Review on LG Electronics 27GN750 B Compatibility Adjustable 1920X1080P, 240Hz, Blue Light Filter by Flip Bragg

I can return this monitor before the end of next month (January 21st) I guess because I bought it during the holiday window. If I don't have any more negative surprises, I keep it to myself. Here is my experience with it since the end of November. First off, it's IPS and 240Hz refresh, no doubt about that. Great colors, average contrast, good gamma curve and good calibration out of the box. I am very satisfied with ONE of the display modes. This presents my first problem: only Player 1 mode allows full control over all picture and color functions in the on-screen menus. All others, including "Player 2", obscure most of these options. For example, I cannot change gamma, color temperature or black level in any mode other than "Player 1". That includes modes that aren't even designed for gaming. Only brightness can be adjusted in Vivid and HDR Effect modes! Why? It's an embarrassing limitation, especially for a $400 monitor. The second issue is an external power supply that has three AC pins sticking out. I don't understand why the power supply can't be internal. This is a desktop monitor, not a portable device. But even ignoring that, they should at least have provided a power cord that connects the power adapter to an outlet. I actually bought a 3 foot AC extension cord to complete her design as it should have been instant. Plugging the device directly into an extension cord was impractical, both because of the short DC cord from monitor to monitor and because several plugs on the extension cord would be blocked by a brick. The third question, stand. It's this front V shape that invades my workspace. This limits how far I can move my keyboard away from the front edge of my desk. It also doesn't allow rotation (left/right), but you can adjust the height and rotate the screen to portrait mode (90 degrees). However, unlike my previous ASUS monitor, I cannot slide the monitor as far as I would like from my desk. The fourth problem: no speakers. Now I know that monitor speakers are invariably lousy, but it's good to have them as a replacement for monitors that handle digital audio anyway. But for some reason they are not here. There is an audio output which I use for my decent external speakers. It works well and even has a volume control in the monitor's OSD menu. But anyone who wants built-in speakers won't like this product. The highlight is excellent pixel response with no nasty overshoot and a high refresh rate with Freesync and G-Sync compatibility. Even on Windows, moving objects or scrolling is crisp and clear. No blurring or ghosting. The picture is very nice and it's the first LCD monitor I've owned that can resolve each block in a luminance history graph, which I've been using as a reference for a long time. Gaming at variable frame rates in excess of 100fps with no screen tearing or dropping frames is pure pleasure. It makes up for my other negative experiences. I've learned to work around weird monitor limitations by using the Nvidia Control Panel to provide additional optimizations when using display modes other than "Player 1". Luckily, the Nintendo Switch I also connected to looks good too, although it doesn't have any fancy display settings.
