I can't be sure from the low res pics being shared, but it looks like the arm connects to a 100mm vesa mount; so hopefully the arm could be swapped to a different display in the future.
OTOH mechanical parts wear out too, so it might be due for replacement about the same time the panel is outdated.
If you move it a lot and it is of low quality then maybe it can wear. But still, chances are that the arm won't fail at the same time as the display. Better to purchase separately.
Kind of DOA without HDMI 2.1, clear use of Thundebolt 3, no Dolby Vision & HLG HDR; and a pretty terrible brightness rating; I expect much more than LG than this considering the stellar standard they applied to their high-end TV line-up.
It's crazy to thing the SAME company that gave us a full HDMI 2.1 OLED TV last year would have such a low bar for their 2020 mid-tier & high-tier monitors.
HDR is massively UNDERRATED. The difference is literally night and day. Once you try it, you won't ever consider going back.
You have a point that no one wants the full brightness of the sun right in their face. But, having the ability to have a few pixels be bright is quite helpful. And the only way to have some pixels be able to be bright, you need the whole monitor to be able to be bright.
where are the wires... looks so clean! cause no wires. if LG provided a stand that had hidden wires, it would be great. otherwise IMO just go with the ergotron arm (or the am*zon b*sics one)
If you look at the other pics, you'll notice that none of the ports of the display are populated. So that's not the look you'll end up achieving. Unless you're fond of staring at a powered off monitor without a picture. But you can totally do clean able management outside of your case too - zip 'em up and they'll end up looking pretty neat.
I've bought 2 high end LG monitors this year and returned both of them for poor color uniformity across the screen. I have an ASUS with per-section color correction and its much better. hope LG adds that feature to its monitor firmware.

The arm shouldn't come with the display. The arm should last forever. The display might need to be replaced after 5-10 years.DanNeely - Friday, December 20, 2019 - link

HDR and brightness are massively overrated. Who the hell wants the sun right in their face?dullard - Monday, December 23, 2019 - link

Yeah, your comment reeks of someone without extensive experience using 1000+ HDR LCD devices or Dolby Vision HDR OLED TVs or panels.As one poster said, it's a do not go back value proposition.

So they went 4k (24") - 5k (27") - 4k (32")? Makes total sense LG!GreenReaper - Friday, December 20, 2019 - link
5K was a K too far, judging by the issues: https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/31/the-lg-5k-moni...jaggedcow - Saturday, December 21, 2019 - link
Judging by the issue* (singular)That was fixed in later revisions.
Hate on Apple all you want but I wish 5k displays for PC still existed.

I think it's more of the lack of *16:10* monitors in PC, not 5K necessarily. PC laptops still primarily do 16:9 as well which is frustrating for pros.Drazick - Saturday, December 21, 2019 - link
Give us 3000x2000 resolution in 34" (IPS, Adobe RGB Gamut & sRGB Mode).Surfacround - Saturday, December 21, 2019 - link
