🖥️ LG 27GL850-B Ultragear Gaming Monitor 2560x1440p, Adjustable Tilt & Pivot, High Dynamic Range (HDR), 27GL850-B.AUS, HD Review

I have to start by saying I switched to this monitor from a basic 1080p TV setup and was on the verge of upgrading to full 4K for my gaming rig, but I'm glad I settled on this lovely 27" 1440p LG Ultragear and it has exceeded all my expectations. I have been playing my PS4 Pro on a 4K 60Hz TV but this is the first gaming screen above 1080p that I have personally and for me this monitor has a much better picture quality. To be honest I put it in a pretty good build (i7 10700K, GTX 2070 Super…

I am writing this review as a former owner of 3 Asus PG279Q and one PG279QZ. I was drawn to this area of the monitor market because I don't think 4K displays are worth it at this point. My understanding is that most of these are a compromise as the bandwidth requirements are needed to run 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, wide color gamut, 144Hz+ refresh rate and 3840 x 2160 resolution simultaneously. is much better served with DP 1.5 or HDMI 2.1 (proper HDR wouldn't hurt either). While one could argue

Although I think it is a beautiful monitor panel with rich colors and great resolution, my issue with this monitor was that it was not compatible with the highest settings of the X/S series. I think LG should update the firmware of these models. let me explain. The highest settings you can run on an Xbox is 120fps at 4k, but as of Feb 2021 you can only buy 2 sane, reliable screens that will do 120fps at 4k with adaptive sync (since Xbox uses AMD) over HDMI 2.1 . It's a 32-inch Samsung OLED TV…

Below is my first review and I'll leave it there so people can learn from my mistake. I ordered a second monitor like this because I thought it must be defective. I was wrong. When I opened this new one before unpacking and setting everything up, I wanted to test it out first, so I just pulled the monitor out of the box with the power supply included. The same thing happened with the previous model with my displayport cable which was brand new, the other day I tried the cable which I thought…

A while ago I was thinking about what kind of monitor to choose. Coming from a 4k display, but a pretty cheap 60Hz TN panel I got on a Black Friday deal a few years ago. High refresh rate 4k panels are too expensive (and I don't think my graphics card can beat them), but I wasn't sure I wanted to trade resolution for frame rate. My first impression after a few hours of using the 27-GL850-B is that I made absolutely the right decision. Picture quality is superior to my old monitor - the better…

Amazing picture and quality out of the box. Very clearly. I would rate it 9.9 out of 10. If you set the response speed to "Faster" in your monitor settings, slight ghosting occurs. HOWEVER, I have found NO benefit of this setting, so you can leave it on "Fast" (default) and there will be no ghosting in this setting. I'm not sure if overclocking to 165Hz will fix the problem, but I don't need another 19Hz. As noted in some reviews, despite the lack of speakers, the monitor is recognized by…

This monitor is great for gaming. However, I would like to point out two peculiarities. First, the monitor doesn't have speakers, but my Windows 11 still wants to send audio to it. Not sure if it's the monitor or Windows 11, but once I switched the settings to the headset everything worked great. Another feature is that the monitor is very bright. Almost too bright, for example, even if I reduced the brightness a lot. I can't play with him in a dark room because he's too tired for my eyes in…

This is definitely a good monitor and was very easy to set up with the included stand. The picture is very sharp and clear, everything looks smooth when used in games. The only negative thing about this monitor is that the image looks like it has an inverted curve. That could be because I used a curved monitor for years before getting this monitor, so my eyes may just need to get used to using the flat monitor again. It's also a great monitor, and the stand that comes with it isn't too big so…

I've been using the va curved panel for years and decided to give it a try as my new main monitor. Both monitors are 27 inches, of course, and color is noticeably better on this LG monitor. There MAY be a 1ms response, but you will get pixel overruns resulting in white shadows around moving images on screen, so I keep the 4ms setting, which doesn't bother my game at all, even in games like Call of Duty I don't even notice. , I don't know why, but maybe it's just because my eyes are used to…
