Hands-On with LG's 43-Inch 4K Monitor

How big is too big for a desktop computer monitor? Norm lives with LG's 43-inch 4K monitor for a month, and shares his experience using it for daily web browsing, photo editing, and gaming. The extra screen real estate of the 43UD79-B takes getting used to, but there are some tradeoffs.

[@Shookie]

THANK. YOU. for this review. JUST what I wanted to hear. EVERYONE's focusing on the gaming aspect of this, but you're taking the all-around bits and pieces of it aka everyday work. That's great to see. I was quite certain to go for this monitor to begin with, but your review convinced me furthermore. This monitor will be close to perfect for my daily use as I will do sound, photo and video editing, multi-tasking + browsing quite a lot, having multiple video streams up AND even casual console and PC gaming. Right now, I sit about 100cm~ away from the monitor, and my biggest monitor is 48", but that's a TV, so it's not exactly the best solution for my purposes. But this monitor will surely fulfill my needs completely, more or less. The fuzzy edges may seem to be deal breaker for a lot out there, but I guess I'll survive that considering everything else the monitor have in place. One question: What are the dimensions of the stand? I cannot find it anywhere... I find the dimensions for the screen with and without the stand, but not of the stand itself... Thanks for the review!

[@clipz1]

wont lie you comment alone almost got me sold did you get this and if so did you keep it ? im looking at this or the lg ergo stuff

[@dgisgd]

First spec i look at is price.

[@Mikupigeon]

It's now only 63000 Yen in Amazon Japan, I am tempted to buy one..... it's about USD560

[@MichaelAntonFischer]

It’s way cheaper than anything else in it’s class

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

Price isn’t really a spec.

[@SuperDark1979]

This is brilliant use and exactly what I do. One big display in the center and two on the sides in "portrait" mode. Forget about curved monitors.

[@djbonlando]

FYI the newer models don't have the blurred edges. I'm loving this monitor.

[@cognitionignition]

That is a lot of display (I'm another run-Windows-at-100% user), but I can imagine getting used to it, especially for photo editing or running multiple programs side-by-side. Thanks for reviewing it for us, Norm. Great content, as always. (Also enjoying those peripherals and knickknacks, from the TNG keyboard to the Blade Runner gun and horse replicas!)

[@cyberexile3507]

fuzzy edges is the biggest deal breaker ive ever seen in a screen man

[@p4r4m3c1um]

Not sure about this particular monitor but I have the dell 43" monitor. The edges appear to be fuzzy when your head is in the middle of the screen, but it's due to the size of the monitor and that it is a flat panel. The fuzziness arises because of the difference in viewing angle between straight on when your face is in front of the screen, to a steep angle when you are peering towards the edge of the screen. If you move your head (not ideal I know) the fuzziness will go away on the edges

[@cyberexile3507]

p4r4m3c1um what ur talking about would look more gradual. this thing has it like a fuzzy bar

[@p4r4m3c1um]

I mean on mine it looks like I have about 1cm around the entire thing that looks shadowy, Not really sure if thats the same as fuzzy, but on my dell monitor it looks like the last cm all around is at a lower brightness, but when move my head instead of just turning my head, the brightness appears to match the rest of the panel

[@VincentG991]

Cyber Exile I have and enjoy my monitor. Fuzzy I think was the wrong term for that, Dim outter strip if you view it from an angle ONLY is probably the correct verbiage. Straight on you can’t see it. Think it has to do with IPS stuff honestly. I haven’t had any time while video editing, photo editing that I thought I’m really missing out on the centimeters in the corners of this huge monitor.

[@p4r4m3c1um]

VincentG991 yeah! This is a better explanation than mine. I do a lot of 3d work and stuff so having the extra screen space is just so valuable and I never even notice the edges while working

[@samario_torres]

I need to know how the letters of code look...specifically in vscode

[@nerdiloo9863]

Same here - most reviews cover gaming/movies but never delve into code editors, web browsers and baked in application like word doc, excel so we can overall idea.

[@Star_Sn1per]

The thought of gaming on a 43 inch monitor already gives me neck pain

[@lucansanchez5129]

I think the most important feature for future tv models, is to have optional 1 to 4 screen viewing option, multiple viewing is amazing. Playing a game with sport on, and a podcasts playing and twitch or face book on, would be a good tv experience.

[@karthiksaikumar24]

What an effortless climb at 5:22 Norm !

