And here we have an example of why dislikes need to be shown. Someone might acutually take this advise seriously, when in reality it's virtually all user error or not understanding what you've actually bought. Do us all a favour and change that title, not only is it click bait it's just plain rubbish.
I can agree here. The "Issues" mentioned are just plain DUMB. The stand? Like dude.. most of these Stands have problems with angled Desks LOL! And taking advantage of the ports on the screen.. like really? So its actually a good monitor.. For productivity its pretty good. And yea.. this is a good example why we need dislike counts XD
Dude, change the title of your video. You break down the product in the title with clickbait and in the video the biggest problems you have with the screen could all been detected if you did some research before making the purchase... I also still get the feeling that you think it's a decent screen, which does not match your clickbait title at all...
You cant say thats a negative of the monitor to attach to your desk..you would be in the same position for any monitor arm. If you don't want the arm don't get one.
Sorry, I understand the urge to create contents, but come on.... I own this TV for 6 months+ 1. My HDR doesn't go green when it switches(I have a PS5), probably your own unit is faulty 2. I understand the clamp issue, a clamp can't be perfect for all users 3. I can turn my monitor vertically with no issue 4. It doesn't make much sense to compare the monitor picture by picture to an ultra wide monitor that is about 3 times of the price I don't understand really, aside the the Eve spectrum monitor that takes about 5 months for delivery, I don't think you can get a better monitor within $700 pricepoint that is better than this Ultrafine Ergo if you are a MacBook user....my PC,Macbook and Ps5 are connected to this monitor, no issue
I was wondering hows the text sharpness on this monitor, and when you swap the usb-c from one computer to the other (would be windows laptop into macbook or vice versa, for me) does it instantly change to the monitor, i have read people had issues with mac minis plugging the usb-c in an needing to restart the mac? planning to get this just need some answer on the usb-c :D
@@willy7968 so basically dwaping the USB c works fine then with macbooks. Sounds encouraging, I guess I get it next week, I mainly plan to use it for coding so o hope text looks fine on it.
This is actually an easy fix for the HDR not showing your game. You actually have to turn HDR off on the monitor prior to loading your game because your games preference is still set to SDR, this will display a blank screen as you see because the monitor itself is set to HDR not SDR. Once you change the games visual from SDR to HDR you can then change the monitors setting to HDR and it will work just fine.
After watching this video, I have just finally decided to buy it :) Good image quality, no need for vesa, enough for gaming (44 60HZ and 5ms)...I think that for a multipurpose monitor, that´s what I´m lookin for (photo / video editing + gaming + multimedia) it´s perfect
Yo my guy I always appreciate people taking the time to make content but I think some of your issues with the monitor are user error and or a faulty device. You gotta know what you are buying. The issue with the monitor arm? The only issue I've had was I wasn't too happy with the color accuracy but that took 5 mins to fix.
Just want to mention that the brightness is absolutely fine for serious editing and colour grading. If you need more, your room is way to bright for accurate work. My monitors max out at about 400 and after calibration they run at less than 50% brightness.
i got the monitor and for me to code it is actually partly too bright. i had an eizo before and since eizo also uses the lg panel i thought it would not be a problem but the eizo i could set much darker. will probably change the lg but as i said only because it is too bright. otherwise everything is top. if someone has an idea how i can get the monitor a tad darker it will stay. flux is already installed.
Clearly a faulty unit in regards to the HDR issue. This is obviously not for every unit. Some of the issues you raised are totally pointless to raise and just seems like you're mentioning it for the sake of content and views.
Productivity means color accuracy (which is insanely good btw), build quality and resolution. This is for photo/ video editors people not gamers or TV watching.
Thank you for this comment! Just bought this monitor for editing and music production, and this stupid clickbait title got me scared... thanks for reassuring me!
Do you own this monitor? I am looking to buy one since it's one of the very few that have a polarizer layer that should eliminate the IPS glow at angles... can you confirm this?
