LCD monitor

Good8/10Mid-range

LG builds its own panels and offers one of the broadest ranges, from cheap IPS office screens to leading UltraGear OLEDs. Reviewers rate its gaming OLEDs highly, with text clarity on WOLED the most common caveat.

Good at

  • Makes its own panels: WOLED and fast IPS across many sizes
  • UltraGear OLEDs hold black levels well in bright rooms
  • Dual-mode OLEDs switch between 4K and high-refresh 1080p
  • UltraFine models suit Mac users (5K, Thunderbolt)

Weak at

  • WOLED subpixel layout can cause text colour fringing
  • IPS glow and backlight bleed vary unit to unit
  • Entry models have basic tilt-only stands
