**Most recent update** *Quick recap if you just want the review aspect - Very bad blacklight bleed, non working ports on the back (several), and now bad shadowing through the screen. Changed to 1 star. I want a return or replacement. Will not be keeping this monitor regardless of how the situation gets resolved. (Seriously. Please contact me LG or Amazon.) Now Im getting shadows all across the monitor. Anytime the screen is on a solid color (or relatively solid, like a blue sky, or grey background) I can see dark shadows throughout. Its very random (not changing, just no specific pattern). Its not burning or from being left on. I would say 70% of the screen is affected to varying degrees. Its not noticeable 90% of the time of use. But very noticeable in games or video where there are large areas of solid(ish) colors. Even if its only for 5 seconds, you will see it for all 5 seconds, and so on. Often its for long periods of time, which is extraordinarily frustrating. $700 for that? ***************** Original review Needing help LG. (brief review below) I contacted you twice so far. I contacted Amazon twice. I got help but it wasnt the right help (or the right answers). Issue - USBs (2/both) and aux port not working on back of monitor. Possibly other things as well, but thats all Ive tested so far. Amazon troubleshot with me, as did LG. They were very basic conversations. Typical, like they were googling or reading from the limited options they had on script. I dont say this to insult them. I just dont think I spoke with anyone with particularly vast knowledge of this problem. I say this because I was even sent a second monitor and it did the same thing. So either thats two bad monitors, or two computer selling companies that couldnt fix a (probably) simple issue. Google didnt help me though, so this is my last resort. I kinda want to return it, but I think Im days too late. The only reason Im not making a fuss is because admittedly this isnt detrimental to the monitor. Just aggravating considering the price point. The SECOND issue (which is not fixable) is black light bleed. Its JUST acceptable enough for me to tolerate. Admittedly I wouldnt buy it again, knowing this. But 95% of the time, it looks great, and its here. Also, this bleed was similar on both monitors I have had. The second (one I sent back) was slightly worse. Id love to give this a better rating, but I spent a lot of money on this to be so meh out of box. That meh could go up to a "yeah, I like it" but so far, no one can help. So either 2 were broken, or you (LG and kinda sorta Amazon) need to find someone that knows about electronics at your electronics company to help with electronics............. Crazy, I know. And no, I dont want to have this shipped off to be "repaired". Who would buy a new car just to send it back to have the engine taking apart and fixed buy a third party who may or may not know what they are doing?? Thats just not desirable, thanks. (I say that because the chances I would end up with a scratched screen, deal pixel, or potato are far too great. Two additional cross country journeys on a truck with people who dont care, are not good for heavy, large, fragile items.) Thanks.
