I played a few rounds of Overwatch, did some roaming around in Subnautica and some bot matches of CSGO as a test and all performed admirably. I have a Vega 64 and it was able to deliver a butter smooth experience on High settings with free sync on and no overclocking. PC MASTER RACE gaming elitists will say you're better off with a high refresh rate 2k monitor at this size but I performed just fine with solid FPS across the games I tried and it looked superb doing so. My skills did not suffer at 60hz and your experience probably won't either. You're probably not chasing Top 500 spots in competitive shooters for a Mountain Dew sponsorship and professional gaming career. If you have a more modest graphics card, you may have a different experience so look out for that.
The LG On-screen monitor control software is great! No more awkwardly fiddling around with a joystick to change monitor settings. Works for both Windows and Mac; you can find it on the included CD or download off the LG website with minimal searching if you don't have a CD drive. You can set it to automatically load a preferred profile based on your use; movie mode when opening a media player or photo mode when you open a graphic design program in both OS's so thats nice.
I use this with macOS as well and it looks superb, definitely a rival for the LG 5k Apple display. Color is great and fine for intermediate design work and content creation but isn't 100% Adobe RGB so if thats you're cup of tea, might need to look elsewhere. I was perfectly happy after a couple of easy tweaks for my use.
My only complaint is very small -- the included stand doesn't have a lot of tilt/height adjustments...but that's what VESA hardware is for. I was perfectly fine with it and would buy a VESA mount in the future if my needs change.
TLDR: 10/10 product for mixed use gaming and content creation, would buy a second one.
BTW, I bought an open-box monitor which was available via Prime for about $120 less than the best new offer. It looks like the monitor was returned because a screw was missing from the base which made it unstable. I bought a replacement M4 screw at Home Depot which completely fixed the problem. The DP cable was also missing but I wasn't too concerned about that considering how much I saved. I bought a new one from Amazon for about $10. Still more than $100 savings for an otherwise perfect monitor.

Primero que nada lo mejor es su 99% precisión de color sRGB que si te dedicas a la fotografía o a la edición de video tendrás una imagen y colores fieles a cómo se verá posteriormente en otros dispositivos.
Después, para trabajar el 4K te da cada pixel para que no pierdas detalle, permitiéndote tener varias ventanas con mucha calidad y densidad de pixeles.
GAMING: He usado el PS4 y Nintendo Switch (ambos a 60fps) con los modos de juego que ofrece el monitor y sin duda mejora la experiencia, en el caso del Switch incrementa el detalle con la función "Super Resolution +" y en el play para juegos de disparos te permite levantar las sombras para poder ver mucho mejor.
COSAS QUE NO ME GUSTARON:
El soporte de la base es frágil, aunque sí se puede inclinar ligeramente. Pero definitivamente se siente muy sencilla la base.
Los colores oscuros o negros totales siguen soltando luz por las orillas del monitor, así que si estás en una habitación oscura, notarás que aunque la imagen esté en negro total, habrá incidencia de luz.
Eso es todo. Excelente monitor, aunque por ese precio me encantaría que fuera OLED o tuviera HDR.
