LG UltraGear Gaming Monitor 27GN850-B, 27 inch, 1440p, 144Hz, 1 ms, IPS Display, HDR 10, AMD FreeSync, Energy Saving, HDMI, Displayport, Anti Glare, Adjustable Stand

When looking at this Monitor it was purely for gaming purposes, just that, it ticket all the boxes and yeh it looks amazing, this is dependant on your gaming setup. But as I was focused on Gaming it was a complete surprise to me that TV side of the Monitor was fantastic, it connected to my wifi and I have all the usual apps installed (BBC iPlayer, Channel 4 +5, Now, Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV) easy to switch between each using the home button. Also Samsung TV is actually really good, you get a Timeline of what's on and I have been watching a number of shows.

While the price is not high, the image quality, color rendering and high refresh rate response this monitor offers is just amazing. I would say GN850 is the no brainer for 2K144 users. P3 gamut is good for Mac users as well, keeping up with the Apple standard. I switch between my win pc and MacBook frequently on this monitor and it just feels smooth. Nothing falls short, either for fps gaming or photo editing. The only problem is that the HDMI port only support up to 2K100, so in order to reach 2K144, you have to use the only DP port. (I really wish there were 2 DP ports)

I'm quite happy with this monitor. I got a new PC with a RTX 3060 and although it isn't a 4k monitor, the maximum resolution of 2560x1440 looks fantastic. It is also compatible with G-Sync and IPS capabilities from Nvidia. I can use HDR with Doom Eternal and the difference is pretty visible. The higher refresh rate also makes the image look much smoother.Overall I think the image quality is great and it's a good value for money if you got a good gaming card and if you don't want to spend so much on a true 4k monitor.

Right, well first off my review may be slightly tainted by the fact I've had to replace my ageing Asus Rog PG278Q (TN) with this panel as after 5+ years of use it finally decided to die on me (in quite a spectacular fashion I might add).For the money I really don't have much to complain about. I'll list a few pros and cons:+ Colours and general image quality are pretty decent considering the average HDR spec. You'll have to adjust image settings to suite but coming from years of using a TN panel I can definitely tell the difference.+/- Freesync support is a real plus for me and is picked up by the NVidia control panel as supported BUT I've found I cannot run this monitor at 144Hz with Gsync enabled without encountering flickering. Dropping down to 120Hz fixes this and that's fine by me (so not as good as a dedicated Gsync unit built in but good enough). My ageing eyes and reactions mean I can't really tell the difference plus it means I'm using slightly less power and get to save the planet 24 frames at a time :p.+/- I have not tried the included stand but contrary to other reviews, this monitor mounted straight onto my dual Huanuo monitor arm without the use of standoffs. The Vesa recess doesn't look 100% standard though so I could see some people having issues without the use of standoffs.- Ghosting and overshoot is a problem with the most aggressive settings. I recommend using the normal or fast response time rather than 'fastest'. For me, this setting produced some nasty overshoot.All in all, very happy. After a few tweaks this panel performs like a high end TN from a few years back with the added benefit of fairly decent HDR support (don't expect perfect blacks, uber brightness or OLED like colours) but it's good enough.I'd say this is one of the best value for money gaming monitors in this price bracket.

Have been gaming on it quite heavily for over a year, was a nice upgrade its a nice quality monitor I've had no faults with it's good picture quality, fast refresh rate, and some cool features, I've also fitted it to another desk mount with no problems mounting it for a dual screen set up alongside another monitor.

I cannot go into tech details and i have no idea what to say but what i can say is I replaced an old 27" screen with this one and oh my god. Everything looks so much better and having a higher resolution comes in very handy. The very small bezel (compared to my old screen) looks great as well. Its a screen it works and looks great, not much else I can say. :)

I’ve been pc gaming for a few years now and I’m currently using an RTX 2080 gaming laptop so I thought it would be nice to have a larger screen and a higher resolution. After much research, this monitor or its predecessor the 27GL850 seemed to be one of the best choices when it comes to all round performance. It has a good refresh rate and a fantastic response time and the G-Sync works flawlessly with my Nvidia card. The screen looks absolutely fantastic, especially when receiving a 10 bit colour signal. For an IPS screen there is hardly any light bleed or IPS glow and it looks fantastic even when playing in a dark room. The build quality is very solid and although it’s early days, I can’t really fault it. Highly recommended!!!

From someone who's new to PC gaming, I bought my first gaming monitor and I'm really pleased. It's so responsive and worth the money. I can't go into detail and the technical side of things, but visually, it's impressive. Would happily buy the same again for a dual monitor.
