Phenomenal 4k Gaming/Productivity…

I'm a big fan of 2k screens but with limited space for multiple monitors I was eager to put the 32" 4k LG screen to the test. Initial hesitations starting to contemplate using this screen were mainly associated with driving the 4k screen sufficiently so my gaming wouldn't be affected but I've tried it with both a laptop running a 3060 and my 3080 on my desktop and both provide an amazing opportunity to use this screen upgrade over my old 27".
Top Notes:
1. The 32" is absolutely big, BUT they've engineered the support stand well in that the screen sets closer to the back edge of the stand. For anyone familiar with Asus screens, they're pretty forward sitting so with the LG I was able to play it closer to my back wall. Thus while it was a much larger screen, it didn't feel like as much of a difference in terms of desk space because the screen itself was further back.
2. 4k vs 2k screen - The screen real estate boost really has to be seen to be believed. While I could comfortably run two side by side windows on the 2k due to the increased resolution width, it felt a little crammed because of the height. With the LG 4k, I can run side by side and feel like I have an entire monitor's worth of info on each side vertically.
3. The overall setup of the back plugs was welcome. For whatever reason I have a hard time getting cables into the backs of monitors that place their receptacles on the bottom edge. In this case the LG has a back panel that you plug into. If I was wall mounting, I'd probably want a right angle DP or HDMI cable, but otherwise it was much easier to setup and get connected.
4. Gaming - wooooooooo boy. I've always enjoyed my screen for gaming but this really puts it on a whole different level. A quick run through on Diablo IV felt much more immersive and I didn't notice any graphical concerns despite a LOT of stuff going on in the game at times.
Overall it's really just a great gaming screen, off-axis viewing is still visible (it just dims slightly), and any concerns about brightness are satisfied as I had to turn down contrast/brightness out of the box because it was almost searing. Centralized controls via a single button in the bottom center of the screen allows settings changes and moving from inputs. Love this screen!
I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback. Thanks!
