LG 32MA68HY-P 32-Inch IPS Monitor with Display Port and HDMI Inputs

I purchased 3 of these monitors for my home office. Unfortunately, I did not do enough reading of the reviews. Like others, within a couple of weeks of installation, one of the monitors developed the horizontal "staticy bar" flicker that many others have complained about. Since I was outside the return window, I went to LG to get it replaced under warranty. Now I have 2 new monitors and a refurbished one. To top that off, now a second monitor has developed a full screen flicker that happens even when the monitor is powered on and not connected to a computer, in that time where it is looking for input before going to power saver mode. So in another couple of weeks, I will have 1 new monitor and 2 refurbs, in less than 90 days from purchase. I am absolutely not happy with the quality of these monitors. I have come to expect far better from LG. Update: My experience just went from bad to worse. A day after receiving my refurbished replacement monitor, it failed. completely blacking out and coming back on, as often as every 10-15 seconds. I decided to hold off on the warranty fix for my second bad monitor and get this refurbished replacement replaced again. Guess what, LG doesnt have any more of them. My only choice was a refund. Now I have to go out and buy 3 new monitors (will be a different brand) and relegate the other 2 to the yard sale pile. Amazon: Please come up with a way to rate something at less than one star!

I am a software engineer (i.e. I do code monkey stuff for hours on end :) ), and got this monitor as a secondary display so I could have non vital things running on it. However, fonts were pixelated, and very hard to read. Images did not display correctly and everything had a reddish tint to it (even after I calibrated the display and my laptop to show truer colors and and tried several setting combinations - I even ran the auto calibration). I tested the connection with two different HDMI cables, a VGA to DisplayPort adapter, and straight out DisplayPort. I just couldnt get an output sharp enough for me to read things in the terminal or images to not be distorted / pixelated. I was disappointed given that this monitor had such high ratings. It might be ok if you just need it for emails or things with sparse text, but I couldnt see it being good at anything else.

1980 x 1080 isnt going to be good for gaming, photo editing, etc. But it does a good job for "paperwork". I can split the screen in half and with a dual monitor setup have conceptually 4 screens up at the same time. I have purchased 7 of these monitors. #6 in about 4 weeks came up with a horizontal line about 1/2" thick just below centerline that renders that part of the screen unreadable. Contacted customer support and they said they would send me labels to return to them for service. 6 weeks later I called back because they still had not sent a label. I ordered another monitor (exact model), to use while the repair was going on. Figuring to put the repaired one in service when needed. The brand new monitor (#7), when installed has a blank, black screen. The powerlight is on, WIndows recognizes the monitor is present. But no picture. Another oddity: The power supplies on the two monitors are not the same. One is a brick-style with about 9-foot reach. This one is a cord straight to the transformer with about a 5 foot reach. 2 out of 7 monitors being bad is just shy of 30% bad machines. Thats not a good track record at all. And LGs customer service has yet to prove themselves. Even if they repair the monitor, it has taken way too long. *** Update - Changing from 1 start to 3 stars. On #7 monitor, I switched to the power supply from #6, and changed from the HDMI port to the DP port and it now works. I still dont understand why with the HDMI port filled I could not get an on-monitor menu. But nevertheless the monitor works as described above. Still keeping to 3 starts because it took an hour and a half to do a 10-minute job since the monitor doesnt do everything it is supposed to.

Was a nice monitor while it lasted but unfortunately it failed within 60 days after I hooked it up. LG has given me a runaround and now says that they cant repair it and that replacement has to be "approved". They cant tell me when it will be "approved" and said that I should be "patient". Less than happy with their bureaucratic customer service that doesnt answer questions and changes the story every time I call.

I bought 2 and 1 broke in less than 6 months. LG made me take it to a company to fix and I have been without the monitor for 7 weeks. LG customer service is terrible. Its located in the Philippines and they will do nothing to support the customer.
