Monitor firmware needs some work.
The display works, has a nice response time and the colors are good. However, the monitor is pretty heavy, and the case is a little flimsy for how heavy the monitor is, making moving and mounting it a chore.The firmware has some issues and adaptive sync on my monitor via HDMI causes the screen to black out. Enabling HDR causes issues with color representation on the monitor.There's not many nicely sized 3840x2160 oled monitors, and even less so that have higher than "normal" refresh rates. So this was a nice upgrade to my previous IPS panel at this size, but the main upgrades were color and a little higher refresh rate.

Not as good as it should be
Overall, this monitor does not fit my needs (working with Photoshop).There are some real flaws in the design.To start with, the unit is heavy and cumbersome. They have designed the upper part of the screen so that they warn you not to hold this area to move the screen as it might break. That makes getting the screen in place harder than it should be.I am most disappointed with the way the display handles color. When there is a large area of any color, that has subtle changes of color instead of a smooth transition of the color the monitor displays waves. The manufactures hype implies great color rendition. This is simply not true.The screen wants to renew the OLEDs occasionally. You are given the option to not do it, but I have found only about half the time will it accept a ‘not now response’. Once this process has started the screen goes black for what appears to be a random period of time. I have yet to have it recover on its own. You must press a button on the remote and wait for the screen to start displaying again.There is no power indicator on the unit. Which means you have no visual way of knowing if the monitor is on or off.When the screen saver engages, they tell you that a movement of the mouse will bring it back. I have not found that to be true. Only by pressing a button on the remote control will the screen recover. The recovery takes at least 10 seconds (doggedly slow).I am extremely disappointed with this monitor.

Pain in the….
The monitor is gorgeous when working. The firmware is atrocious. Especially painful if you’re planning on switching inputs at all. Once the screen goes black (happens randomly, theoretically for OLED refresh), good luck getting it back on. I have to unplug the whole tv and replug it to get it working again.

Great experience so far
The monitor is well made and works wonderfully on my xbox series x. The Picture is crisp, clean, very colorful, and bright. Size is perfect for my small game room and full screen mode makes sure there are no boarder issues or aspect ration issues. Will note that the monitor does no come with a stand( sold separate for$100 on here currently). So unless you intend to mount it like i did then be sure to get the stand as well.

Monitor only good for constantly screen changing activities
The monitor is very heavy, it is hard to move around. It doesn't come with a stand, so you have to buy it separate (which adds to an already high price tag). But color and refresh rate make up for it right? Nope, because if you find yourself doing 'static' activities like spreadsheets or something else not like video games, or TV watching, the screen will dim on you. I researched why and if there was a way to turn off the 'dimming' feature only to find a year old thread stating OLED monitors do that to prevent burn-in and this model doesn't have a firmware update to turn it off.So it works for when I'm playing games (as long as the colors and pattern changes on the frequent), otherwise the monitor will dim quite a bit, constantly. I find myself using my mouse to shake the pixels around on the screen for the brightness to come back.In short, this technology is garbage for anything but a gaming ONLY Monitor. So I gave it two stars because at least it had minimal use as a gaming only monitor. I would buy something else if I could do it again though, and apparently avoid OLED.

DO NOT BUY!
I can tell you why these have LG OLED panels. It’s because this company receives the OLED panels that LG Display, rejects. So they’re sold at a discount this companies like this to pass on to consumers at lower prices. I have never seen such bad screen uniformity as this in my life and every tv in my house is an OLED. I took a chance with this but unless this company wants to contact me and send me a replacement I’ll be sending this back.As for the overall color and image quality it’s decent except where the lines are obviously, if you order maybe you’ll have better luck than me. All of the features work on my ps5, VRR, 120hz, etc so that’s a plus.Contact me KTC let’s fix this so I can properly review this monitor.Also the speakers suck. Like, they’re really bad. This thing is just as thick as a regular lg OLED tv so tell me why an OLED tv sounds infinitely better
