440 resolution as well as the much larger screen. So far, I'm very happy. I haven't found any dead pixels, the 32" screen is clear and makes computing seem even easier. I have not noticed any negatives yet. I feel like I got a great bargain.

    Good News: Its G-Sync Compatible according to Nvid
    -Like the title says; according to Nvida control panel, it is G-Sync Compatible. So I tested it out and to my surprise no tearing/ghosting/flickering. -I read a ton of comments and some saying that the monitor had notable pixilation, but to my experience, I saw no pixilation what so ever. Its only only until my eye balls were touching the screen that I could see it. -Color is great, the UI for fixing color, profiles, etc is super easy to control and to navigate. -Thin boarders make it super sleek. -In love with it right now and will pick up another one if the price is right again.

    Overall a very competent monitor
    Overall, the monitor is quite well for the price range. With Intel HD4000 integrated graphics, I was just able to obtain 60 Hz refresh rate. Fortunately, I do not do gaming, so not able to fully utilize the high refresh rate is not a problem with me. The overall text and graphics are sharp enough, although some reviews complained about the the low pixel per inch compared with the more expensive monitors. The only thing I would complain are the subtle black smudges under a bright white screen. Other than that, I am completely happy with it.

    Nice monitor, but not for me
    I had an HP 27" IPS monitor. I thought I would like the extra display area of this LG, and I did. However, being a VA panel, this monitor has a smaller viewing angle. I typically sit 24" from a monitor and that leaves the left and right edges of the screen a little bit milky. If I wanted to see the edge perfectly, I had to move my head a little bit left or right to see it. Comparing it to the old monitor, I do like the detail of the 1440 over the 1080. I can see the pixels on the 1080 screen, I don't notice them on the 1440. Once again, the problem is that I need to sit 3 to 3.5 feet away to make the screen edges clear. If I was just using this for gaming, I think it would work. For a PC monitor, it doesn't work for me. I did appreciate the 2-HDMIs plus one displayport. The stand is very sturdy, but only tilts which is annoying. I used a VESA mount instead. The little joystick used for setup and adjustments works pretty well. One last thing, it has a big chunky wall adapter.

    Amazingly crisp and fast!
    Beautiful monitor right out of the box. Very easy setup with just 2 parts to attach. As soon as I plugged it into my setup away I went! Minor adjustments to picture quality preference, I set mine up for 4k. It looks amazing ! There is literally no lag when playing competitive fps games. Highly recommend this for your gaming needs !

    Mac or Windows PC
    I had this for a few months and it's a great monitor. I used it for my M1 Mac Mini for a month and then used it with my gaming PC. It is amazing for games. My only problem with the monitor is the one stuck pixel right in the middle of the screen. You can only see it when the screen is all white.

    Sweet monitor
    Super clear gaming with virtually no blur. Love the cross hair feature just wish the base at least tilted but whatever. Love the 165hz rate and the overall look of this monitor.

    Best Feature is Price but Still Plenty More to it.
    I picked this up on discount for 250USD and definitely got my money's worth. Coming from a 2560x1080 "ultrawide" to 2560x1440 was a nice transition and didn't disrupt my workflow. And then I was scared to go any lower than 32" in physical size because of this transition so this monitor fit the bill. Ultimately the 32" might be a bit much. I like it! That much is for sure. But when typing I am too close to it. You lose some of the viewing angle at the far left and right of the screen as you come in closer. A monitor arm that is on the way and a desk rearrangement should solve this though (which I will mention the stand is the bare minimum with no adjustments and a downward tilt so a monitor arm is strongly recommended). And as long as you are the appropriate distance away, the viewing angles are great. The other highlight concerning workflow is the 165hz refresh rate. Coming from 60hz this difference is instantly noticeable. Scrolling up and down is super smooth. On the gaming side of things. The monitor is indeed G-Sync compatible for me (3070ti). It's a feature that I am very much enjoying thus far. It's almost hard to truly appreciate because it works so well. The extra pixel real estate and refresh rate do definitely push the machine more and quickly makes you realize 1440p is the sweet spot for PC gaming right now. The colors are.. Fine. I found one of the presets to be close enough to my personal expectations that I only needed to adjust it slightly. But this is definitely not going to compete with your 4k TV in the color department by any stretch. It is still more than enough for gaming, browsing, working, and occasional media that you do at your PC. The HDR "compatibility" or whatever they are on about is laughable though. I'm no snob, elitist or whatever-phile but this isn't the HDR I know. It's washed, it's dull, it's grey blacks and whites. It doesn't work. With games or media. The "HDR Effect" preset on the monitor looks better than the supposed HDR being actually on. I suppose this is obvious to people who know about ratios and brightness ratings but I'm just a layperson telling you "like I see it"; The HDR on this is a pointless feature that does not do anything of use. So with all that in mind; I think it is closer to a 250USD monitor than it is to the listing price of 350USD. I do still feel like I got my money's worth as I opened up with, but it doesn't feel like as good of a deal now as when I clicked buy. It works though. It does everything you need it to do and then some. Your expectations should just be realistic. Honestly probably a soft 5 stars, but I knocked it down to 4 just because the only surprises were slightly negative ones. It does deliver for everything you need though.

    Great Value Monitor
    I was looking for a 27 inch 120hz monitor, and found this amazing value instead. Don't let the VA panel scare you, the viewing angles are just fine (my 55 inch television is VA and looks great). Colors are less saturated than an IPS monitor; but it offers a mode to add some oomph to non-HDR content. Black levels are not quite OLED level, but definitely better than IPS; especially nice when the lights are out. Freesync/Gsync and HDR work great with PC. PS5 runs fine on it as does my Mac mini. The best part is the screen is large enough that I can run at the full 2K without having to scale the desktop just to read the font. Protip: reduce sharpness a bit to make fonts look nice and smooth. Note the stand is angle adjustable but not height adjustable (My understanding is the 32GN650 has a better stand; but is otherwise the exact same monitor) and there are no built in speakers; but these were features I wasn't looking for in particular.

    Too big if you have a small desk, great otherwise.
    Awesome monitor, I use it with my Xbox series X and 120fps is amazing on this. Resolution is good, not 4k but you need an OLED or QLED monitor to get 165hz and 4k so I cant really complain. I will say this though, the thing is HUGE. If you have a small desk and are using Mouse and Keyboard it will be like you are front row at a theater. I would suggest a smaller monitor if you have a small desk or will be close to this thing. Thats my only gripe about it right now. Assembly took 5 minutes, setup took 2. Literally build plug and play. Hope this helps!

    Great Mid-Range Gaming Monitor
    Great monitor. Very good and on par with other very expensive gaming monitors. Has all the features that you need and want from a mid-range gaming monitor. Refresh rate, response time, pixel density, etc. Only issue I see is that it's not curve, but that is more a preference than a must have.
