I've had this monitor for about 2 months (purchased on Cyber Monday) and I'm still as in love with it as I was on day 1. I primarily use it for video editing with Adobe Premiere and other Adobe software. Although I often edit 4K content I have no problem with this monitor not actually being 4K. I use this monitor with my MacBook Pro via the USB - C port which is a FANTASTIC feature to have at this price point. Please note that you will have to get the proper USB - C cable if you'd like to do this as well. Fortunately, I already had this cable prior to purchasing.
Screen Real Estate - The 21:9 aspect ratio is nothing short of life-changing. It makes multi-tasking of any kind significantly better. When using Adobe Premiere, the very long timeline and space for windows make such a positive impact on your workflow. It has seriously made video editing more enjoyable. Additionally, it's so useful for non-editing purposes like Microsoft applications. In the past, I never used multi-tasking capabilities, but since I received this monitor I always used Safari side-by-side with Word documents or other things. I also often put live TV on one side of the monitor.
Color & Brightness - This monitor has seriously accurate colors. It comes with a calibration test that LG performed on it to make sure the colors are accurate. This is SO important for photo and video editors. You need to know what you'll be sharing with clients or on social media, and off-colors could be disastrous. This monitor is also EXTREMELY bright. I often keep it at about 50%, especially towards the later hours. It's fantastic to have such a powerful and bright display, however.
Software - The software for this television is pretty impressive! It has a PIP function, but I honestly don't use that. That's because Mac OS already makes it pretty easy to do PIP-like things. The app is super useful for changing the settings of the monitor on the fly, such as the brightness, contrast, profiles, etc.
Speakers - Unfortunately, I can't attest to the quality of the built-in speakers because I use a separate surround sound system. The fact that it has speakers is pretty sweet though!
The Negative - NONE... seriously though, this monitor has been great! I did originally think that it came with PIP between different inputs and unfortunately, it doesn't have that.
CONCLUSION - To conclude, I would highly recommend this monitor because of the positive impact it's made on my workflows and for an exceptional price. No, it's not the best quality screen in the world. However, as someone who nitpicks things like picture quality, I think it's beautiful. I have and will continue to recommend it to friends and co-workers. Lastly, this monitor makes you feel really cool which is really important!
