Screen quality is very good. There is no screen bleeding when on black. The colors are awesome. I love that you can adjust a lot of things to have it exactly as you like it. Gaming is awesome with this too. While it is not 144hz, it still looks amazing. Most people can not even tell the difference anyways.
My only issue with it is that there is a blinking light when I turn off my computer. It basically signifies a standby mode. Basically, the monitor turns on when the computer gets turned on, which is how I like it. So on to why it is an issue. My monitor is in my bedroom and it annoys me when I try to go to sleep. I covered it up with a piece of duct tape and its fine now. That really is not a complaint, I am just picky.
Anyways, awesome monitor. Tons of usable work space. My girlfriend loves it too, which is annoying because she wants to use my computer every time she does homework and I am stuck with her laptop! It makes homework, task work, editing, etc so much easier. Some movies will have black bars at the edges, but I can live with that because when a movie goes full screen, it looks amazing! Highly recommend!

Its a good entry level monitor. I had problems with the stand but other then that its amazing out of the box.
I have had this monitor for almost 5 months now. I couldn't be happier with my panel. The on screen display is miles ahead of the competitors that still use the buttons on the bottom instead of the joy stick approach. Navigating is a breeze and I found myself in the menu more then I was on my old monitor. It's just so easy to go in and change from game mode into a dimmer reader mode. The speakers are really good for being monitor speakers. I overclocked my panel to 75htz no problem with freesync and it works like a dream. Its a really good monitor for the price especially for an ultrawide.
Cons:
The stand could be implemented way better. My friend got the 34 inch version with the one click release for the stand mount. If that would have been on this version it would be a huge upgrade. My stand was super wobbly and my screws broke off into my panel. Luckily I was able to get them out. If you keep with the stand I would recommend getting some higher quality screws from a hardware store. Especially if you move it a lot like I do.
The color accuracy of my panel wasn't the best out of the box but it wasn't terrible either. After I calibrated it I could use it for editing without an issue.
Conclusion:
This is a really good more wallet friendly ultrawide. If calibrated it can work for editing and has some really good real estate for it too. Very productivity friendly. I can write my college essays on one 3rd of the screen and have research on the other 2 3rds. Gaming is also a really good experience. If you find games with support for 21:9, you get an experience that you just can't get with 16:9. I can never go back to old boxy my old daily driver. I mean its 2017 in the current year its got to be ultrawide. Well I guess I'm just rambling now and sliding down a pole towards dank memes. I'll finish with this. This monitor has been everything I wanted in a monitor. I mea. its no x34 predator but its a start and its a pretty dang good one. You won't be disappointed. Tha tha tha thats all folks!!!!
However, the problems..which aren't all that much really. But I want to subtract a star as to bring attention to those who may be looking at this monitor and dreaming.
To start, I'd avoid getting it here. This thing arrived in a very massive box with just a tiny piece of paper for packing. So of course it was likely thrown about a lot inside. Thankfully LG packaged it properly and it wasn't damaged. But that is par for the course in my experience.
Starting up the monitor I found something curious, the color temp and just the overall contrast and sharpness of the image on screen was a mess. Actually gave me a headache till I finally got it adjusted. The "Game Mode"s that preset the color, brightness, contrast/etc, are not all that good. In fact I finally played around in the monitor's menu and found a photo mode. After turning down the brightness a little I found this mode to be the best on the eyes and also gave the best clarity for text and images. The other modes produced either poor color recreation or the text just became rather hard on the eyes.
Never had a monitor right out of the box be hard on the eyes for both light and text. Took a bit of tuning to resolve this.
Thankfully my headache went away after I got this screen adjusted. Keep in mind, you may have to also tune the color temp in your GPU's control panel. I found I had to drop from a 6500K to a 5300K from my old Viewsonic to this. If I didn't, the images had too much blue in them.
Documentation for doing a lot of this stuff is rather poor. In fact there really is none. You have to load the manual from the disk and it isn't the greatest.
This was a lot more work than I've had to do with other monitors where you just messed with color temp, brightness, contrast, and done. To make matters worse, the monitor doesn't tell you all the settings for some of the modes so if you want to enable more game oriented settings with the photo mode, you can't.
To have to fine tune both the monitor and the GPU so much was unexpected. I'm sure some users will not be happy with this and will likely return the monitor figuring it is broken from the start.
Next the split screen feature actually isn't all that handy. It literally reconfigures the windows on the screen to fit what you want. So when you come out of it, you have to rearrange them all over again. I actually found it easier to just manually configure the windows in the arrangement I wanted. With the amount of space on this it is very easy to do.
Unfortunately the issues with that mode don't end there. They actually crop up when loading some games as the monitor gets confused as to what mode it is in. I finally just turned off the monitor software and gave up on it.
Gaming performance is rather nice even when not in an actual "game mode" on the monitor. I don't really notice any extra view range like some note but it certainly is a very gorgeous display.
The question now comes down to, would I buy it again? My other option at the time was a 144Hz Viewsonic gaming monitor. To pick a 75Hz monitor over that was mostly because I have more uses than gaming for it and I needed the improvement in multitasking.
As a multitask monitor this is fantastic. I don't have room for dual monitors but I have room for this and it handles just like if I had two monitors.
As a gaming monitor, will I miss 144Hz? Frankly not really. I don't have a standard for that as I've never spent a lot of time with 144Hz monitors. Is this better than my 11yr old Viewsonic 20in? Of course.
So when it comes to buying it again, after taking into account the extra work to set it up, sure. But at full price I'd hesitate and look at other monitors. I jumped because this was on a 199 deal and at that price point it was a steal (I had been watching these ultrawides for some months so I knew how low they had been going), but at full 299+, I think I'd probably hold off. Maybe check competitors more. I have no history with LG panels so if this holds up as good as my old one, don't know. Viewsonic had always been alright to deal with when it came to repairs/etc. Guess I'll find out.
Great multitask monitor, great gaming monitor, not so great initial setup and tuning. Remember that if you start getting a headache on set up.
Top reviews from other countries
Gaming support for the resolution is actually very good, though there are a few games that I've had trouble getting to display properly. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the age of the game though. I've played Age of Empires III and it works perfectly. Fallout 4 refuses to display full screen no matter what I do. I wouldn't let that deter you from purchasing. The immersion while playing any game is really increased with the wider field of view. Performance impact using a GTX 970 was negligible compared to 1920 X 1080.
Colour and image quality is what you would expect with a monitor at this price point. Fine for gaming, but I suspect that photography geeks may want to look elsewhere. This monitor has the best U.I. I've ever used. A mini joystick on the bottom is also the power button. It sounds like a bad idea, but is actually very intuitive. You only have to use it once, and then you'll be able to make adjustments in the dark. Very glad I took the plunge into ultra wide.
