What People Are Saying

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Do not buy. This is a very expensive paper weight. I have had this monitor for a couple of years. I just powered it off, and moved it to another desk and now it is dead. Then I search and find out that it is very common. I will NEVER buy another LG product. Do not waste your money. I'm sure this will get deleted.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Works ok but not 100% iMac Pro compatible Works ok but not 100% iMac Pro compatible, the screen resolution is fine but when the monitor is connected the iMac mouse pointer is jerky intermittently. It's a real killer and every time the monitor starts I get the message "(Caution) make sure to use a supplied mini display port and HDMI cable" but the iMac pro doesn't have a display port but it on the iMac pro supported monitor list??? I tried a USB-C to Display port and the monitor is not even recognised. Very frustrating indeed. Apparently its a common problem on further research????

What color setting do I make to view HDR color?

Asked by: DigitalWoman
Hello, the 31MU97 does not have HDR (High-dynamic-range) but is a 4K monitor. The color settings are going to be person preference. ^AC

What monitor arm would I use with this monitor if I wanted to mount it on my desk?

Asked by: Freddy5825
The LG 31" Class 17:9 Digital Cinema 4K IPS LED Monitor (31" Diagonal), Model # 31MU97-B has a VESA Wall Mount Interface of 100 mm x 100 mm. That VESA Wall Mount Interface can be used for Wall Mount Brackets or Monitor Arms and it guarantees that if they are VESA Compliant, that they will fit provided they support the same Wall Mount Interface that the monitor has. So when you do a search for compatible desktop monitor arms, be sure to look for any that support that VESA Wall Mount Interface pattern...^IFV

The HDMI ports on this are version 1.4, not 2.0 correct? If so, can a 10 Bit color signal be transferred to this monitor using the unit's HDMI 1.4 port, coming from a Blackmagic Decklink card, which supports 10bit color export over HDMI (2.0)?
