Review: Solid monitor for everyday use — great value - This
monitor is a great value for the price. I mainly use it for work
(SAP-heavy tasks) and general web browsing with my Mac mini, and
it performs well. It comes with both a USB-C and HDMI cable,
which is super convenient for switching between my Mac and
ThinkPad. The remote aids in the switching between PC and smart
monitor use (picture quality is ok but I didnt expect a lot of a
monitor since it isn’t a tv) Assembly was easy, and the display
quality is nice—though I did tweak the contrast and color
settings to my liking. The built-in sound is decent, and while
I’m not picky about audio, it’s more than fine for everyday use.
My only gripe is with the smart TV feature—when using apps like
Peacock, the resolution doesn’t fill the screen, leaving black
bars on the sides (included a photo). Not a dealbreaker, but
worth noting. Overall, I’m glad I kept it. It’s proven that you
don’t have to drop $1,300 on an iMac—pairing a Mac Mini with this
monitor cost me under $1,000 and works just as well. If LG tossed
in a second USB-C cable and fixed the resolution issue, they’d
have a customer for life.
Review: You may need to upgrade your docking station & Cables - I
bought this monitor to get more viewing space and the curved
screen. But, it took me sometime to figure out how to get it to
work properly because I am using a docking station that only
support USB-C upstream at 5Gbps/100W and 2K HDMI, 4K HDMI. This
monitor has 5M pixel (3440x1440) that is equivalent to 2.5K. If
your docking station only supports 2K HDMI, the image will be
blurry. Once, I switch to 4K HDMI port on the docking station,
the blurry image is gone. Please make sure the HDMI cable is also
4K, too. The one come with the monitor is good. After that, the
image is perfect but it flicks (screen black out 2s, come back,
and disappear agin) every few seconds, especially when I use Web
browser. This basically make it useless. I google the problem,
updated my graphic card driver, and it is still the same. I
suspected upstream speed of my docking station is too slow. I
search internet and it shows 5Gbps is enough for 2.5K. When I
connect with my laptop Thunderbold 4 port (40 Gbps), the flicking
is gone. It only happens when I connect with my laptop's USB-C
3.2/DisplayPort/PD (10 Gbps/100W) combo port. At this point, I am
pretty sure it is caused by the docking station 5Gbps upstream
speed. Therefore, I bought another docking station that support
USB-C upstream 10Gbps/100W with 2x HDMI 4K. All problems are gone
when it connects with the new docking station. By the way, the
USB-C cable come with the monitor only support 5Gbps/100W so that
I have to use my own USB-C cable. To sum up, it needs USB-C 3.2
DisplayPort/PD combo port (10 Gbps/100W) connection including the
USB-C cable and a 4K HDMI port and cable. Overall, this is a good
monitor.
