My LG monitors are dying with just a couple years use. I think they should check their quality standards as I probably will be looking at another brand for my next purchase.

If its not 4K 120hz with HDR 1000 then its probably a waste of time. Bring on some 43" BFGD's

Try samsung 🙂

Plenty of us haven't hopped on the 4K wagon yet due to performance issues 😉. The recent 4K monitors incapable of handling their listed specs (eg. PG27UQ) without compression has kept me away.

27GL850 sub 600 eur i would think of it.

Quite interesting that they turned some specs around for the 27", at first it had G-Sync and a 165Hz OC possibility. 600 to 650 would be a great price for these.

1ms eh?? on IPS did the manage to improve dramatically on the sub par blacks? those are reason why I dont want IPS

I like Samsung and I have a few. However they are known for having high input lag.

Not that I've seen. Now that I've been spoiled by AMOLED on my phone and LG's OLED on my TV the only thing I see when I use my monitor is subpar black levels.
I've been waiting for the ASUS/Acer FALD VA Ultrawides since 2017 - part of me thinks they might be cancelled but they were rumored to have a static 2500:1 contrast ratio which is much better than any IPS i've seen. With Mini/MicroLED coming up though I'm wondering if it's just worth waiting for that.

meanwhile my cheap 10 years old 22 inch 16:10 monitor is still my secondary although i had to repair it my self with a cheap 3 bucks soldering iron literally an iron with a power plug :P
if they open and then they shut down after showing picture for 1 or few seconds ...or opening and closing is the capacitors you can easily do a fix your self for like 1-2 bucks for the right capacitors .... fixed 8 monitors like that last 6-7 years ((not just lg ))

If they made that 27" 2K monitor with a MiniLED backlight with 1,000+ dimming zones this would be my new monitor.

Still better blacks than TN though.

I bought the very first gen 3440x1440 LG Ultrawide (probably like 7 years ago now?). Still going strong, I've never had any issues with it. No dead pixels, no light leaks, no power supply issues, etc. Obviously every panel is different but figured I'd add my anecdote as well.
When dropping *real* cash on a quality monitor like the ones in this article, you really want to find a local store to buy from or at least a vendor that will accept returns without hassle. I remember when these first came out it seemed like every other post had someone complaining about light bleed, so I was hesitant to buy anything until I was sure I'd be able to return it without issue if if I got a bunk panel too. Fortunately it has never had any issues, nor has another that I got for a family member.
That 38" 3840x1600 with G-Sync looks like a beauty.

Not sure what you are doing wrong then, I bought two 1080Ti MSI Gaming X the day they released, and has played 4K60 perfectly smooth for two years now, and its a blast on my home cinema TV. Sure, I tend to tweak by turning down things like AA and settings that blur the image, though with 90% of the settings on Ultra. Witcher 3, Wildlands etc. looks superior in 4K, as many games render with higher res on textures and distant objects when res goes up. Witcher 3 looks like a mosh in the distance at HD compared to 4K.. if your FPS suffer on the 2080 it must either be games not supporting SLI or you not making the small right tweaks.. like Wildlands has a few settings where on ultra you cant even tell the difference from high when comparing screenshots, still the difference might be 20fps. Go tweak it right and you will love the 4K 🙂 I bet hdr cost more than normal though, so that will add some fpsloss for you, my tv is early 4K before hdr, so I do regular 4K for now, waiting for microled before upgrade. I agree hdr is a game changer, though so was 4K in my opinion. 🙂

Veeery interested in that 38 inch. Really want to go ultrawide and that's not too far off 4k plus it's 175hz! It would be easier to run than 4k and look similar. Checking out reviews for sure.

Overpriced and I reckon they're having problems too. Plus, I don't like curved monitors and all "good" models are curved. I really have no idea what to try next.
Unfortunately I have no repairing skills. The repair I think it wouldn't be too hard, but what's hard is diagnosing what's wrong. I have a faulty Samsung monitor, I think it's the transformers for the backlight tubes. It takes two and they're expensive to replace. The other faulty monitor is an LG that has the menu system acting up. I can't even open the thing, there isn't any screw or tutorials online. I wouldn't be able to repair the board also. I guess I have no luck!
The panel I have now is the second one: the first had a row of vertical pixels die within the first 14 days of use.
Man, I don't know, but LG sucks in my book. First panel life was 5 years, second panel is giving backlight problems after 3 years and this panel was toasted within 14 days...bad luck?

Don´t scare Silva because i´ve spent 500€ on my LG monitor that so far has been amazing and i want it to continue this way another 10 years...

@Silva oh the menu most likely is not the capacitors , you do not need skills to change capacitors you can spot the faulty ones often they are bulging on the top and even leak at times , in general they seem to use the cheaper capacitors they can get away with, and the monitor you have to pry open ... carefully from the front you rise and twist the besels ! No matter how hard i try to explain there are a gazillion youtube videos to see how to open one will be much much more enlightening, it is how i open my first one !
Funny thing is i even accidentally rip off a connection port , but fear not i soldered the cables right where i broke the port ...and works still!
About the sumsung you do not loose much to recap it from what i understand is either caps , bad connection on the lamps that also some solder can fix but if the lamps are dead you are in a much more tricky situation , now if the backlight is led often they are connected in an array and if one led burns then everything goes dark ....and again you are kind of ascrewed sadly 🙁
Do not open monitors that are in warranty or a proper technician can fix it for a reasonable price! But if the repair cost does not worth it and you have nothing to loose go for it !

For me Samsung got the best picture quality from all brands, its like Samsung q-led vs LG oled tv.
Higher brightnes better hdr support, pure whites 🙂 LG is like above crushed blacks, bad qaulity control, and burn ins, and whites that look like vanilla.
LG is garbage.
Samsung even surpass Asus en Acer on the monitor market, they might be expensive but i want quality not quantity. Thats why Samsung is live xD

Samsung Qled TV
Samsung Was Machine
Samsung Q-led monitor
Love them 🙂
Many non europeans underestimate samsung they really doing well on the digital market.
O-led is also not made for gaming and oled is going to die slowly as well. Qled is the future.
Eduardo Cardenas
great, now let's buy an RTX 4080Ti Super to take full advantage of that monitor
