Review on πŸ–₯️ LG 27GL850-B Ultragear Gaming Monitor 2560x1440p, Adjustable Tilt & Pivot, High Dynamic Range (HDR), 27GL850-B.AUS, HD by Christopher Beaule

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Switched from 4k/60Hz; No regret

A while ago I was thinking about what kind of monitor to choose. Coming from a 4k display, but a pretty cheap 60Hz TN panel I got on a Black Friday deal a few years ago. High refresh rate 4k panels are too expensive (and I don't think my graphics card can beat them), but I wasn't sure I wanted to trade resolution for frame rate. My first impression after a few hours of using the 27-GL850-B is that I made absolutely the right decision. Picture quality is superior to my old monitor - the better colors and viewing angles more than make up for the lower resolution. I have to bend over and stare a lot to notice the edges of the pixels, and I'm sitting pretty close to the screen. Movies/shows/videos look great too. Anyway, 99% of the content I watch isn't available in 4k, so for that purpose the monitor is just an improvement over my old one in every way. However, the screen real estate is obviously smaller, which can affect performance depending on what you're doing (that's why I brought an old 4k monitor into the office!). The first impression of the high refresh rate is very positive. I've never used a high and variable refresh rate monitor for an extended period of time and honestly didn't think the difference would be that dramatic. A game
