An absolutely beautiful monitor for the price

At the time of writing this article, I've had the monitor for about a week. Let me give you a quick list of the pros and cons of my brief usage: Pros: G-SYNC compatibility is SO a great feature; 144Hz is life changing in terms of FPS and other competitive games; excellent brightness without backlight; ultra-easy assembly without tools; an intuitive menu that's honestly quite easy to use. Cons: The monitor is very tall even on the lowest settings (I've used two Acer R240HY monitors before…

I want a USB port

Just received it, checked the dead pixels, everything seems fine. I just wish there was a USB port so I could connect a speaker as it doesn't have a speaker. I can connect a cable to the headphone jack, but I need to connect power to the USB port. Since there is no connector, I have to plug into the adapters and then into the outlet on my power strip. You look great.

Arguably the best 1080p gaming monitor

I love IPS panels. Their color accuracy and range are incredible and they look more realistic compared to TN. Although the display says 1ms, it is important to know that NO IPS can run at 1ms. However, as someone who has played TN panels before, I can hardly tell the difference. So it's nice that this IPS monitor is incredible. It comes pre-calibrated from the factory so you don't have to, and it looks fantastic. it blew my mind on my old IPS monitor I was using; The sRGB range of 99% is…

This monitor is pretty good!

This monitor is great for gaming, the 144Hz refresh rate is a game changer. The moment I switched from 60Hz to 144Hz I knew I would never go back to a 60Hz monitor since I've tried playing games at 60Hz and it's like I will try mowing the lawn with a butter knife. The settings radial button is really handy, it allows you to control the monitor with just one button, it has a number of settings, including the ability to set a crosshair. permanently on your screen for games. If you are a "cheater"

Screen flicker suits me

The monitor sometimes freezes to a black screen that only lasts about 1-2 seconds. I'll try a better displayport cable to see if it solves this problem. To edit. Purchasing a quality VESA certified DP cable solved my problems.

Great budget monitor for gaming.

The first. Don't forget to go into "Display settings", "Advanced display settings" and change the default frequency of Windows to 144 Hz. Then go into your graphics card software and enable Freesync or Gsync. In fact, it will probably already be enabled, but usually only for full-screen games. You can enable "windowed or full screen mode" if you want. The build quality of the monitor seems to be very good. So far (just a few days) no problems. No dead pixels, no graphic glitches. I like the…

Multifunctional gaming monitor

I only received this product a day ago but so far I'm impressed. It met or exceeded everything you could expect at this price point. Setup and installation were easy. Bracket and lever were there in 5 minutes. The monitor came with a DisplayPort cable that supports HDR10, so it was a welcome addition. Turning the monitor on was surprisingly an issue and my only real issue with the monitor. The connector on the cylinder that powers the monitor is very stiff and you will need to use some force to

Color fades after 2.5 years

I've been using this monitor almost daily for 2.5 years and it's starting to croak. Strangely, I didn't leave it on any screen for more than 30 minutes, but it burned through the image for 20 minutes. I don't really understand why as I haven't had any issues with this in the past and I've had a different display technology with this issue before. It usually gets worse slowly. It was very unexpected. However, this thing was just the right size for me, the image is very high quality, and I've…

  • Unreliable build quality

I really like the combination of high refresh rate and FreeSync/Gsync. This is what makes the movement in the game so smooth. The HDR feature looks really good, although it's a bit slow on Windows. The colors are great too. If you're not using HDR this monitor also gets extremely bright. I think 1080p might not be great for this size as you can see individual pixels fairly clearly, but other than that it's pretty good. The problem occurs after owning it for a while. About a month or two after…

Good picture quality, good monitor!

I bought this monitor for my wife as an upgrade from her old 24" Acer. I have a 1440p 27GL83A-B and I love it so I decided to try the 26GL650F for it. It all came down to it or ASUS 165Hz but I finally settled on the LG 27GL650F based on my experience with the 27GL83A-B and I'm glad I did, the picture quality is fantastic and it has everything I've come to expect from these monitors love how the minimal slim design great picture quality almost no blur just lower resolution 1080p wife loves it…

  • Good but not great

This is a great gaming monitor. I recommend everyone to use the FAST setting as it takes about 4ms. The FASTER setting goes down to 2ms, but with this setting there is incredible overshoot and reverse ghosting. Just stick with FAST. It's not really an HDR monitor, so don't take it for that. More marketing than anything else. Great angles and great colors. No dead pixels, no backlight. 1080p 144Hz is still the best option if you don't have 2080ti or higher. Thing is, at 1440p you're going to…

That's exactly what I wanted

I am easily impressed because I have never had such an amazing monitor! It is very addictive and I really recommend it for beginners. The brightness is great, the refresh rate is phenomenal and there is virtually no glare from sunlight when used during the day!

OK, but there are details.

I like the picture quality, the monitor is still IPS. It has a very noticeable impact on my gaming experience as it's 27 inches tall and buttery smooth. The monitor is REALLY 144Hz. I got 1 star for two minor reasons: When I tried the monitor with an HDMI cable that was not included and connected it to an old laptop, the monitor randomly flashed black when the voltage to my house changed (say us: the fridge turns on), but when I tried the DP cable that came with the monitor and plugged it into…
