I'm planning to get a new desktop computer and decided to get a new monitor as the first step. I've been using a 21" Acer 1080 x 1920 monitor at home (which this monitor will replace) and a HP DreamColor monitor at work. The difference in quality between this monitor and the ones I have been using is like night and day. In addition to having a beautiful 4K display, the user interface on this monitor is great. Instead of having an array of buttons it has a single combination joystick/button on the bottom turns the monitor on and off and allows you to navigate the menus and control the sound level. The menus are very well designed and intuitive and include several pre-programmed modes such as reading, photo, cinema, and several game modes. At first I used photo mode for everything but now I'm primarily using the reader mode. The reader mode has a reddish cast and looks relatively unattractive at first but I've found it to be easier on my eyes for day-to-day computer work. The DisplayPort input works great with my HP notebook which supports 4K video out over DP. The HDMI input works great with my Acer laptop but unfortunately that notebook only supports 1080 x 1920. The monitor looks great too. The display is surrounded by a very thin aluminum edge, with a small black section with an LG logo at the bottom. Overall a really great monitor.
BTW, I bought an open-box monitor which was available via Prime for about $120 less than the best new offer. It looks like the monitor was returned because a screw was missing from the base which made it unstable. I bought a replacement M4 screw at Home Depot which completely fixed the problem. The DP cable was also missing but I wasn't too concerned about that considering how much I saved. I bought a new one from Amazon for about $10. Still more than $100 savings for an otherwise perfect monitor.