This is the dumbest monitor review i have ever watch, and one of the main reason we should have the dislike count back. The ergo stand has problem has issue? It is a clamp, you should make sure you have a suitable desk to use it. 🙄
I read the title and thought I would get serious review. While watching I already noticed the lag of technical knowledge especially for display reviews and when I went to the comments I was very glad to see that almost everyone was writing what I had thought. Totally agree that downvotes should be visible again for content like this. Quality of the video, editing and voice performances was very good though.
just to be clear. LG says that it supports HDR content. They did some software magic to make the screen pretend that its showing you HDR. I don't see official HDR Display standard (set by VESA) anywhere for this device. Even HDR400 (the lowest HDR display standard) requires 400 nits of brightness. So don't be surprised if this doesn't support real HDR.
No, it was a user error. You have to change your gaming settings to HDR first before you switch to HDR. His was still in SDR mode that’s why it showed a gray screen.
The title of your video has been reported to LG and I heard their law office are looking into it. Be prepared to pay millions. If I were you I'll take off immediately.
Had a bit of hard time finding what is so wrong with it related to productivity. You showed up some important points but they seem very specific to generalize the blame TO the monitor only.
in a Nutshell, because you have criticized the bad side of this monitor based on things that are specifically bad for YOU. I was able to ignore that part and keep with the good side of it. I bought the monitor after watching your video and I am happy with it until now. In fact, I am thinking about getting a second one. The Support is amazing. My table is not a good table for this kind of support/clamp, since the edges are angled, but it worked well in the end.
This kind of video pisses me off. I JUST care about feedback on productivity, screen real estate usage, legibility of various text sizes. This is anything but.
The clamp issue is a none issue. One needs to do their research before buying something. Don't like the clamp, get a different desk or a monitor with a stand. Don't blame the mfg because your desk is ill designed to work with this mounting system. As for hdr, no issues here with windows switching back and forth. I believe there was a setting for this in the monitor config to auto switch.
You’re an idiot for this one. Poor stand design is not excusable for a $700 monitor. If I can spend $40 to get a different VESA mount that is compatible with any desk AND have more adjustability than the original stand? That’s a joke.
Well, this is a misleading video title. In your video there only seems one issue that is the HDR issue you talked about at the start. The rest of the things you mentioned should not be the reason for anyone NOT buying this great display.
I need to correct you on the part where you mention the stand 2mins into the review. This stand will allow you to upgrade into a 34' with no problem - I just did this with my wifes 27' LG ergo monitor and she is now using the LG 34wn780-b on the same stand. I've used the extra stand for my own LG 34GP950G-B and it works perfectly there as well ..
Im sorry but your review is a bit confusing. Firstly, I agree with juicej45, I believe your issue is a User Error. I literally plugged my Xbox Series S in today and got the same "HDR" pop up in the upper right hand corner.... difference is, mine worked. No grey screen. Try a using a different HDMI cable. Secondly, you've praised this monitor in many ways however, you didn't provide really any "Productivity" issues, (unless I missed that part). Thirdly, your message says "WARNING!! DON"T BUY an LG 32" 4K UltraFine Ergo for Productivity!" You're providing affiliate links to BUY the 32" 4K UltraFine Ergo monitor seems a bit contradictory lol. I love this monitor. I have it hooked up to a USB 3 dock and all it takes is to plug in my TB4 cable into my 14" MacBook Pro and I'm up and running, as well as my Monitor Lamp, ext drives, and monitor. Anyway, for everyone else watching this, take this review with a grain of salt.
I have a setup with Dell U4021qw + this LG 32-880 in portrait mode, since the U4021qw is essentially a 32" stretched to 21:9, they can display the identical font size if they are in the same scale ratio. I definitely love them. both monitors are connected to my macbook M1 pro and my Alienware R13 with 3080.
@@o0tosci0o LG 880 32 ego stand is $499 occasionally in Costco, make it one of the best deal. U4021qw is just too expensive right now, and the brightness is not so good neither. in practical, I would recommend dual 32 LG 4k. and dual 4k can be connected to a single thunderbolt 3 dock which is also a plus.
The guy obviously didn't do any research or read the specs before hand. I mean the problem with the mount, it clearly shows in one of the product videos what issues you might have.
