It's awesome. in my view

It's a great monitor, worth its price for 1440p @ 144Hz gaming, and it's packed with features. Be sure to wait for the price drop. The stand is of very good quality.

Garbage stand: my rating

The boner he came with sucks. The stand is only tilt adjustable, not height adjustable. I had to buy a separate monitor stand for it. Buy this if you don't plan on using a stand for it.

  • Designed for gaming, this 1ms (GtG) response time monitor takes full advantage of IPS (In-Plane Switching) to deliver responsive, crisp, high-resolution images for an immersive gaming experience.

  • Poor image quality and resolution.

At first I wasn't happy with warm colors, but there is an opportunity to change the temperature of the light. I turned it cold as it goes and now I'm happy. It's good quality 2k, 144Hz, whatever it says. However, before you start looking for a 2k+ monitor, consider the graphics card you have. My fps (base GPU 2080) was impacted by around 5-10 fps in games where I used to get 60-90 on ultra settings. The smoothness of the refresh rate is very pleasing, a smooth surface without glare or color…

Great quality for the price

I think for $300 this is the best 2k 144hz monitor you can get. The color is a little saturated, but I think it's very good. Can I add something.

Great monitor for editing and gaming

Initially I used 1080p 60hz panels, all Samsung models, but I eventually switched to these new LG monitors (3 currently) and will definitely never be able to go back to 1080p60. 144 Hz is a game changer, games literally run much smoother thanks to low response times and high refresh rates. The IPS panel definitely makes things bright and colorful when gaming and watching movies. etc. I also work in Photoshop and Premiere Pro and I definitely like having a bigger screen to work with when editing

Both monitors turn off randomly for a second

Too bad they have a known bug of accidental and temporary disconnection. I've never had a monitor that did this and searching the internet for this particular problem gives many results that most reviews don't mention. Typical workarounds include installing specific monitor drivers, using specific Nvidia drivers, using different cables, and adjusting the power settings in Windows. They offer excellent value for money, except for one specific issue. Not the best gaming monitor if it turns off…

NOT REGULATED: my rating

Great screen but this one doesn't move vertically when it claims it does. It's also non-adjustable, so if you want to elevate the screen, you'll need a stand. You can only tilt it up and down slightly. Great video quality from all angles and you love skinny boards. Be sure to check your settings to make sure you're tweaking the right ones. Both on the monitor and on the computer.

Decent product: my review

The packaging is very strong, for the most part a great product. The screen looks good. The only criticism is that the viewing angles really aren't the best. See images for context, this is NOT a focus on the camera, just the edges are blurred at certain angles. It's not a serious issue for me, I just noticed that other similar displays haven't had any issues. It's also worth noting that I use a VESA mount, so I can't comment on the stand.

Motion blur madness

The monitor looks great. This is the first 1440p monitor I've bought. Unfortunately it didn't end well. Motion blur no matter what I'm doing on my computer, in game or on screens. The motion blur was too strong. I got tired of how much movement it had. Coming from a 1080p monitor with almost 0 motion blur which made this monitor more difficult. Another annoyance was that he applied with numerous cords. But all I got when I unboxed it was a display port and a power cable. I primarily used the…

Ideally! (if you don't need a stand)

Mine arrived in perfect condition. No dead pixels or noticeable glare from the backlight. In very dark rooms it has some IPS glow (like all IPS panels). I bought this version because I don't need a stand (I have a monitor arm with a Vesa mount): the stand that comes with it is too low and not very adjustable (compare with the LG 27GN850-B if you need a stand) It uses it BOE's MV270QHM_NF1 panel, as shown in the service menu photo. I calibrated mine and the colors are great. best choice for:…

Great for everyday use and those who love games.

I enjoyed my new monitor. I bought this monitor to get my gaming station at least into the 2k range. I didn't want to quickly dive into $500+ 4k monitors. This monitor meets my needs as a mid-range monitor that is great for everyday use between remote work and gaming. So I would recommend this monitor to anyone who wants a quality monitor without breaking the bank.

Terrible anti-reflective coating

This monitor works very well. It's fast and great for competitive gaming. However, the picture quality is just terrible. The anti-glare coating that LG uses is so grainy that at first I thought my screen was dirty. This is immediately noticeable when looking at a white background. It looks bold and grainy and the text is horribly pixelated. For this reason alone I cannot recommend this monitor. save your money

Where are my deep blacks?

I think you get what you pay for and I should have spent a little more. While this monitor is better than the 1080p benQ it replaced, it wasn't the 144fps monitor I was hoping for. It lacks the visibility I was hoping for, but I've heard (I should have listened to) complaints from other reviews. It's not bad, but this monitor can have much deeper blacks and better contrast and brightness. but if you like midtones then this isn't for you.

The best monitors I've ever had

These monitors are amazing. There were some delivery problems. The first set I received was the wrong model, contacted Amazon and they sent a replacement. Then, a week after the replacement, one of the monitors failed. There was a slight delay on the second return as Revain will not allow you to return the same item twice but after a quick chat with a representative and explaining why the first return was made an order was placed to a bad one to replace the monitor. Have had them for a few…

Annoying beep

Update: I found that the annoying sound can be controlled and turned off. The monitor has a speaker that often emits an annoying beep to signal something, but not sure what, and there's no way to turn the sound off. In fact, there is no volume control at all.

It's 1440p 144hz, but it's cheap

I thought I bought the same monitor I bought my wife a few months ago. Same model, same brand, same side etc. Except it had a kickstand that allowed it to be tilted and moved up and down. God, I was disappointed when she didn't have both. To top it off, it doesn't have an "auto-detect" input. I mean it says yes, but it doesn't switch to the only source (HDMI1) when it's on, I have to switch it manually every time. takes up more than 1 slot on the power strip), so keep that in mind.

Overall 9/10. It would have been nice to have a height adjustment (add a star for that) 10/10 for gaming and picture quality.

The monitor itself is great. Just plan to buy another stand or desk mount like me. The included stand is NOT adjustable AT ALL and points downward at an awkward angle.

Q: Is there a way to increase the height of the monitor?