[@VincentG991]

I have this Monitor, I love it and never thought it was too big. There’s one weird thing I noticed on mine, if you have a bright Window against a grey background there is slight white vertical streak of white going straight up and down the screen.

[@JCLoony]

I use the Dell equivalent monitor, similar size and specs. Once nice feature on the Dell is programmable buttons on the front panel that allow me to switch the monitor to another input configuration with fewer button presses, my single port KVM swaps my second monitor between my pc and mac, and the buttons on the Dell swap it's input. It also has that backlight fadout at the edges. The solution I have comes from using a window tiling program(Divvy works for me, both on my windows machine and mac). The program supports adding a small border that is not used around the edges of the screen for when it moves windows and that is enough to keep me from noticing the fade out. It's nice to have some preset window positions, too. I use four quadrants and an option to have a bigger central window or full screen(minus the borders). The setup I have is almost identical to this, with my side monitor not rotated, and I agree that it took a bit to get used to, but my productivity is up and I enjoy it more. As for gaming, I don't do the more active games that often, so I've not had the issue with the HUD being too far out, but using games like Factorio(my current play one) it works great and is a real blast to play on. While expensive, I'm glad I got this monitor.

[@greyareaRK1]

Maybe it's because I started with CRTs, but that monitor seems insanely close. I'd want it at least one foot further away, as in off the desk, and some sunglasses.

[@PedalToTheMetal61888]

[@Ali_ReBORN]

Bigger monitors are better for one reason alone.. the distance you can keep from the light being emitted off the screen to give your eyes less strain in your everyday long hrs. Your eyes will thank you as you grow vintage :)

I almost got this but went for a 32" 1440p monitor instead. Glad I did, at my sitting distance that 43" would have been way to big

There is no such thing as "too big". There is such thing as Sitting too close to something.

Im really interested in if the screen divided in to 4's is too small. This wasn't covered in this review unfortunately.

[@teachgold]

I run two 42" side-by-side and would never go back. For video editing it's perfect. Lots of space to do things. I does take up deskspace and when I am running a lot of vid the graphics card fan goes full on. Now I want a dead silent vid card to pull 4k twice.

[@brantwedel]

If your fast pace gaming close-up, it's probably at 1080p or 1440p to get a consistent frame rate depending on your hardware, so just scale to 1x somewhere in the center, if the monitor lets you? Then you just have a 28-inch 1440p monitor or a 21 inch 1080p monitor if I did the math correctly :-D (that said, I have had several 4k monitors that can't do 1x scaling or proper pixel doubling for 1080p without aliasing/blur)

[@ProHumanity]

Yep, you'll need a top of the line graphics card from 2017, 2018, or 2019 to play games at 4K. My GeForce 1080 runs GTAV @ 80 FPS with everything on Ultra at 4K on this monitor.

[@hippydestroyer]

I think I have the same monitor setup as you do in this video. The LG 43UD79-B (love it for programming) with a Dell P2715Q in portrait orientation on a monitor arm.

[@SB-tg6mn]

i use a 1080p tv screen as my monitor. today's ultra wide monitors are good horizontally, but not enough vertically. this usually results in extra space on the sides when watching videos. Using a TV gives you the extra vertical screen real estate and videos fill the entire screen.

[@jaybefaulky4902]

the *sweet spot* rule of thumb is to aim for the 100pixel per square inch range and just choose the size of the monitor and make sure it matches. you may need a 2K or 1080dp or 4k .. just make sure it's 100ish pixel per inch and you will be HAPPY

[@kaizen9986]

ive been reaching for quite a while to get a 32inch monitor or 27inch, after finally bought the 32inch, size-wise its been fantastic. been loving it. my next will be a 37 or 43inch ....

[@PedroCarvalhoLC43]

love the shots from behind Norm, looked for that everywhere, but only a few do that comparison. great!

[@Cyrax89721]

Regarding the gaming criticism; I'd consider just running the game windowed at 1440p in the middle of the screen.

[@orangie8942]

i do that with emulators too and it clears them right up

[@nurbsenvi]

Cyrax89721 nah

[@tombombadil1989]

Comments can really be aids sometimes. It's got 1x DP, 1x USB-C, and 2x USB ports. It's a monitor ya peasants. Anyways, great review Norm, you make keep watching tested.

[@alfaex.]

you can run games windowed in 2k or 1080p. you can run cs 1080p, twitch chat, obs, on the same screen.