I agree - computer monitors are not built for your xbox and playstation. Most people would use them for productivity. But great video, fast paced, exactly how I like my videos! I WILL DESCRIBE, even though I don't agree with you on many of your opinions, but this is a great short review!!!
so you're telling people do not buy it because it didn't meet your VERY specific requirements even though for the vast majority of people it actually is a great monitor for productivity? come on! BTW for people unable to see likes/dislikes ratio it is now (Dec 17 2022) Likes:631 / Dislikes: 1.1K (including mine)
The reason why you are wathching everything in SDR is because the HDMI is 2.0, that doesn´t support HDR only HMDI 2.1 supports HDR Native or if you use the Displayport (in this monitor is 1.4) it supports native HDR to 10 bits, that´s the reason why this monitor include HDR Effect, if you are playing with HDMI port you must tunr on this effect mode, I have the same monitor and I have discovered this, only I hate it doesn´t have HDMI 2.1
Who got a desk with a backboard or angeled edges? NO ONE! And there is no problem with HDR on this monitor or the 32GQ950 that I use side-by-side with it. I use SDR in desktop and set HRD in a game and when I start the game it should switch to HDR automatic.
1. no one is buying a 60Hz $700 monitor to game on. 2. There is No problem with the way it mounts, you don't buy a mount like this if it won't work with your desk. Just see Vieled's remarks. 100% spot on. Terrible video. thumbs down.
For your purpose you should buy a DualUp. Also, the silly bit about desk clamps.... You should have thought about that before you bought this. Personally I have FIVE desk clamps at the back of my desk. Also, it comes with a grommet to screw in your desk if you want to keep the backboard. If you don't want to screw anything in your desk then remove the silly functionally pointless backboard - and get a DualUp. And if you don't want both, get over your high horse and stop complaining!
"for Productivity" Talks more about gaming-issues and installmentwarnings than Productivity. On top of that, they aren't all legit problems. Clickbait title.
The only thing he complains about that is even remotely related to productivity, is the PiP functionality. Even for this he talks about showing his gaming consoles side-by-side... on a 16:9 screen. What a joke.
Not true, my PS5 plays perfectly with HDR and everything else works as expected and it does it very well, it's a very bright monitor it connects my MacBook M1 pro 14 inch and powers/charges it too, it also suffers no light bleed at the edges and has very accurate colour reproduction making it an excellent choice for video editing or photographers it's the best monitor I ever bought
wrong information, there is NO picture-by-picture functionality in this monitor whatsoever. You can not get it by using on-screen controller app either. So simply not available. I was about to purchase it thinking I can install the on-screen controller app on my both devices and use split-screen functionality from two different sources. However, I verified from multiple sources (including LG customer service) that PBP is not supported by this monitor at all.
If you have a desk, where you can't mount a monitor arm, don't buy a monitor with an monitor arm, that is the most weird argument, I have heard for a while, it like if you shoe size is 10, then size 7 shoes won' fit. So don't buy these size 7 shoes.
Nonsense review. I have this monitor and experience none of the at times self made issues you seem to have with it. Its a fantastic monitor and there is nothing wrong at all with the Ergo stand. Puzzling review. Very puzzling.
Dude went on blaming this product for his own personal issues. This is a perfect monitor for productivity by far; so many features straight out of the box. Completely false and Misleading review. There are many other in-depth review videos. please check those to make up your mind, not this one. I wish they bring back the dislike numbers.
Guys who compare Dual up with UltraFine, please also compare QHD and 4K. I also compared this ones, and bought two 4k UltraFine monitors. Do not listen anybody, just buy it))
Come on man, HDR doesnt mean productivity , HDR10 is entry rating, also ,literally the mouting is pretty standard, change your table. ( and no,monitor mounting doesnt mean productivity as well), i didnt watch the rest
Video about user error. HDR 4k content - User either failed to change the settings in his games consoles or had incompatible cables. Desk stand - I just laughed at this complaint as it is so incredibly stupid. You can't blame LG for not DYOR!
This video shows why RUclips needs to reactivate dislike counts. XD The reasons why you shouldnt buy this monitor, are hilarious! Sorry kid, but I can't take you serious.
You clearly just have a problem with the monitor. From yourtittle to all else you were being dramatically negative. Even the good things, you make sound negative. Its a very good monitor, if you want to do all the bells and whistles of a premium monitor, spend the extra $500, otherwise dont spend time criticising good tech.
I agree about the stand,most of us have angles/bevel edges and i have table hole but that is for Wires, Not for Stand.Thanks for the review..ignore the haters
* Your review does not fit the title. misleading!! * Is all about gaming. * Desk setup is already shown in pics before you buy * Just negativity! and wasting our time with misleaded title!!
its a shame the video is so terribly written cus the editing and picture quality is astounding but sorry to say a lot of this is your own fault for not fully understanding the product
Does anyone know how I can update the firmware on this monitor? Ben mentioned that he had gone through the process but I cannot just find a way to do it. There is just a useless on screen control software that can be downloaded from lg website or App Store that literally does nothing firmware wise. I am having issues with my USB C port and thought a firmware update might get rid of the issue
Ill take the rest but the arm? Seriously? U can use it with a backboard . I mean Oh i can’t put my iPhone in my jeans with sealed pockets, this is HUGE problem, Apple hv to fix it
The many facepalms provoked by this video could provide the world a lifetime of free energy. You clearly needed PBP and LG's website states that this monitor has no PBP. Don't be lazy, do some basic research. Don't complain about non existing problems. Gaming does not equal productivity for about 99,9999% of the world, and by the way, this is not a gaming monitor.
I just bought this monitor to connect with a Intel mini mac (2020). The whites were greyish, the blacks were grey, the monitor was less bright. No amount of adjustments could help. Looked like garbage next to my 27" iMac retina. I wanted to love this monitor but it was so inferior to the iMac retina

The only thing he complains about that is even remotely related to productivity, is the PiP functionality. Even for this he talks about showing his gaming consoles side-by-side... on a 16:9 screen. What a joke.
Dude, you need to update your title to

Not true, my PS5 plays perfectly with HDR and everything else works as expected and it does it very well, it's a very bright monitor it connects my MacBook M1 pro 14 inch and powers/charges it too, it also suffers no light bleed at the edges and has very accurate colour reproduction making it an excellent choice for video editing or photographers it's the best monitor I ever bought
wrong information, there is NO picture-by-picture functionality in this monitor whatsoever. You can not get it by using on-screen controller app either. So simply not available. I was about to purchase it thinking I can install the on-screen controller app on my both devices and use split-screen functionality from two different sources. However, I verified from multiple sources (including LG customer service) that PBP is not supported by this monitor at all.
If you have a desk, where you can't mount a monitor arm, don't buy a monitor with an monitor arm, that is the most weird argument, I have heard for a while, it like if you shoe size is 10, then size 7 shoes won' fit. So don't buy these size 7 shoes.
Nonsense review. I have this monitor and experience none of the at times self made issues you seem to have with it. Its a fantastic monitor and there is nothing wrong at all with the Ergo stand. Puzzling review. Very puzzling.
Dude went on blaming this product for his own personal issues.
This is a perfect monitor for productivity by far; so many features straight out of the box. Completely false and Misleading review.
There are many other in-depth review videos. please check those to make up your mind, not this one.
I wish they bring back the dislike numbers.
Sorry but dude, pick up a dictionary and look up the words productivity and gaming. Your video title is BS and your content is weak!
Click bait title.
Guys who compare Dual up with UltraFine, please also compare QHD and 4K. I also compared this ones, and bought two 4k UltraFine monitors. Do not listen anybody, just buy it))
Come on man, HDR doesnt mean productivity , HDR10 is entry rating, also ,literally the mouting is pretty standard, change your table. ( and no,monitor mounting doesnt mean productivity as well), i didnt watch the rest
Every review said this is not for gamers? Why would you buy it for gaming?
Video about user error.
HDR 4k content - User either failed to change the settings in his games consoles or had incompatible cables.
