New owner finds HDR too dark compared with their AW3423DW even after calibration.

“Just got this monitor coming from an AW3423DW and the HDR mode seems too dark.”
negative

Owner with a 3080 Ti over DisplayPort gets no signal at boot, though it works once logged in.

“if I try to boot up or restart with the cable plugged into the LG 45", it won't recognize the PC and instead displays a "NO SIGNAL" message.”

Owner's early banding faded over a few maintenance cycles.

“I had it bad on the first few days and it slowly went away. Now it's nice and even.”
positive

Owner's out-of-box banding was fixed by pixel cleaning and the panel now looks uniform.

“Mine had that too out of the box.. just run the pixel cleaning as mentioned in the quick start guide which fixed it.”
positive

New owner sees vertical banding and a large spot on grey screens and is likely returning it.

“I saw some vertical banding and a weird spot on my monitor.”

Coming from a 34-inch QD-OLED, the owner can see pixels in games at the recommended distance, though some games look clean.

“My main, and really only, grievance; is it's PPI.”
negative

New owner loves it and compares it to a mini IMAX.

“I love mine. Just got it on Saturday. It's like a mini imax is the best way I can describe it”
positive

Former owner got rid of it over low resolution and a meh matte coating, going back to a glossy LG C4.

“I got rid of it. The resolution is too poor for that monitor. Plus, the matte coating is meh.”
negativematte

After a year of work, music production and games without any burn-in precautions, the owner sees zero burn-in.

“I have used this display for just over a year now and its still absolutely perfect.”
positive

Coming from an LG 38GL950G, the owner was initially disappointed by text density and brightness, but finds gaming absolutely fantastic.

“after playing games on it I can say for gaming it is absolutely fantastic.”
positive

Owner of many OLEDs finds it the most immersive for gaming, with the 800R curve fitting the size, but text is barely passable for work.

“For gaming, I can say with confidence this is the most immersive monitor I've ever owned.”
