I bought this monitor last time it was on sale at Walmart, like a month ago, and it's been great so far.

Quote from BlueCrown633 :
I got the MSI G274QPF from Costco for $150 and I'm happy with the display size; besides the larger/curved display, is it worth returning for this LG monitor? This has a slightly lower refresh rate but I'm wondering if the display quality is noticably better for $170 more.
I can really only tell displays apart if they're side by side so I'm unsure if this is a worthy upgrade considering they're both IPS.
Depends on what you are doing with your monitor. If you often do photo creation (Photoshop) then the ips would be a big deal because you WILL notice color inaccuracies if you're used to dealing with color palettes.

If you're a gamer, IPS has a slight edge in motion blur/less ghosting.

If you're into watching media content like movies the VA panel will be vastly superior due to its much better contrast ratio. Blacks look washed out on IPS. If you've ever used your monitor at night in a pitch black room you will really notice the greyness of an ips panel's black level.

If all you are using this monitor for is for computer work in Microsoft Excel/word/ etc either panel will work just fine.

I'm debating between this LG and ASRock phantom one as I'm purchasing this as a gift for my partner. Can you guys give some opinions?

usage: working/coding for ~8-10 hours, occasional gaming (Elden ring, re, etc). He also has both steam and switch so doesnt fully use the screen for gaming. he likes working in dark room though.

Lg: IPS panel, better brand name (hence more reliable?) , other specs similar to asrock. From reviews this one can get 160hz if use display port, which we don't have. With all cash back this comes down to $300. bit stretching with my budget though.

Asrock: va panel, seems to have solid reviews. Also better refresh rate (165hz) with hdmi. I purchased both gifts cards + cash back so total can come down to ~$150. pretty good deal.

So given usage , does this LG worth extra $150?

I do photography as a general hobby, not enough to know about sRGB levels or how to calibrate a monitor. I've been using my TV as a monitor for almost 3 years now and the first thing I noticed with the MSI monitor is that skin tones are pretty orange and reds are like pink compared to my TV.

If the LG is more color accurate then it would definitely be worth getting for me. But I don't even know what accuracy is, for all I know it could be that the MSI I have is more accurate than my TV

Yes I saw that Asrock too and the $150-190 price I've seen is very tempting as well. But I saw a couple videos comparing VSA to IPS to OLED panels and VA tends to have a smearing effect in high movement scenarios, but it does have better blacks in dark scenarios
OLED is best of both worlds, best blacks and high refresh rates. But expensiveeee

It is a tough choice. I currently have a Dell QD-OLED which is by far the best monitor technology in existence. It's stunning, really. But I use dual monitors and QD-OLED is high maintenance. My 2nd monitor is a VERY old IPS 34" ultrawide flat monitor (curved monitors weren't really a thing). I had a VA panel a REALLY long time ago and that was before they had curved VA panels too. Monitor technology has been very stagnant. Nothing has changed fundamentally for VA/IPS after all these years. They reached their maximum contrast ratios over a decade ago. Nano IPS does improve upon color accuracy though over a normal IPS panel. The biggest revolution in monitor technology is QD-OLED.

VA panels don't have as wide of a viewing angle as IPS panels. So looking at the monitor at off angles would cause some of the screen to look washed out. But that's what the curvature of these newer VA panels are supposed to solve. I'm currently looking to replace my old IPS monitor for a newer model. Price is a big factor to me and in my situation I mostly just need a monitor that does anything well other than gaming (since I'll do the gaming on the QD-OLED screen). So either VA or IPS works for me.

Now, if you're ever going to be standing behind your partner to view a game together, a movie, etc. Forget about VA. Get the IPS. Everyone will be able to view the screen without it looking washed out. If the only person that will ever look at the screen is the primary user, the curved VA will be fine for them.

This screen is "NANO" IPS which is superior to normal IPS panels. This is a premium monitor. It cost like $700+ when it first came out. It is tempting. If you're only going to use 1 screen to do everything, IPS is a good choice (gaming/productivity/entertainment). In my case a two monitor setup makes me more productive and I can split the use case of the monitors in half (one monitor is for gaming/movie watching the other is for productivity). But both can be used for productivity if I need it (doing photo editing work on the QD-OLED while having slickdeal's page open on the other monitor Wink)

Thanks for the super review! I guess this lg seems to make more sense if I'm looking to upgrade his 5 years Samsung jg50 27".

The review about standing behind my partner is totally relatable as I like watching him play games sometimes.

Also last question, I did read something about dead/stuck pixels for this one after 2,3 years in some reviews so I'm thinking getting walmart protection plan. does it do anything?

Those warranties won't cover dead pixels. It would have to be a complete failure of the panel. Another alternative is to use a credit card/debit card that adds an extra year of warranty to your purchase. You'll have to see what cards you have and see if that is one of the perks. One of my visa debit cards has 1 year warranty on all purchases. I asked Google's a.i. and it said many credit cards offer it as a perk (specific American Express, chase, capital one, visa cards, etc)

If it's worth it I wouldn't mind but if the specs are so minimal to decipher tha. I rather save. Just wondering if it's worth it or Dell which I think is a great deal as well

I'm running dual 27" Samsung G5s.
General computer use, I like it just fine. It's the gaming aspect where I wish could look center and have a wider view.
