LG 27U631A-B 27-inch QHD 2560 x 1440 IPS Computer Monitor 100Hz 5ms HDR10 Reader Mode Flicker Safe HDMI

I bought three of these. I use one for regular computer use and use all three together when running stock trading charts. The displays look great and work really well independently as well as together, mostly because of the "borderless" frames. I'm so happy with them. The 2560x1440 size is basically a 2K monitor which is, unfortunately, becoming harder to find. I loved the 2K resolution on my old Apple Thunderbolt monitors and I wanted to replicate them, but 4K seemed to be the thing at the time. However, when I tried a 4K monitor, I found that it caused more eye strain so 2K ended up being the sweet spot for me. I'm very happy with the deep blacks, great resolution and good light control. I do a lot of design work on a Mac, but would be happy to use these monitors for that as well if I did not need a PC for charts. The price of these is actually pretty amazing as well. A couple of things to know: -- these use either HDMI (2x) or DP-IN cables, so make sure you have inputs for those types in your computer. -- the stands are not all the same height, so if you are using several monitors, they may not line up. It's close, but I personally would like it better if they were the same height since I extend my screen to span all three monitors as a virtual single screen. -- obviously make sure your graphics cards can handle 2K, especially if using multiple monitors. I'm very happy with these monitors. They were recommended by a friend who uses them for the same reason and he steered me well! Read more

The media could not be loaded. The LG 32 inch monitor boasts not only a vast screen space but also a plethora of settings allowing for fine-tuned customization. Right out of the box, it’s evident that it's designed to impress. But like many, I discovered that while its dazzling effects were immediate, taking the time to calibrate it further enhanced its performance. Relying on the RTINGS calibration guide, I managed to pinpoint settings that worked wonders for me – from adjusting the Black Stabilizer under Game Adjust to fine-tuning color values. But, let’s address an often-overlooked feature: screen brightness control on Windows and Mac. A revelation I recently came across was the monitor's compatibility with programs utilizing DDC/CI, such as TwinkleTray or ClickMonitor. This discovery was monumental. If you've lamented about the screen brightness not syncing natively with your operating system, these programs are the answer. Not only can you manipulate brightness levels, but also adjust contrast. A significant bonus is their ability to schedule brightness changes based on the time of day, catering to those sensitive to screen brightness, like me. This feature significantly reduced my eye strain, making prolonged work or gaming sessions much more comfortable. For Linux users, especially those using Ubuntu with Intel Graphics, there might be compatibility hiccups. However, solutions do exist, even if it means a slight investment in adapters or switches to different desktop environments. Performance-wise, this monitor stands out for both productivity applications and games that aren’t too demanding on refresh rates. FPS gamers might want to look into 120Hz or 144Hz monitors for smoother experiences. Still, for most, the LG 32 inch with its 2K resolution offers impeccable clarity and detail. The inclusion of multiple ports, especially 2 HDMI and 1 Display Port, enhances its versatility, making it suitable for those with multiple devices. In conclusion, the LG 27QN600-B 32 inch monitor is a testament to LG's commitment to delivering quality. It's perfect for diverse uses, from remote working to gaming. But as always, the key is in the details. Delve a little deeper, try some tweaks, and you might just find this monitor surpassing your initial expectations. Read more

This in an incredible monitor with a great picture. I love the 2560x1440 resolution. A much larger step up from my previous monitor/television's 1920x1200 maximum. The one gripe I must subtract a star for is that there is no InfraRed port so unlike my previous monitor/television I can no longer use a remote control to switch between the 2 HDMI ports like I used to do. So, my last hope was to use a software utility to perform the HDMI switching between 2 PCs. And that was a failure also because LG stuck me with a very old or incomplete version of the DDC/CI (MCCS) protocols for switching HDMI inputs through software. So, I'm stuck with only being able to switch ports manually using the physical joystick on/beneath the bottom bezel of the monitor. Not the end of the world but seems completely unnecessary to leave this small but convenient feature off a fairly premium monitor. How much more would it have added to the cost of this monitor to add an IR port or simply implement the latest version of DDC/CI (MCCS) protocols? You saved a buck and lost a star, LG. Your loss!

I would have given this monitor 4.5 stars if that were possible, simply because you can't adjust the height. They sell a very similar model that does allow such adjustments, but the additional cost is a bit much. Given that the height is fixed, they screen is quite lovely at either the default resolution or the lower 1080p, depending upon your video card's capabilities. I like that it has TWO HDMI ports, plus a legacy Display port, although I would have preferred either a DVI or VGA port instead of the Display port, simply because that is what my other computer has. I don't use this monitor for gaming at all, so I can't comment on how well it might work in that regard, but for all other types of computer uses, including photography editing, playing YouTube videos or doing work with spreadsheets or Word documents, it is very nice for the money. A small tip, I looked at this monitor on Amazon and it was $249. I waited a day and then ordered it with delivery set for the next day. The day it was delivered I went back to Amazon to check one of the specs and it had dropped in price about $25. Too late for me, but you might check on several days and see if the price fluctuates. This also happened to a TV I bought from Amazon, although luckily that time I got the lower price. Caveat emptor! Read more
