Great Massive Monitor/TV…

This is a fantastic monitor if you need something to play multiple roles. The monitor itself runs the same webOS software as LG's TVs and you set it up just like you would the TV (remote and all) . There are also a number of apps that are available so you can stream without needing to be connected to a computer. The built in speakers are solid for built in speakers and as a TV it's a pretty good one. HDR10 is available and it can get very bright. It is an IPS screen so you won't be getting those OLED blacks, but it's very good for what it is.
I/O selection is good with USB-C and multiple HDMI plugs available. When plugging in my laptop, the monitor immediately shifted from the TV software to a mirror of it. I did some quick photoshop work to see how it would compare and it did well. It only covers 80% of DCI-P3 vs. 99% on my laptop, but I don't do any serious work that requires that much color accuracy and it looked good to me. Out of the box I'd say it is biased towards being contrasty, but I was able to tune it to be more similar to my laptop. Because of the sheer size of the monitor, it is great for productivity if you can sit far enough away from it. Given the size, I was able to have 4 large windows on the screen at once, however, if you're sitting too close you're going to be craning your neck to try to see content higher up. Overall, a great monitor for productivity and will easily replace dual monitor setups.
On the gaming front, the 43SQ700S-W is okay. Refresh speed is acceptable (5ms) but not as good as a dedicated gaming monitor. I tried this monitor with my gaming PC, PS5, and Switch and didn't have any issues with them. Switching between the different inputs was easy too.
All in all, this is a really good all-around monitor for a good price. The main selling point is the size of the screen and while you do have to sit a little further back to use it comfortably, if you have the space this is great. It functions well as a TV and a monitor and has the I/O to leave multiple things plugged in at all times. I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.