[@STROBdotNET]

Tansk for your nice review. The Viewsonic VX4380-4K doesn't seem to have the black ghosting around which I fear a bit. It is a bit more expansive thought.... not an easy choice.

[@dupajasiu920]

love the big screen and multi screen arrangement possibility. buying this thing.

[@mrdavester]

I've used a 40" screen for a pc gaming monitor for years. If you have a FOV slider in a FPS type game you can have an almost eyefinity like experience but with good vertical real estate. I can never go back to a smaller screen.

[@dennisd7]

The trick is to push the monitor away from you when gaming

[@k34561]

There have been 40" 4k 60Hz monitors for 2.5 years now. I picked up my Seiki Pro sm40unp in Sept 2015. I have loved it. Not perfect. I suspect the new LG is better, but the Seiki Pro was here two years ago. I paid $1000, you can now get it for under $500 from Amazon. I'm waiting for a 50" 8K. Dell's 8K gives me hope that it is not far off. -Kurt

[@rjclark730]

Tell me everything about that keyboard man!!!! I need one. I assume its premiere shortcuts on the keys?

The only thing that would make me replace my 34" 3440x1440 monitor would be a 38" 5120x2160 one (or 6880x2880 once hardware gets there). 21:9 for life!

[@TheMrwarior]

there is a 40" one from philips which has 21:9 4k curved display, BDM4037UW

Currently I use a 32" and a 27". I want to upgrade to a 43" and two 32" in portrait mode. Have both 32" on the sides. I do both web and app development along with game dev in Unity and Unreal. It may sound like an overkill but I'm 58 and I prefer a bigger monitor to wearing my glasses while coding. Tell me what you think.

[@peter130476]

I have a Dell 27" 2560x1440 U2715H and I want to buy this LG. Is this comparable when it comes to image quality?

[@esaedvik]

Would be cool to see how a similar sized 43" 4K TV from LG (43UJ750V or 43UJ630V) or TCL (P-series) compares as a monitor. I've used a projector or a TV as my main display for a decade now and since I last moved, I have my TV about 8½ (2.5m) feet from my sofa and I'm thinking of upgrading an old 42" 1080p TV to the aforementioned models. At $450-700 for a 4K HDR TV with local dimming etc., they aren't too shabby.

[@D.Eldon_]

I've been using a 40-inch Philips Brilliance BDM4065UC for a couple of years for media editing and software development. It uses a 4K (UHD) VA panel. I calibrate the monitor with an X-Rite i1Display colorimeter and have been very happy with the results. My work distance is typically 20-28 inches. I like the ultra-dark black point of its VA panel because I edit in a dark environment and much of the media I edit is fairly dark with deep shadow detail. In the past this has been a big weakness for IPS panels---they have terrible black points because of their higher backlight bleed. What's your opinion of the black point of the 43UD79-B? What I'd ideally like is a 50-55 inch 4K monitor that does 3D. I'd prefer a passive system (polarized) if it's bright enough. But I'd take an active 3D system (LCD shutter) if that's all that's available. I can't use a 4K UHDTV because I need DP connection since that's the only output my workstations have that will do 4K at 60 Hz. Plus, TVs seldom make very good monitors.

[@AlmyCat]

I use three 21,5" 1080p monitors in portrait mode just for playing Battlefield 1 and I can tell that it is soo much more immersive and over all better experience than my other setup's 29" Ultrawide. With the triplemonitor setup I can bump FOV up to 90 without feeling any fisheyeish distortion. I also tuned the minimap settings and made the map alot bigger so it's a lot easier to perceive spotted enemies on the radar. And seeing enemies in game environment is also alot easier from a distance. c :

[@sntxrrr]

I’ve been using a 49 inch curved Samsung tv as a monitor for over a year now and it’s a perfect fit for me. It’s got a higher pixel density than my old 27 inch Dell 1920x1200 monitor, supports HDR, has a remote, a beautiful slim metal bezel and feet and pretty good sound. 60Hz @ 30ms is good enough for me but I wouldn’t mind seeing that improved. Also color accuracy in the extreme corners is slightly off but in practice that’s not noticeable. I chose this size because of it’s pixel density and, for me, the middle of the screen would still be at eye level, going even bigger would mean I would have to look up constantly. And although 34 inch 21:9 monitors are very cool they just don’t have enough height for my liking.

[@Crusader1815]

Why does LG curve their 34" and 38" widescreen monitors, but not this one? This thing is even wider than the 38".

