ive been using this monitor for like 2 years. and it has served me well . display,brightness, tilt etc.

[@PreviewVlog]

Yes. Its serving me well also.

[@Pronoob88990]

nice, I am also getting one for my m1 macbook air

[@PreviewVlog]

So far it is good. I got it @ $196 from Amazon seller

[@ElseMarieMunther]

Hi there. After you satisfied with your purchase here 10 months later? Have a nice weekend 😊

[@PreviewVlog]

Yes. It is still working pretty well with my M1

Hi, I have the same monitor and I'm using a UGREEN USB C Hub 7-in-1 with a HDMI cable but it doesn't give me that resolution and can't scale from macOS (only through the monitor but It looks horrible), will I be able to scale using the USB C cable from the description? ☹

[@PreviewVlog]

I just use that cable and go thru no Hub. Just hook up and the macbook do the rest. I only went over the display setting to pick the tone i like

[@herasmotorres]

@@PreviewVlog should've seen this video before I bought the hub 🥲

Dude I just copped this monitor for $114 renewed on amazon, as long as there aren’t any dead pixels Ill be ok

[@PreviewVlog]

Well, sometimes I just dont trust used electronics. Let me know if you got a good deal.

[@Solanza]

Hi! I am about to buy this monitor online, I was just wondering if it is possible to tilt the monitor up and down on it's foot? As in, change the viewing angle. I know some monitors have a solid foot that cannot be adjusted whatsoever.

[@PreviewVlog]

Yes. It can be tilted. Not much and little hard but i was able to tilt to adjust with my chair.

I just bought this monitor and hooked it up to my new Mac Mini and it looks nice, but for some reason, the screen doesn't look flat like the middle is bigger and kinda maybe opaque or bulging out looking. Is there some setting? I tried in displays but I don't see anything. Is this normal?

[@PreviewVlog]

Mine is normal. If you have tried all the settings, its still weird. Something is wrong.

[@dwil2123]

@@PreviewVlog I have been on a curved monitor for a while now and read that it is maybe a kind of brain illusion from the curved experience. It takes a few days to clear it..It's already looking better now..Weird right?

I had the same issue with this monitor, but you can fix it in macOS display settings, just change the color profile to HD 709-A

Do you recommend this screen for my Macbook Pro M1 Pro. My usage is for programming, a lot of reading and watch KZbin. Is the text clear and dont hurt the eyes?

[@PreviewVlog]

Hmm. It’s just a $200 monitor. Cannt expect much. Not clear as the Macbook of course. In short. Depends on your budget. This is fine with me for now.

[@jonathanbkr2877]

Does the usb c port only for charging or display? You had conflicting statements in the video.

[@PreviewVlog]

The cable came with macbook only for charging. If you buy an usb c support display, it will work. But this monitor does not supply power. In short, if you want to use usb c, you need 1 for display and 1 for charging. Hope this makes more sense.

[@jaskaransmusic]

Hi, can you please tell me the height of the screen with stand.. I saw different measurements on different websites. Some say its 16" and some 18.7". It'll be great if you can measure and tell me.. Thanks!

[@PreviewVlog]

Hi there. Its 16”

What is Mac Air? Edit:Oh yeah, y'mean Macbook Air? Cuz there's nothing as "Mac Air" rn

Hello, can I ask please, can this monitor be powered by a regualr wall outlet?

Any from 100v-240v

Hi, I have the same setup but using the Mac adapter from usbc to hdmi and then connected with a normal hdmi cable. My problem is that sometimes the monitor blinks or goes black for a couple seconds. What could it be the problem?

[@PreviewVlog]

Get the right cable may solve your problem

[@chriskuri6060]

@@PreviewVlog so you recommend to use the usb c to hdmi cable instead of using the adapter, right?

[@PreviewVlog]

Its cheaper to buy the cable. They have adapters could work but most of them are expensive.

[@user-lu8mf8vm6r]

i plugged it on my xbox series S. I am never going back to conventional tv's.

[@PreviewVlog]

Tv is only for basic use.

I am thinking of buying it for programming and gaming Would you recommend it ?

[@PreviewVlog]

I am using it to trade stocks and it is good enough for me. No problem for programming but gaming would depend on your pc and the game you play. Check your games requirement. Hope you will find one fits your need. Thanks for watching

bro how can you tilt it, I’m having a hard time doing so

use a little force. at first I thought it would break but it does tilt .. not much but it does.

Do you have any advice for color calibration with this monitor, I have the exact same model.

[@user-lu8mf8vm6r]

@@adhipathis12 THis is what i do also on this monitor that i own: if you play games on pc or on a console, do not go manual setup, you will ruin everythin. Simply set picture mode to "FPS" mode. It will drop input lag to 1 ms which will make you faster in controller reaction. But if you want to watch a video or a movie, simply set it to "HDR" mode. There's the best picture qualit you will get from this LGWP60 monitor in HDR mode when you watch videos or movies..

I have this monitor and it seems that It does charge my MacBook Air M1, a little bit slow though. Went from 85 to 90% in around 30 minutes. I've noticed that it was charging because when I plugged the monitor into the MBA, it would make that sound whenever the ac adapter was plugged in.

Make sure you use the usb c support video - the usb c charing is not working- if not, your cable does not support. I recommend buy hdmi. Its cheaper
