Not at all, but I do enjoy watching movies and tv eps too and you get a lot of reflection with glossy.

would love to get some feedback on your time with 27UD58 once you have had it a while
They both have their place though and people should be given choice. In my office at work I could never get away with a glossy screen. At home in my den, the best screens I have had are glossy ones.
On that note, any eta on the updated version?: 27UD69P Also: 32UD89
Very interest in both of those, thanks!.
As someone considering moving from a <20ms 55" Sony TV to either a monitor 32"+ or a 65" 4k TV. I think the discussion has been valuable. As I've been trying to way up the merits of a monitor or a TV for gaming. I think I am generally moving towards a TV again.

Will do. So far it is better than I actually expected. The matte coating is no worse than my Dell P2715Q which is a big relief, still would much prefer glossy though of course
Looking froward to getting an AMD card to try Freesync in the near future.

27UD69P should be available sort of now! and 32UD89 might be next month if all goes well

With all due respect, OC can do one. It's $999, that's about £750~. I'll pass, and I hope no one else is stupid enough to fork out the cash for this either, absolute rip off.
The US does not have sales tax / VAT / GST at a Federal level, the UK does. This is why USD999 normally equates to £999 with exchange rates having hovered around 1.24, also remember the pound has only increased to £1.3 since the election announcement.

Okay, I'll bite.
I've been reading tons about this monitor and it's on my shortlist, but now that I (potentially) have an LG rep's attention...
I'm trying to decide between the AOC U3277PWQU, which has gotten pretty strong reviews and is being sold for $500USD, and this LG 32UD99-W, which I can get for $900USD (well, $1K - value of $100 store gift card).
I dabble a bit in photography, music notation (where a big screen with sharp rendering is critical), and casual gaming, and expect to do a moderate amount of "productivity" stuff (read: big spreadsheets side by side), so perhaps both monitors are overkill.
I don't play FPS, don't expect to watch much in the way of Netflix or HDR movie content in general (that's what huge TVs are for), and don't have a need for precise color rendering.
What I'm curious to get a sense for is this: given my expected use cases, would I basically be throwing my money away to upgrade to the LG? Or would I enjoy more crisp text, higher reliability, or something else pleasant/useful for the extra $400? The fact that I've not yet read much in the way of in-depth independent reviews has me a bit worried and frustrated.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I found a video of the 32UD99 in action on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBcTR0BXru4
Looks good but the price is still too expensive, especially considering you can pick up the Samsung UE43KS7500 for around £680.

@Daniel - LG any news on the stock availability of the LG 32UD99 or 32UD89?
Associate
Honestly - its not great - the 4K UHD panel and module shortage has hit 27" really hard, and that has meant that the 32" roll out has been pushed back a little - waiting for concrete Information from HQ

@Daniel - LG Any update?
Associate
from what I can see there is stock coming for August - its not 100% concrete but I am working with HQ to firm this up so we can start to supply
I wonder if the delay was to improve the display in any way, there is no mention of contrast ratio, which for HDR needs to be far above the 1:1300 of the best IPS panels and this can be achieved with local backlight dimming.
Associate
i think the delay is more to do with the shortage we are seeing on 4K UHD panels and modules - its crippling us on high end 27" 4k UHD, so I think its delayed the launch of the 32" versions
