Nice! Welcome to the club :cool:

And yeah still don't get all the fuss for 4k monitors atm:

- price - majority are TN, a few IPS but they cost an absolute fortune, rather get a top end TV for that sort of price....
- quite a few problems with them
- need at least 2 top end GPUs to run games on high settings at acceptable FPS
- 4k res. is a bit pointless for monitors smaller than 34" imo


BTW snips, maybe get the thread title changed a bit? no need to have the widescreen part repeated twice imo :p

Something like this instead?

Ok, its been a few days so i thought i'd post my very amateur opinions on it :p

I was worried to begin with that lots of games i play would not display properly at 2560x1080. So far i've played these games with no issues...

Men of war assault squad
Sniper Elite 3
Kerbal space program
Bioshock infinite
Chivalry : medieval warfare
PvZ Garden warfare

The colours are excellent, no blurring and i have my monitor set to 10 brightness, plenty enough for me. I'd go as far to say that i wish i went super wideboy earlier.

Love it!!!

Got mine today, extremely impressed so far, not check for bleeding or ips glow, what's the best way to test?

Cancel my last, room is still far to bright to get a decent pic, will sort it tonight when it's dark.

My brightness level was maxed out by default at 100, is that bad? can you guys recommend ideal settings for games and movies please?

100 is high and will no doubt damage your eyes. I'm running mine at 13 and so far so good :)

Unlucky :(

BTW seen your post in the other lg thread, that lg calibrator won't work with our monitors.

Shame!!!

I've also had a really annoying issue with the brightness profile switching between factory set & my custom settings when watching films. Most annoying and I've emailed LG CS.

Not impressed as my monitor has pretty much no backlight bleed & minimal IPS bleed at 50% brightness :(
 
Well there's a depressing end to my monitor saga!

Received this from LG today:
