The wait continues.
B) wtf is up with that silly USB-A input port.... hello LG, this is 1992 calling and we demand ALL our antique, outdated ports back, like, yesterday :)
C) a mere 1 yr warranty on a $1300 monitor.....nope, notta, no way, 'jose :(
Can that even be called a KVM? Marketing sure thinks so, I disagreeThey don't seem to call it that in the press release fortunately, because it's notVersus Samsung Odyssey G9:
- Both VA panels
- Same 1000R curvature
- Same VESA DisplayHDR 1000
- Same 95% DCI-P3
- Same 2500:1 static contrast ratio
- Same 240 Hz refresh rate
It's a new panel that mostly matches this monitor's specs and began mass production in Q3 last year. So, it's probably pretty decent? Especially if it ends up with better QA from LG.
edit: the luminance and color coverage information are gonna be inaccurate because it comes without a backlight. that site also says it's flat though, so maybe it's a different panel, but panelook isn't always 100% accurate.
Even if I think it will be 2 years warranty in Europe (at least in France, it's the law).
Becoming older, i'm bored to put $$ on things who could fail in 4-5 years of normal using.
I'm an old school dreamer, i want things that endure time and build to last !
