Hmm, I'm in two minds whether I actually like this monitor. I bought it 2 days ago as a work monitor, as such, I've been impressed with it so far but I can't help but wonder if I've made a bad decision.
I'm a web designer/developer and I bought it soley for work purposes, not for gaming. For gaming, I have an ASUS 27" 3D 144hz monitor, which absolutely kicks *** by the way in games like BF3 running 2 x GTX 680's with 4GB GDDR5 Vram on each card.
Back to the LG though, as I mostly work in Photoshop/Illustrator/Dreamweaver, I wanted something I could multi task better with. As already mentioned in this article, for coding, it's vertically oriented but I don't really mind having to scroll a little.
I still have until next Thursday to make my mind up and return it if needs be and I will be doing some work over the weekend and find out if it really does suit my needs. I keep thinking in my head though, 2560x1440 or 1600 would be so much nicer! Sat next to my 27" ASUS as well, it's a good 2.5/3inches smaller in height, which has been added on length ways to the LG.
It's a bizzare trade off when you have this LG sat next to a 27" monitor and it really does depend what you want to get out of it. I haven't tried BF3 on this yet but I will do over the next few days.
