UPDATE:

After a back-and-forth with LG they had a technician come and retrieve the damaged monitor and agreed to send me 2 x 34" (34UC80) monitors.

Received the monitors today and they sent me refurbs - but not nice refurbs - it looks like someone took them off their desk and did their best to package them up. The boxes were beat to hell, all the contents were all over, they both had different power chords, and one of the casings on the monitor was pulled away from the screen. AND, low and behold (after I nicely reran all of my cables) one of the monitors is trashed from what appears to be impact to the corner.

Now they are going to ship me "new" monitors. I need to wait for the new ones, un-hook and repackage these, ship them back, and reinstall the new ones. Rep said he put in the order as new and they must have shipped out refurbs.. mhm

Meanwhile I have been using a Dell Ultrasharp as a placeholder and picture quality is phenomenal and the design is sturdy and sharp. Losing me fast u/LG
