I'm just really impressed with LG products in general lately. I've had an LG plasma for a couple years now that I love, and I recently got my wife a LG G2 phone, and it's pretty damn awesome too(amazing screen and great battery life). I'm thinking I'm starting to like them more than Samsung. After a Samsung monitor that crapped out on me after just a couple years and my Samsung Galaxy S4 randomly breaking for no apparent reason, I may go LG on most of my electronics from now on(even though I do have a Samsung Note 3 that I love now)

My Dad has that 70" LG Aquos or whatever (?) that apparently he got bored one day being retired and decided he needed... but I digress. It looked great and in his room setup which is comparable to mine has made me reconsider my Samsung. It was the top of the line plasma a few years back (C8000?) so isn't suffering from quality or anything, just size and my living room / general tv area just isn't a projector space.

All my computer monitors are LG and one of my two TVs is a LG plasma. I like them all. I've been considering getting these as well:
Amazon.com: LG 34UM95 34 Accessories
Supposedly the best computer monitor basically ever lol.

Maybe for looks, but its still a 60hz.
Once you've gone 120 and above you never want to go back to that archaic shit. Giving up a slight image degrade is not even close to the smoothness you get from the higher hertz monitors.

Maybe if all you do is watch porn on it...
For everyone else that games, and such 1080p at 120-144 hz is the sweet spot.
Not only is screen tearing a thing of the past, the frame smoothing makes everything look way more solid, and it's easier on your eyes.

Im the opposite, I switched from multi monitor gaming to a single 1440p because I couldn't stand the bezels breaking up the screens. I still have multiple monitors, but I only game on the 1440p at 120hz

I've had my LG tv for about 5 years now and it's still going strong. My only real complaint with it is when dark scenes come on the TV tries to auto-adjust and darkens the screen. You can't turn it off. Worst design decision ever. It's annoying in dark movies/shows.

They still have that on the new TVs, but thankfully you can turn it off now. That's one of the first things I did. Screw you power-saving mode! It's a goddamn LED, even at full brightness it's using nowhere near the power of my Plasma, or my PC, I don't see the need for a power saving mode on an LED.

same, I have about a dozen 21-27" monitors scattered around and nearly a dozen 55-70" TVs (big house) and I run on my gaming PC dual 27" 1440p 120hz korean monitors and a 60" Samsung. All on a old Nvidia 680, get 60+ fps most games at 1440p. I game on a single 1440p, use the second 1440p as a extra browser monitor for gaming, and have the 60" for movies and TV shows and ps4. I find it way, way, way better than trying to do multi-display gaming, the bezels are distracting as fuck and its cool once or twice to have a triple display Skyrim or whatever, but after that you are looking at your center screen 99% of the time.
BF4 is cool though, you can play the game on your main monitor and have in a full screen browser window on the other window the battlemap, so you can see where everyone is, objectives, etc. Honestly though after three or four times you never even look at the second monitor. BF4 is also one of the very few games that lets you change your primary display, its pretty cool sometimes sitting on the couch and playing with a controller on the 60" TV.

I don't know how you guys focus on the bezels. Maybe I don't have that problem because I'm using 32" monitors but I never really see them ever. I have to try to see them. If you're focusing on the game as you should you'll never notice them. You just can't beat the extra real estate imo, especially in FPS games.

Yeah, I mean the option to turn that off seems so basic that you have to wonder what the hell they were thinking. In certain movies/shows it is truly unbearable (GoT in dark scenes pisses me off).
There must be a way to turn it off in the service mode.
My TV has it. but I can turn it off from the regular menus.

If you know a way, I'll blow your dick. I looked it up for awhile, but I had trouble finding much info. I shave my face daily so don't worry about a prickly beard.

I was using 28" 1200p Monitors, but they were all LCD, so the bezels were a solid inch thick. Put them side-by-side are you're talking 2 inches of bezel inbetween the screens. It was very noticeable. I even pulled the plastic casing off of my monitors and just went down to the bare metal framing and it was still a solid inch of metal between the screens with 2 of them together(and that was actually worse because the shiny metal reflected colors from the screens, rather than the black plastic, so the smaller metal was almost more distracting).
I dunno, maybe I sit too far back from them. They're mounted on a stand on the back of my desk, and I often lean back in my computer chair, so we're probably talking a good 3 feet back from the monitors, my face wasn't right up in them

Is it an LED? You want to look for info regarding local dimming. Model number would help investigations.
