    Pay attention to the number of panels!

    I bought this monitor for casual gaming and programming. As you can see on my screen, there is a vertical black line that makes the right panel appear faded. First thing I notice is that this is a bug in the new IDE update. I later realize that this shows up in the video game as well. The first solution is to disconnect the DP cable and try to reconnect it, but sometimes it comes back after waking the monitor from sleep. A black line may appear if you try to pull the panel towards you at an…

    • Limited contrast setting

    This monitor was sold two weeks ago for $600. I ordered it despite the wrong photos Revain has. It was $100 cheaper than the old model and I thought it was a mistake. This model doesn't have an RGB backlight like the old model, but I'm more worried about how this monitor looks from the front. I have no problem running 4k @ 160Hz over DisplayPort with a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. You can use LG's "OnScreen Control" software to easily adjust monitor settings. I have no regrets buying this…

    color accuracy. spicy. Fur on local dimming

    Long recap: I was arguing between 27GP850 and 27GP950. Order 950 first. Read some reviews that suggest 27 4K is too small and requires windows upscaling. Quite a few reviewers are against Windows scaling. Fact: 27 4K 100% scale is hard to read. despite the poor view of the window scales. I went with 125%. Man this 4K 27 is sharp. Text. Picture. everything super clear. I am canceling the delivery of the 27GP850 immediately. This is the goalkeeper. I thought everything works fine. Turn on OC at…

    Worst monitor apart from all the others

    This is a very good monitor all things considered. However, it has one serious drawback that must be taken into account - it violates the overclocking mode. If you enable it, you will periodically encounter black screens where the monitor stops working for 3-5 seconds and then the image reappears. Of course, this happens at the most inopportune moment. That being said, I haven't found a monitor on the market that doesn't have _some_ issues, so I figured I could live with that, and I only use it

    Overall great for PC and PS5

    I thought this monitor was great and ticked all the boxes for my requirements. I was planning to use it for both my PS5 and gaming PC. The screen was a bit smaller, I wish they had made it at least 28 inches, but I got used to the 27 inches after a few days. HDR is pretty cool and worked quite well on the PS5, overall picture quality and colors were amazing. The only problem is that after the first day I noticed constant flickering of most of the screen, not sure if it was just my monitor or…

    Good - watch out for dead pixels

    Got it for sale. The first was returned due to stuck pixels in the center of the field of view. The second has two dead pixels around the perimeter of the panel. I want to give 4 stars but can't due to dead pixels. The first one returned had some bleeding. This one has a lot more. It has great colors and black. The monitor is very good for gaming and does a great job at 4K by getting data from the 3090 RTX. I just want the panel quality to be a bit more consistent. Watch for more stuck pixels…

    Left me a little ecstatic

    When this monitor works, it's amazing. A few downsides include a weird issue that causes the left and right sides of the image to be out of sync. You need to restart your monitor to fix the problem. Backlight bleeding is also noticeable. Finally, one day while browsing YouTube, I got an unexpected black screen. I hope a firmware update fixes two of them.

    The best monitor I've ever had!

    Best monitor I've ever had (so far. - Only been using it for a few months). The backlight ring on the back glows very nicely against the wall, a feature of this monitor that I really like. The quality of the images and colors on my screen is excellent. I am very happy with this monitor.

    A critical error in my review.

    The LG 27GP950-B is a very good 4K gaming monitor, but unfortunately it has a critical flaw that renders it unusable. This disadvantage is the intermittent blinking / blanking of the screen when using DP 1.4 functions. You can get around this by using HDMI instead, but then you limit the display to 120Hz, which I didn't pay for. LG promises to fix this issue by November 2021, but it's still present in the latest firmware (as of August 2022).

    Ok, but there is a downside with random black screens.

    I really like this monitor. But for some reason sometimes the monitor shows a black screen for a few seconds. This is very frustrating for me as I use it for sim racing and those seconds make a huge difference when you're driving at 180mph. Update if you disable g sync there are no black screens but that was one of the reasons I bought it to use. That's why I never use g-sync now.

    Blacks aren't even remotely black.

    I have had many LG monitors over the years and they are the kings of OLED but this monitor is CRAFTSMANSHIP! Coming from 3 27" GL850 1440p monitors and this monitor looks horrible next to them. The GL850 has some really great blacks, but on this model the blacks are gray and washed out. It looks absolutely horrible.

    Without a doubt the best 4k monitor.

    Why do you ask? With so many pixels, 4k monitors are prone to dead pixels/stuck pixels which are so prone that you should notice a dead or stuck pixel on your monitor within a month. But this monitor needs a difference, I've been using it for over 6 months now and still not a single dead/stuck pixel. If you are looking for 4K with G-Sync and high refresh rates at a reasonable price, CHOOSE THIS monitor.

This legacy product has updated firmware and excellent compatibility with M2 series chips. I don't know how LG managed that, maybe because of the experience in designing and customizing the Ultrafine series?
