Wow, this thing is wonderful. I purchased this after I had returned a Samsung curved monitor that arrived with splatters of dead pixels and I discovered that I did not enjoy the curved experience. I was worried this one might show up similarly damaged but NO, it was perfect! Zero dead pixels. It does include both an HDMI and a Displayport cable, which was awesome since other monitors usually come with one or the other. The cable management clip included is very welcomed. Putting the thing together was a breeze.
I played a few rounds of Overwatch, did some roaming around in Subnautica and some bot matches of CSGO as a test and all performed admirably. I have a Vega 64 and it was able to deliver a butter smooth experience on High settings with free sync on and no overclocking. PC MASTER RACE gaming elitists will say you're better off with a high refresh rate 2k monitor at this size but I performed just fine with solid FPS across the games I tried and it looked superb doing so. My skills did not suffer at 60hz and your experience probably won't either. You're probably not chasing Top 500 spots in competitive shooters for a Mountain Dew sponsorship and professional gaming career. If you have a more modest graphics card, you may have a different experience so look out for that.
The LG On-screen monitor control software is great! No more awkwardly fiddling around with a joystick to change monitor settings. Works for both Windows and Mac; you can find it on the included CD or download off the LG website with minimal searching if you don't have a CD drive. You can set it to automatically load a preferred profile based on your use; movie mode when opening a media player or photo mode when you open a graphic design program in both OS's so thats nice.
I use this with macOS as well and it looks superb, definitely a rival for the LG 5k Apple display. Color is great and fine for intermediate design work and content creation but isn't 100% Adobe RGB so if thats you're cup of tea, might need to look elsewhere. I was perfectly happy after a couple of easy tweaks for my use.
My only complaint is very small -- the included stand doesn't have a lot of tilt/height adjustments...but that's what VESA hardware is for. I was perfectly fine with it and would buy a VESA mount in the future if my needs change.
TLDR: 10/10 product for mixed use gaming and content creation, would buy a second one.
