So, after a long wait I decided to chance it with newegg and buy this one. If you didn't know, Newegg was sending out the Revision 00 model of this instead of the revised firmware version 1.02. Luckily, I got the correct one. If you look at the last few reviews, they have as well. Keep in mind, I pretty much only game from this computer. I've never used a 120hz monitor so I can't compare. I'm upgrading from a HannsG 28'' 1920x1200 monitor, which was rated at 60hz as well. I can only compare 60/60hz as I've never tried 120hz.
Packaging -- Well secured in foam inserts as norm. It came with DualLink DVI, Power, USB, HDMI, and sound cables. Also, screws for the included stand; which is very sturdy for the small imprint it brings.
Assembly -- The only thing you have to assemble here is the stand and it's only two screws. Super simple.
Features -- The stand does provide tilt only. The OSD is activated by touch buttons on the bottom right underside of the monitor. The buttons are nicely labeled and function as one would expect and like. From within here, you can setup your color settings, Picture-in-Picture, and input selection. For more on this you can check out LG's site. There is a very very thin soft AG coating. I find it doesn't take away from the screen at all.
So that's the basic over-view. Now for my experiences/opinions:
I powered on the monitor using the included DVI cable. No issues at all, found the signal and even showed POST centered. While the machine was POST'ing, I saw the terrible thing we hate to see during black screens.... Stuck pixels. Everywhere. I counted about thirteen, but only about five are bothersome. I'll run the pixel flush over night in hopes it'll free them. I tried massaging them but still didn't help anything. There's one, bright ass lime green, in the middle of the screen. It just taunts me. Since there's not much I could do, I went ahead and loaded up some games. Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, TF2, and Smite. All worked fine. I didn't notice any ghosting. Image quality, since coming from a low end TN panel, I'm blown away. This monitor looking amazing. I'll link my steam profile if you want me to test any games, you can see if I have them. Let me know if you have any questions at all.
