The screen is very good for its price. Its colors are vibrant. The refresh rate with an AMD graphics card and HDMI goes up to 120hz. With the display port, it goes up to 165hz. I didn't buy it for gaming. I bought it for office work. Its menu is very easy and allows for many changes. I don't mind that it is in the middle of the screen and below it. However, if someone wants, they can visit LG's official website and download the LG program from there to make the settings from their computer.
I went with VA to have good contrast and I have it. I went with LG because, in addition to the very good colors and the 0 pixel warranty, my previous monitor was LG and it is 10 years old and still works without any problems.
It has very good viewing angles for VA. Actually, viewing angles don't concern me and I didn't want to deal with IPS technology since I didn't want it for gaming.
I can't say much about calibration because it is subjective for me. It depends on each person's eye sensitivity. For browsing and word processing, I use the Gamer 1 profile and the contrast and brightness are around 30 to 34. If I increase the numbers with the white backgrounds I have in front of me, especially in MS Word, it will be like having a fluorescent lamp and I will be working with sunglasses in front of the screen. And on the previous monitor, the contrast and brightness were low.
I don't know about games. There, someone may want high contrast and brightness, as they want in videos and movies that I watch, so I adjust the Gamer 2 profile accordingly.
From here, someone can download the program for settings if they don't want to do them from the monitor:

The preset profiles are also very good. The Reader profile didn't personally suit me. Also, settings can be done in combination with Radeon Software.
Thank you to Konstantinos77 for his review. It was the one that made me buy this monitor.
My friend, I am Panosvf who asked you on 30/11/2023 and you helped me with my questions.
For around 150 euros, I can't ask for more. Also, I didn't need to change my graphics card, which is also 10+ years old. But it is good for its time and still holds up.
I think FHD is for 24-inch monitors. That's where it performs best. However, I repeat, it also depends on eye sensitivity. Something may seem too bright or too dark to me, and the opposite to someone else. I have read good comments in reviews, but the best was from Konstantinos77 who, bless him, knows what he's writing and answers anyone who has questions!
