Absolutely wonderful picture. Worked instantly with my Mac Mini. Using it with the Thunderbolt usb C connection. Speakers aren’t bad but you can’t mix music with them. The LG software to divide the screen works fantastic and is very easy to use. Most of my day is spent with standard business remote work. I do a fair amount of music mixing and video editing, and it is great for that purpose. I had three monitors before and now down to one. So much more desk space freed up. I don’t do detailed color work so I can’t speak to color correctness. I have not attempted to calibrate the colors, but I don ‘t see any terrible problems. Very satisfied.

The image looks like it has a matt finish. The brightness is pretty good but not exceptional. Initially the colors were over saturated but I found a setting that took away the excess. The colour temp and saturation looks good now. My only complaint is that when I send video from a BMD Intensity Shuttle, there is a warning displayed that the image is at an unsupported resolution. It still displays and the message can be dismissed, but I don’t see why it cannot support 1080/30. I use it as a monitor for a 4k Apple TV connected through a Denon surround sound system.

I use this for managing my video production company and for editing. It works fine for both. I bought these screens so I can have two of them and stand at my moveable desk about 3.5′ away from the monitors and still see them. They are about 6′ across when set side by side. Not very bright but that is expected if you see the Lumen count. The brightness is the only reason I am rating them a 4 instead of a 5.

I purchased this screen after a lot of research for my graphics design business. The screen is pretty good; however it ended up being too large for my needs and gave me eye strain. When I attempted to return it to B&H, I was informed that the Easy 30-Day Return Policy that is listed on their website does not apply to monitors, they will not accept any monitors back on return, even if you have only had it for a couple of days and have the original packaging and equipment like I did. To say the least this was very frustrating for me.

Just received and man am I disappointed. Terrible resolution, bad color…impossible to get right with the on board settings. The cherry on top was the brightness or should I say: lack of. Don’t buy this monitor if you think its computer computer monitor, it’s an overpriced TV.