Desk stand - I just laughed at this complaint as it is so incredibly stupid. You can't blame LG for not DYOR!
Click bait. Don’t waste your time.
This LG monitor uses a BOE panel. For LG panels, it's better to go for Dell U3223.
This video shows why RUclips needs to reactivate dislike counts. XD The reasons why you shouldnt buy this monitor, are hilarious! Sorry kid, but I can't take you serious.
You clearly just have a problem with the monitor. From yourtittle to all else you were being dramatically negative. Even the good things, you make sound negative. Its a very good monitor, if you want to do all the bells and whistles of a premium monitor, spend the extra $500, otherwise dont spend time criticising good tech.
Hey man, thanks for the video. How tall is the stand?
350 nits is above average for a monitor. This isn't a TV.
I agree about the stand,most of us have angles/bevel edges and i have table hole but that is for Wires, Not for Stand.Thanks for the review..ignore the haters
This is not a Gamming monitor... HDR is just an "effects".
Great for photographes and video editing.
none of your problem mentioned are related to Productivity
Right now I’m struggling with the decision of getting one of those 32 monitors or the 27 inch version twice 😬
Get the 27“ version twice, having the ability to rotate one screen and keeping one horizontally is brilliant
@@leonsvideos but then its not 4k resolution
@@Rose-oh6uk don’t get the ergo version (27UP550 or 650 or 850) and use the money you save on monitor arms if you need the ergonomic functionality
What did you go for?
* Your review does not fit the title. misleading!!
* Is all about gaming.
* Desk setup is already shown in pics before you buy
* Just negativity! and wasting our time with misleaded title!!
This Video Is the perfect example of "Why we need Dislike count on Videos"
This unfair about LG actually it’s very cheap for people they don’t have enough to pay for Samsung. This lg it’s great for me
Do you own a Nintendo Switch? I highly recommend checking one out and reviewing it
People won’t go for amputation in order to use a prosthetic, the use prosthetic because they alrdy lost a limb
Are you located in the US? Would you be selling it if it was not to your satisfaction?
FYI it’s ‘Aitch’ not ‘haitch’.
This really does not make any sense...... Random holes in your desk........ and so on.....
Likes: 150 Dislike: 144. This review is Rubbish
its a shame the video is so terribly written cus the editing and picture quality is astounding but sorry to say a lot of this is your own fault for not fully understanding the product
No your wrong, I have one and I have no issues - its a fantasitc monitor
Did you make sure it wasn’t the cable?
It's good for a cheap monitor❤ buy it, the best pc monitor is lg c2 40 ince
bro got them magnifying goggles on
Another video that doesnt show how far back it pushes on the stand
Wtf is that ? TITLE : DONT BUY, but he put links in bio to Get this monitor.
WARNING!! Do not watch this video for productivity!
yep, most of this is fussing over detail
DISLIKE
Does anyone know how I can update the firmware on this monitor? Ben mentioned that he had gone through the process but I cannot just find a way to do it. There is just a useless on screen control software that can be downloaded from lg website or App Store that literally does nothing firmware wise. I am having issues with my USB C port and thought a firmware update might get rid of the issue
Painful. Not the monitor either
Ill take the rest but the arm? Seriously? U can use it with a backboard . I mean Oh i can’t put my iPhone in my jeans with sealed pockets, this is HUGE problem, Apple hv to fix it
The many facepalms provoked by this video could provide the world a lifetime of free energy. You clearly needed PBP and LG's website states that this monitor has no PBP. Don't be lazy, do some basic research. Don't complain about non existing problems. Gaming does not equal productivity for about 99,9999% of the world, and by the way, this is not a gaming monitor.
Dislike, though I agree about lack of proper builtin PiP from a source (with an ability to move and resize PiP viewport via an app)
delete this or change the title
I just bought this monitor to connect with a Intel mini mac (2020). The whites were greyish, the blacks were grey, the monitor was less bright. No amount of adjustments could help. Looked like garbage next to my 27" iMac retina. I wanted to love this monitor but it was so inferior to the iMac retina
You bought a 60hz for gaming?….
4000usd for 27inch is ridiculous
