Bezel size is fortunately as expected. Not borderless, but reasonable sized bezel. Plasticky as expected, but colours and design look in the video of the plastic frame is not bad. The fake ProDisplay XDR type hinge looks cheap, but that's OK. Nice to see the video review includes a Mac as the demo machine.Full review of the monitor here, pre orders are now up too $1999 US. Not sure if it's good value next to a second hand Pro Display XDR though?

There appears to be vignetting but I'm not sure if that's from the video capture / camera lens or the screen, but I suspect it's the actual monitor in combination with the matte surface.

I just learned the Japanese word for "default" is "de-fo-ru-to".

@13:39 "It's more of a monitor for things like sexually explicit productions" 🤣
It's the automatic English AI voice auto translation at 13:38. Don't turn up the volume if you're at work.lol I didn't pick up on the sexually explicit predictions comment hahaha.
Not all the 6K monitors are using the same panel. The resolutions aren't even the same.Seems overpriced to me next to all the other 6K monitors that have come out lately, no doubt all using the same panel as this? And yes it definitely looks plasticky and a bit cheap. Oh dear, maybe I should continue saving for a Pro Display XDR.

However, the English subtitles say "static productions". The context is when he's talking about the 60 Hz limitation. It appears the voice and text auto-translation algorithms are not the same.

We shall see, but the monitor itself should still work fine with Thunderbolt 4 or DisplayPort 1.4 at full 6K 60 Hz HDR, since both already support 8K 60 Hz. You won’t get the Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth for additional peripherals though.Just to make you guys aware this is on the product page:
“To access all features, including 96W charging and 6144 × 3456 resolution, your device must support Thunderbolt 5 or USB-C with DisplayPort 2.1.”
A brief update on the 6K competition:
This concerns the Kuycon G32P, which is also competing in the 6K league. As we discovered by chance today, the Kuycon also supports higher frame rates in other resolutions, namely up to 120Hz in 4K and up to 144Hz in WQHD. Awesome!
It would be interesting to know whether LG or ASUS can do this too.
Yes, but the panel QA isn't very good judging by reports. I've seen a several reports with outright defective displays (although I'm not sure how much is due to QA and how much is due to shipping issues), and mentions of inconsistent backlighting and stuff like that. Mind you with regards to backlighting, a lot of the less expensive third party monitors are like that.Is it a glossy panel on the Kuycon?
Cannot confirm your information!

Thus guy bought 4 Kuycon 5K monitors and all 4 had defects. Three were outright defective, and the fourth was bad backlighting with backlight bleed.Cannot confirm your information! And the difference between us is that I'm sitting in front of a Kuycon G32P and working with it, and you're not![]()

This guy bought the Kuycon 6K and said part of the screen was glitching out, but then resolved itself. However, it also has bad off-axis uniformity, and corner backlight bleed

Of course, any monitor can have defects, but anecdotally it seems the Kuycon has a significantly higher incidence of defects. I'm glad you got a good one, but I personally won't risk that kind of money for one to play the panel lottery with overseas mail-order.
Yes, but the volume of people buying Kuycon is undoubtedly relatively low, so these many anecdotal reports are concerning. And quite frankly, I'm not surprised. This is common with small third party no-name brands. You can often get good items, but the risk is far higher because QA usually isn't their priority. It's feature set and price. It looks good and checks off the various things of the desired feature list. I remember back when Vizio TVs were all the rage, because people could get high spec TVs for bargain pricing. Then fast forward a year and the internet was rife with complaints about their terrible QA. Despite this, there were lots of people who loved their Vizios, because they won the panel lottery.The first two replies to that guy claim to not have his issues?
Always hard to know what to make of isolated complaints on Reddit.
As we know, the complaints always get all the attention and people are FAR more inclined to rush online and post about bad things than those who have something and love it and are using it just fine.

Available November in Canada, pre-orders start Oct. 10.
Don't forget the LG is Thunderbolt 5, and supports dual LG 6K monitor daisy chaining. For me that's currently largely irrelevant though, because I don't own anything that has Thunderbolt 5 and don't plan to get anything with Thunderbolt 5 for several years if I can help it.I wish this were glossy. I'm tempted to get a Kuycon but I don’t know if I want to risk it, warranty wise. I suppose I could try to use American Express's warranty thing to try to offset some of the risk, but LG, at least I have people I can yell at if something goes awry.
I really would love Apple to do a non-XDR 32” 6K for say $2299 USD (more with the ****** adjustable stand that I won’t use anyway because I’m an Ergotron arm person and that will not change), but that’s probably wishful thinking.
What I struggle with is ascertaining how much better this is than the Asus, which costs $600 less. Like, I can justify the Kuycon's price because of the glossy panel and the design/construction, but if LG is just plasticky and cheap, I just don’t know.
I really need a second display to use with my ASD but I’m definitely not buying one until we see whatever Apple has (a new 5K or 6K) and we have LG units in the wild to judge against.
Nice. I see that it is €1800 in France, or as you say, €1500 before VAT.I'm expecting to receive the LG sometime in the next couple of weeks. It was only 1500 euros before sales tax in France. Will try and give you all some feedback.
This is good point but even with this, at $600 difference for one (so $1200 to do two), you could get a very good TB5 dock for less than that and that dock would likely have additional connectivity that the monitor doesn’t.Don't forget the LG is Thunderbolt 5, and supports dual LG 6K monitor daisy chaining. For me that's currently largely irrelevant though, because I don't own anything that has Thunderbolt 5 and don't plan to get anything with Thunderbolt 5 for several years if I can help it.
(The XDR display is lovely and I used to have one at work but to be honest, there is no universe to me where it is worth $6000 […].)
Still too rich for my blood.It looks like for a brief moment the XDR nano-texture model was on sale for only $5159.14 during Amazon Prime Days but that seems to have gone by the wayside as it’s back up to the standard MSRP of $5,999.![]()
