LG 27GN950B UltraGear 4K 144Hz HDR Gaming Monitor with G-SYNC Compatibility and Pivot Adjustment - 27GN950-B Review

While the monitor (like all late bloomers of 2020) should have at least one HDMI 2.1 port like that found in LG's Nano TV range, it doesn't. But honestly, 120fps gaming on next-gen consoles is a pipe dream anyway. The problem is that the PS5 lacks the total HDMI bandwidth required for HDR, VRR and 120Hz (it's capped at around 30 gigabits compared to the 40 gigabit HDMI bandwidth of the X-Series - note I've got both own and enjoy, but I always rely on facts.Basically, the Series X can hardly…

First off I should note that this is my first 4k monitor (finally switched from 1080p) so I might have a pretty biased opinion as this is my first 4k gaming experience. I've had the monitor for a week now, no problems have been encountered with it. I connected this monitor to an RTX 3080 FE and it works great. Setting up G-sync on the monitor was very easy as you just need to enable it in the settings (I didn't touch any other settings on the monitor) and check in the Nvidia control panel if…

I pre-ordered two of these in July when they were first released on Revain and followed them closely until I received them this week. B&H sent them out early but kept pushing back the delivery date. I've wanted to make the move to 4K for a long time and wanted something that would be good for both work and play. I do a lot of graphing and data analysis at work so I need screen access and I had 4K in the office before COVID so it was nice to find something to use at home. As for the game, I…

Oh my god this monitor looks really good, I was finally able to get my hands on a 6900xt card and decided to upgrade to 4K. Since I play most games in single player mode, it makes sense if you play competitively. I don't think this is the best monitor as you may need something like 2k. But for story-rich games, this monitor really works wonders, everything looks clean, and yes, you can even overclock it with DisplayPort to get the best of both worlds at 160Hz.

I am writing this review about 5 months after purchase. Excellent packaging, no dead pixels, overclockable to 159.9Hz at 3840x2160 resolution. I seriously had to replay my entire Steam library to see all my games with the new panel. The backlight of the LED on the back of the monitor can be adjusted using one of the controls, e.g. B. dim, dim, until Eye Fry Sun, gg no re thx. You can also turn it off completely by holding the button for about 3 seconds. I have no buyer's regrets, LG makes…

So you already know this is a 4K display at 144Hz (160Hz after a firmware update!). I can confirm that mine looks beautiful and I can see the amazing refresh rate in action. The physical design of the display is also great. I like that the bezel is thin and unbranded (wish there was a 1440p display with the same build to use as a second display). The legs are the only noticeable "gamer" part of the display, but they look great on my $30 hand. I've used a 5K iMac and a Macbook Pro at work for…

I originally bought an LG UltraFine panel that had significant blowouts in both bottom corners. In the end I returned it. Thinking that maybe an extra $150 for this panel would give me better quality control, I bought this panel. Unfortunately, although the highlights in the bottom corners of this panel aren't as pronounced, they're still present and sometimes distracting in darker scenes. . It looks like the bottom corners of both panels are slightly curved backwards, or maybe the middle of…

In general, the screen is good, but not for me. The stand is great, it can be adjusted in many ways, but the back is too bulky which makes the screen feel closer to me. The RGB on the back is fine, but the software for it seems outdated. In order for rgb to respond to what was happening on the screen, I had to manually turn it on every time I turned on my computer. The RGB wasn't that accurate anyway. RGB is really bright and looks good in rainbow mode. The screen looks great, very bright and…

I originally used an LG 1440p monitor which I added an older version (first version) of this monitor to my system by moving the 1440p as a second monitor. Eventually the 1440p monitor developed a magenta vertical line defect (hell) and I had to replace it with a second 4k monitor. While setting up this monitor, I noticed a new option in the Game Settings tab. Overclocking with on/off settings. Flicked the ON switch and was greeted with a 160Hz refresh rate. I was very surprised and very happy…

Despite a significant increase in price since I bought mine last year, this is STILL quite possibly my favorite piece of PC hardware I've ever bought. The picture quality is phenomenal and I consider myself a true videophile. For a gaming monitor, the specs are insane - brightness, contrast, black levels, color reproduction, motion clarity, refresh rate, input lag, settings, etc. It's easily the best I've seen on a dedicated gaming monitor. and nothing compares to it. Every gamer friend I've…

This monitor is fantastic. 4K looks nice and crisp (and you can even adjust the sharpness if you want a little more), the high refresh rate is great, G-Sync works as advertised, excellent color accuracy out of the box, all for less than $1,000 (what a miracle in January 2021 when I bought it). There are only two downsides to this monitor: HDR isn't that great. Looks good, but blacks look a bit washed out to me compared to the non-HDR mode. The second complaint is that the monitor stand sucks. I

RGB on the back really isn't needed. it doesn't look like you're going to see it, and it still doesn't stay on after you turn on the computer, so what's the point. The legs are really big. If your desk is less than 20 inches deep, you will have trouble fitting a keyboard in front of it. I have to have the monitor at the very edge of my desk most of the time. Most wall mounts will NOT work with this rear mount. The screen gets very hot.

If you're lucky and get a monitor that doesn't flicker or tilt on the monitor arm, then this monitor is a great buy. Bought twice, the first time the monitor armrest tilted and the screen flickered out of the box. Sent back and bought a second one. The second has a sloping arm, but the screen is perfect. Decided to leave as I will still be using separate hands. Prepare to return the item due to defects. The product itself is excellent if there are no flaws

This ad is excellent. 4K, 144Hz, 10-bit HDR, everything is great. However, the stand is terrible, it is very thick, the monitor is 20cm from the wall and the stand is very high, the monitor is too high above the table. even at the lowest settings. I ended up buying a third party stand but encountered a different problem. The monitor I/O ports are located next to the VESA mount. Why? The stand's VESA plate covered the ports, so I had to cut the metal to use the new stand without blocking the…

Let's get the cons out of the way first: I started expecting a better display than my 4k LG 27UK500 panel since it costs twice as much, but it doesn't. Maybe I'm just lucky, or it could be because I only use factory settings and don't use calibration as I don't have a calibrator and I think users shouldn't (your mileage may differ from factory). . Calibration may vary by display). As with the 27UK500, this isn't the best HDR experience either; In my opinion, HDR makes this monitor worse and…

If you're willing to pay a high price for this monitor, I'm sure you already know most of its specs, and I don't need to repeat why this is a great gaming monitor. He marks almost all reviews for an amazing gaming experience. The only thing I wasn't aware of and what really annoys me is that the USB ports on the back aren't self-powered. The monitor must be

The HDR is fantastic, the brightness borders on too bright which isn't bad, and 144Hz works fine with FreeSync. Highly recommended. The USB function is also very practical.

I should have bought this monitor years ago. 4k is unmatched. Words don't do justice. Up to 160Hz when gaming? Crazy. Expensive insurance.

Good monitor, but for the money I would have liked more sharpness. The picture is not quite what I expected from 4k. Thanks for attention!