[@Underhills]

Guess they finally realized that curved displays is just a silly gimmick. Same category as 3D TV.

[@trubadyr99]

When you put this monitor on your desk it gets clear that the desk is super-shallow. 4K monitors have to go up to 144 HZ and use best IPS or OLED panels with fast response rates and full RGB already!

[@lowellhouser7731]

All problems listed can be done away with by getting a bigger(deeper) desk. Used a 1080p 45in TV as a monitor for five years and this is the perfect size for a PC. You want it three to five feet away from your eyes.

[@TechInspected]

I've been using my 43" Sony 4K HDR TV as my main monitor since mid 2017 and it's been pretty great so far. I don't think I have the corner fuzzyness and yep I run HDR 4K games on PC. (60hz) Great for 4K video editing and photo editing. Productivity too. Response time is around 30ms so its quite acceptable for non-competitive games. I have a separate 144hz lower res monitor for competitive stuff. Games look amazing in 4K HDR.

hopefully you are still reviewing these... I have this monitor, love it, but want to use the multi-input feature that also enables the use of a single mouse and keyboard across the devices and am not finding the instructions for this configuration. my understanding is that you can set up multiple devices (i.e two laptops), display them together (i.e PBP HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 in a side by side configuration) and be able to navigate a single mouse over both as well as single keyboard input. but you must tell the mouse/keyboard which display receives the input. (i.e hover mouse over display 1, L or R click and use keyboard for data input or mouse click over web pages) Are you familiar with this capability?

[@SKRUBL0RD]

Been saying it for over a year now, 27" 32" 4K monitors are a joke. Overpriced just to have to squint and not even truly be able to appreciate 4K resolution (those sizes more suited for 1440). 43" would be interesting but of course it's going to be expensive as fuck and not be able to go past 60hz. For non-gaming, it might actually be decent, just still too expensive to be practical for at least 5 years to come. 55"+ is the sweet spot for 4K as you can truly admire the beauty especially with LED backlighting and high contrast. Since nothing in 4K can do 144hz+, best to just buy a 55" 4K TV for ~ $500. TCL makes one that even Ellen has been giving away that sells at Sams Club for $400 and has Roku built in.

I still say the best screen I ever used is a CRT 21" with RGBHV Connection sadly I can't remember the name now but the resolution was beyond 1080P as standard. And the RGBHV Connection made it flicker free and steady. I also used a Acer Predator 32" 4K Gsync screen. XB321HK And a 27" 1080p 144hz asus screen. I used to be a hardcore cs 1.3 to 1.6 player 8 hours a day+ grinding haha. Would you be able to recomend me this LG 43"? Today I'm older and I still enjoy games but now I play games to chill and I love adventure and exploring in game sometimes FPS but mainly games like GTA V, Skyrim, Fable and alot of older games. I mainly watch movies today on my pc with the little time I have after work house family etc. :) I'm still running 2x 1080Ti so framerate is still no issue at 4k 60hz what worries me is screen tearing thats why I bought the G-Sync 32 inch. but I sold it.

What is this monitor recommended windows scale? my 32 inch 4k shows: 150% (Recommended). 100% scale is always perfect, higher PPI than size is bad viewing experience for some applications.

As someone who uses a iiyama 40" 4K MVA monitor and play's BF1 almost daily... I can say that I have no idea what he is talking about when it comes to fast paced gaming. I had no pro adjusting to it over my 34" ultrawide 2560x1080 display.

It seems like once OLEDs get cheaper that would make the best monitor. Maybe 2 more years?

Thank you

I would probably use this display for what it is marketed as. 4 Full HD Displays in one. So having a display too big would not be an issue for me, as games would run only in a quarter of that screen.

Nothing is ever too big but I do wish they would curve it slightly at the edges so the eye line of sight is always perpendicular to the screen surface.

I've worked with the dell 43" 4k variant and you really have to sit back a bit or put the monitor as far back as possible on your desk, which imo defeats the purpose. Personally 21:9 super widescreen is the thing for me.

32 inch is as large as anyone needs if sitting at a desk, as long as it's at high resolution. 34 is too extended with eye movement. Anything larger should be a TV and far away on a couch. Monitor pixel density is a waste of money compared to a regular TV that way. I went cheaper with a Viotek 32" 16:9 144Hz and I won't need any "upgrade" again... except maybe from 1440p to a higher resolution when computers are faster for 4K, haha.
