Great, but flawed

I’ve had this monitor for approximately 1 week now. The change from IPS to OLED is easily noticeable as far as viewing angle and color accuracy. The sharp curve of this monitor was originally concerning to me, but actually something you adjust to quite quickly. The biggest problem with this monitor is the low PPI. 1440p is simply too low of a resolution for this screen size. That being said, when playing games it still feels like a 1440p panel rather than a 1080p 27in screen (similar PPI). I’m planning to upgrade to a 4K iteration in the future when they inevitably release, but until then this is quite enjoyable.

Recently installed this screen cover on two phones. Easy install and completely covers the screens, unlike the Zagg model I previously had. Price point is also great.

G-Sync at a more affordable price if you buy this monitor on sale! Got it for 170 off of list price! Comparable pricing to freesync monitors at that point but optimized for NVIDIA GPUs. Love it.

Zero in with LG UltraGear gaming. Meet the next-level of gaming thanks to an ultra-large 48~ OLED , low reflection monitor, for a game-changing, immersive experience. Experience lightning quick gaming with less than 1ms (GtG) Response time and 120Hz (O/C 138Hz) refresh rate on a display with brilliant color with a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio, so gamers willexperience games the way the creators intended. Both NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium compatible. Connect with HDMI 2.1 which provides higher bandwidth than HDMI 2.0 for vivid colors and high-resolution graphics.

Perfect Monitor For Me
By WhiplashPants
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.

Size issues?
October 2, 2022
Whiplash - I saw that you have a Secret Lab desk (I do as well), and I'm curious what you think of the size of the 48inch monitor relative to the desk? I have a 38 inch UW right now, but have been thinking of upgrading to this screen. Just a little concerned that it may be too big for FPS gaming at the sitting distance of the desk. Thanks!

Go solo in an epic race against time stuffed with danger and peril, or create teams of two to four adventurers for fun-packed party play as you work together to overcome nefarious tasks however you can imagine.
 

Can this be played online with other PS4 players and/or platforms?

I’m not sure if cross platform is going to be supported. I would imagine so, but currently online co-op isn’t even an option. The developer said they’re releasing it by the end of 2020. Me and a friend tried to play the other day and found this out :(
