Right out of the box, you can tell that this is a quality product from LG. Very easy to connect stand to monitor, and ready to plug and play in under ten minutes. I do recommend having someone else help you unbox as the monitor is obviously massive and cumbersome for one person.
The display itself is extremely crisp and features a lot of on board options for picture settings, and other neat features such as a FPS counter and permanent crosshair for shooting games.
HDR is often an afterthought on computer monitors, and this one has a high enough NIT for me to finally be able to enjoy HDR gaming.
Also, the 240hz refresh rate is buttery smooth. While you would need a pretty serious gaming setup to enjoy the 240hz display on most major AAA titles, you can still receive the awesome benefit during regular windows use and lighter games.
Calibration out of the box was a little on the dim side for my liking, but again, easy to set up and change in the actual monitor settings, which is accessed by a single four way directional button directly beneath the monitor.
One of the main complaints of 32:9 ratio is that your eyes end up doing a lot of traveling. This is combated by LG by offering a very aggressive curvature, so while still massive, it isn't as much of a chore to quickly glance from one side of the screen to the other.
While I use this display primarily for gaming, having four windows open at once for work is extremely satisfying. I use Excel a lot and being able to see a wide range of columns without scrolling is very convenient.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the display and would recommend to anyone looking to jump into the 32:9 ratio game. In gaming, we had huge jumps in graphics and features in gaming from each generation to the other. If you're like me and feel like everything has been mostly the same over the past decade- this display will give you that same feeling as a kid when you got the newest gaming system. Completely revolutionary and a welcome game-changer.
