LG clearly stands for "Literal Garbage". The DisplayPort and HDMI ports on the gaming monitor I bought a few years ago failed approximately 6 months in.
My old LG monitor (32GK850) would occasionally 'crash' and require powering off at the mains.
Only monitor I've ever had do that.
The HDR was worse than useless too, obviously you can't do much with edge-lit VA, but the tonemapping was just plain awful.
