Some negatives I saw in the youtube comments:
-The fact that its matte and not glossy should be considered a crime.
-Something worth mentioning. This monitor is not full DP 2.1. It's UHBR13.5 instead of UHBR20. Meaning it doesn't have the bandwidth to run this monitor natively and will still be using DSC. It's a shame considering how expensive this thing is. But also like to mention. DSC vs native is very little loss in image quality, you really have to sit there and nit-pick everything. In the end, it's a beauty. I just wish LG didn't cheap out on us with the DP and it was glossy.
-There are different certifications of dp 2.1. There are Dp 2.1 UHBR 10(40gbps), Dp 2.1 UHBR 13.5(54gbps), and Dp 2.1 UHBR 20(80 gbps). LG confirmed with TFT central that it's using Dp 2.1 UHBR 13.5. To run this monitor without any compression at 5120x2160 @ 165hz, you need 60.18 Gbps. So ultimately, UHBR 13.5 doesn't have enough bandwidth to run this at native so it has to use DSC. I'm just giving you guys facts so you can make the right knowledgeable purchase. Up to you guys how you want to take the information.
-You should be getting full DP 2.1 bandwidth at this price point. Nevermind that, if you drop that kind of money on a monitor, you want it to be substantially "future proofed." Hard pass. I'll wait for the smaller models with full UHBR 20 support.
