Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Vast 21:9 ultrawide workspace
  • 90W USB-C power delivery keeps laptops charged
  • Excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles
  • Includes Ethernet port for direct network connection
  • Versatile VESA mounting support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: the stand clicks into place, or you can use the 100x100mm VESA mount if you prefer a monitor arm. Ensure your desk is deep enough to accommodate the 260mm stand depth. To maintain the IPS panel, avoid using alcohol-based cleaners; simply wipe the surface gently with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. When connecting via USB-C, ensure your laptop's port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode to enable video signal output. For optimal performance, download the LG OnScreen Control software to manage window splitting and brightness settings directly from your desktop.
