  I will try to be brief and provide some information and answer as many questions as I can.

  +IMAGE: Very good resolution and color quality with good black contrast. I notice a slight deviation in the reds, very slight, compared to the mini-led monitor on my laptop (Asus), but it doesn't particularly bother me. In front of you, 99% of the time you see two identical images if you place the monitors side by side. I don't think I'm scaring anyone; my work is video and photography, and I don't see any problems (I don't work for the BBC, of course).

  +BUILD QUALITY. You can feel it, and it is very lightweight but at the same time very high quality in assembly and finish. It is definitely not something that will fall off your desk onto the marble. Aluminum shell on the back and sides, plastic for the thin bezel in front.

  +-CONNECTIVITY. The cable included in the package is supposed to be special to "carry" both image transfer and power. LG refers to the connection as "PD Alt Mode." Unfortunately, none of the 5-6 random USB-C to USB-C cables I had in front of me worked. The cable that comes in the box works perfectly, but it is quite thick and inflexible for such a lightweight monitor. Although I have searched quite a bit, I still haven't figured out the specs that a generic cable needs to have to work. So far, from what I have read, I have concluded that the minimum specs should be USB 3.1 Gen2 Type C/Thunderbolt 3 or even better USB 4/Thunderbolt 4, which I don't think are either thin or cheap for someone to just buy for testing.
  EDIT 19/08/2024: I bought no-name USB C 3.2 Gen 2 cables 50cm and 3m, and both work just fine like the original cable.

  +Samsung DEX. The S24 Ultra cannot "wake up" the monitor with a direct connection between them. It kept connecting/disconnecting without being able to show anything on the screen. And it definitely has to do with the power supply because when I connected power from a charger with Power Delivery (PD) compatibility from the other side (to the second USB-C port on the monitor).... DEX started normally, without ANY issues, and everything worked as it should.

  -Stand. The only significant drawback of the product is the magnetic cover/stand. On one hand, the magnets do not have much strength to keep it stable when you place it to protect the screen, but the main problem is that it is not adjustable at various angles (at least 2). There is only one angle that the monitor sits at, which is around 65-70 degrees, and personally, it doesn't work for me in most cases. I want it more "flat" because I also want to have the laptop screen next to it.
