Best Monitor I Have Ever Gamed With – But Not Without Flaws. So this monitor is amazing, and is definitely a big upgrade from my prior Asus 34″ ultra wide screen.The color quality is amazing and gaming is phenomenal at 4k 138hz. That being said, there are a few drawbacks. First, the bios has some pretty big bugs. The monitor will not come out of sleep mode when you are running 4k @ 138hz, which is incredibly annoying. It’s advertised as running at 138hz, so that’s an issue that should have been addressed before release. Second, the brightness is not that high when you’re running large windows with a lot of white. Third, the way Amazon shipped this product is completely unacceptable. The box is very thin, and it’s not double boxed. The box had really large, deep puncture holes. It was honestly a mini-miracle the monitor was not broken when I received it. There are also larges areas that are not protected at all by the internal Styrofoam, so it doesn’t take much to puncture the box into the glass. Overall pretty surprised they would ship a product that costs $1,499+ with such shoddy packaging.*UPDATE 12/16*So they released a firmware update that fixed the issue with the monitor not waking up from sleep. So I’m bumping my review to a 5/5.

Wow. This thing is amazing. First, for all of the people who have mentioned the latest bios having issues. Yes, it does. Their website clearly states that you might run into these issues depending on what video card you are using. A new bios will be released later this month that will not have these problems.This monitor is incredible. Deep rich blacks and vibrant colors. Unlike the LG C2, it was designed for gaming and isn’t a TV that can substitute for gaming. It uses the same panel as the C2. Also, I prefer the antiglare coating on this to the C2. It is much better for computers. Having HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 is great. Use DisplayPort 1.4 if you have the option and get a cable that you know will work with 1.4. The onscreen menu is simple and easy to use.The speakers are OK, but not as good as the ones I have, so I don’t use them.You need to understand that this thing is *BIG*. You will need a desk that allows you to sit a decent distance away from it. I probably sit about 30 – 32″ away from mine and it’s still a little close, but I love how it maintains the 16:9 ratio and yet takes up my entire field of view. Gaming on this monitor is a whole new experience. I have never had such an immersive experience gaming as I have with this monitor. Working with spreadsheets is a joy and browsing the web makes you feel like you have tons of extra space. I can easily open multiple pages on my monitor and read them all. It’s fantastic and a heck of a time-saver!Don’t get me wrong. This is an expensive monitor, but you will fall in love with it if you have the space and a computer that has a powerful enough videocard to run this beast.
