Question 1

Does the monitor have speakers?

Accepted Answer

yes they do. although i wouldnt use them as a primary speaker.  Since this is designed for PC gaming, i would suggest a good headset or table speakers.

Question 2

Would this be a good monitor for PS4 gaming? That will be my main purpose. I play ALOT of FIFA. Would anybody recommend this for console gaming?

Accepted Answer

The ultrawide 34" or regular widescreen 27" models might be better for that.  I have the 29" model and really like it, but I mostly use it for strategy games and work.  The multi-screen format makes it a great alternative to dual monitors, and good for video editing.  The last console-type game I played on it was Witcher 2, which didn't support ultra-wide format.

Question 3

Refresh Rate?

Accepted Answer

60Hz via HDMI and 75Hz using DisplayPort. You can force 75Hz on the former but it will eventually revert to 60Hz at some point. Better off using DP anyway and getting FreeSync.

Question 4

Can I install headphone into this monitor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can there is a headphone out put on the back of the monitor, but I did not test it.

Question 5

What is the refresh rate on this monitor? 60hz?

Accepted Answer

HDMI will only do 60HZ reliably. Upgraded to a display port and it now has been running at 75HZ with no issue for the past few months.

Question 6

What's the refresh rate? So called gaming monitor...

Accepted Answer

75hz when used with an AMD card and freesync enabled, standard 60hz otherwise.

Question 7

Can I take the red off? If only it didn't have the red.

Accepted Answer

You might be able to pry it off. It is certainly an add on but I think it may be holding the two legs together so probably not going to be a great call. You could always throw some electrical tape over it if you find it a huge issue. I really don't notice it since the monitor sits far enough off the ground with the stand height that I rarely am looking down at the stand but if you are trying to tie a color theme together, it may throw it off.

Question 8

what is the mhz on this?. it doesnt say

Accepted Answer

mhz? If you're asking about the refresh rate then it's 60 Hz unless you put the monitor into gaming mode, then 75 Hz

Question 9

I'm curious about the 4 Screen Split. Would it work if two computers were connected, showing the output of both side by side? I occasionally use a second PC in my gaming and would like to know if this could replace a second monitor.

Accepted Answer

2 inputs from 2 different sources can be used. There are a few youtube videos on using "duel controllers" for LG monitors. Enter an answer to this question.

Question 10

Does this actually have DisplayPort as the description states?  The pictures show 2 HDMI.  No information available yet on LG's website.

Accepted Answer

LG updated their website saying it includes HDMI, Display Portand USB-C. I also believe the picture of the back of this monitor on LG's and newegg's website is incorrect as there's a video on the Tech2 hu youtube channel from the 8th of March showing off the monitor and they include a shot of the back showing the correct ports.
