Pros: First off let me say that I have researched monitors for months, panel types and their attributes. I bought this as newegg dropped the price to around 330 at the time. This monitor is a solid all rounder. it hits the right marks for movie watching: nice contrast deep blacks and it does it so well I cant usually tell the difference between this and my IPS panel when directly in front of it. Gaming: it runs at actual 144hz, yes i tested using fraps and different games the colours are true, and the response time is amazing, i think it does make a difference even if you are a casual gamer. Once again i cant really tell the difference in colour quality compared to my IPS which is a 4k LG IPS when directly in front of it. Casual monitor use: Ive heard and seen reviews before about 32" @1440p not being ideal as you can see the pixels and to be perfectly frank if you manage to see pixels on this thing then you must have some sort of super sight. I sit between 1-2 ft away and its crisp @ 1440p resolution all windows icons and their names are crisp and clean. browsing is super as well as reading. Additionally my monitor arrived with no dead pixels, easy test is just to make a black image fullscreen and check for spots. No backlight bleeding of any sort and a big super plus for me is that the bezels are super thin. Great product overall and definitely a bargain for the price and build quality of the overall product considering the features included and I wont list them all you can just read in the description or on LG's site.
Cons: There is no USB C. Uses a powerbrick, i guess you can get one easily if this goes bad just look for the same input and output specs however everyone prefers a single power cord i guess. Viewing angles: Now to be fair viewing angles are not at all as bad as he research that i have done on VA Panels. My IPS tumps this obviously as it can be watched from the side without color or contrast loss. This panels stars looking washed out but its not bad unless you really go to the side. If you are worried about having a friend over and not seeing the screen, dont. even at the sides the colours are still great and it can be used for multiplayer.
Overall Review: Overall this is by far the best monitor in this price range, its affordable and performs well across all categories with features that trump most others in this price range and category. a definite solid buy. The cons dont take away from the experience of the monitor so im giving it 5 stars.
