Too big to play with and unnecessarily annoying

The product came, the screen had scratches, fingerprints. Otherwise, the monitor is solid, but since I'm an FPS gamer, the side-to-side view is very annoying. Your eyes hurt and my head hurts. Everything else is good, but I choose the 27" version because I like the quality and the overclocking capability.

Fantastic! good for me

Fantastic It works great, very fast. The LG screen has always been one of my favorites. I bought it on December 7th, 2021 and it has worked very well so far.

Great multifunction monitor.

I use it as my main monitor every day. It offers excellent frame and refresh rates for desktop and gaming. Quite expensive but I had no regrets. There is a mini joystick on the bottom for controlling brightness, I/O, settings and headphone volume, easy to use even in a dark room. Now I'm spoiled by the high refresh rate of this monitor! I can't go back to anything below 60 fps without noticing some volatility.

Nice monitor! to my rating.

I bought it in used, acceptable condition and it looks practically new without a single scratch. This monitor was a huge upgrade for my Samsung 1080p monitor. It is very bright with exceptional color. You will be very satisfied if you choose this model.

I never knew best in my review

I never knew the monitor could change during gameplay. I'm a little older than most online gamers and a little frugal than most gamers. I usually buy a $300 monitor and pay it back. Well, this time I wanted to give myself a gift. Now I don't know all the technicalities and what they actually do, but I will say that I prefer cash on delivery at the moment and this 32 GP850B changed the whole game for me. I just got the monitor yesterday and am still trying to find a tutorial on how to set it up…

Panel lottery: my rating

All I can say about the Pannel Lottery. Bought for 350€ for Christmas. The best deal I've ever seen and I couldn't pass up on it, almost a week later I received it well packaged, no defects at all. The Lg Ultragear line has really picked up steam over the last few years. I would say this monitor is as good as you can get for the price, even branded competitors currently have due to Samsung, BenQ and LG. wonderful prices. 5 stars for a powerful 2K monitor. Works on PC Xbox PS4 and so on. GREAT…

Great monitor with a problem!

Overall a great monitor. The gaming experience is incredible! The picture is AMAZING! The only problem I have, like many reviews, is bleeding in the lower right corner. I'm not sure why it's there, but it is. So it is very noticeable in dark scenes! But overall this is a really great monitor for gaming. Even with the backlash in the corner, I don't regret my purchase one bit! Great for games!

Great monitor, but there was ONE PROBLEM

The screen looked great. Beautiful and very bright. Colors aren't the most accurate if you're into video/photo editing. But I think everything except the fact that the monitor is a beautiful monitor. I just had one big problem. The screen sometimes flickered on white pages. It turned on and off whenever it wanted. I no longer risked it flickering or otherwise degrading, so I decided to return it before my return window closed. I tried playing around with the refresh rate settings and different…

Don't worry, no buyer's regrets

I honestly didn't know how bad I felt. When I compared this monitor to my budget gaming monitor I was blown away by how great the picture is. And frankly annoyed when I realized how bad I was. There are no halos that my eyes can see. The color is bright and accurate. Contrast is good for IPS. When viewed in the dark, the IPS glows a bit compared to my VA monitor, but I can't expect anyone to break the laws of physics. Worth every penny. I honestly want to buy another one. Now I have a dual…

Backlight bleeding/IPS glow

The panel itself is good if it weren't for the horribly poor IPS glow. As I write this, I've been sent another one, so I'll provide an upgrade with an improved rating when this issue is resolved. Otherwise I put everything back together.

Nothing bad. I feel like I can shop better

A pretty decent monitor for the price. I definitely have a feeling there are problems. It doesn't work well with Diablo 3 at max. It has light and shadow issues even when changing the settings. Nothing bad. It is used. It's not what I was hoping for.

In my opinion, that is very good

When I first got it I thought the holly ***** was big! That's what I wanted, starting at 24ft 32in, it's a big leap, let's forget height. Let's talk quality, it's absolutely gorgeous! No naughty pixels, amazing colors, smooth gameplay. Negative, the contrast isn't the best compared to VA, but who sees a black screen? You want color and smoothness! That's why you get this monitor.

Summary: Think twice before you buy if you have more than 2 monitors and/or more than 2 PCs. The GP850 has a strange deep sleep issue that causes Windows to get confused and clutter up (a problem with 2+ monitors). GP750 does not switch input source automatically and you have to click 68 times to switch manually (problem with 2+ PCs).

Wow! which update

Very impressed, came out 1080p 24" 60Hz. Thing is much better, very crisp, pumps 165Hz at 2560 x 1140. Will definitely buy again.

Fast but terrible contrast

If you want good contrast and brightness, look elsewhere. I will give this monitor to someone else. I love 180Hz but not worth it.

My experience with this monitor

I wanted a high resolution monitor for general use. The monitor is advertised for gaming, so maybe it should only be used for that. Images and videos look good but lack detail and text looks fuzzy even at maximum resolution. It also has a slight shadow effect in brightness, extending about an inch and a half in from the left and right sides of the screen. I wanted to use it for CAD drawings that require a lot of detail that this monitor doesn't provide, so I'm returning it.

Compromised quality

The IPS glow in the lower right corner is the worst I've seen on an IPS monitor. There are a few people who have posted pictures in other reviews and they hit the spot. This is what you will get, don't think you will get a panel out of a million. To complete the shine, you're probably getting the worst gaming monitor available today when it comes to a contrast ratio of around 1:800. They've redesigned the menu and made it very nice and pretty while doing it also a lot slower than what you get…

Defect (Update: new firmware problem fixed!)

This monitor is great aside from the fact that it won't turn off after playing for over 2 hours straight. The front buttons just don't work anymore. It's annoying having to unplug this stupid thing just to turn it off. UPDATE: There is new firmware for this monitor that fixes the issue. After installing the update from LG's website, everything works as expected.

Excessive IPS glow and backlight

I have already tested three of these LG 32GP850-B monitors. This particular model seems to have excessive glowing/bleeding compared to other makes and models in general. Next; The picture is clear, the colors are decent, the response time is fast, the refresh rate is high, the design is simple. I like the lack of noticeable ghosting and black spots like my previous Dell S3220DGF VA monitor. It's a great gaming monitor as far as specs go, but I would ONLY recommend it if you can ignore the…

that is the middle very very middle

This is a fur umbrella. Not the best, not the worst. Regret the purchase, the 32-inch looks like a TV but the refresh rate is good. 300 for 1440p and from lg. I was oh boy it's a steal But it comes with a decent quality Displayport cable, and installation is very easy. HDR is a trick that makes colors look washed out.
