LG 27GQ50F-B 27 Inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) Ultragear Gaming Monitor with 165Hz and 1ms Motion Blur Reduction, AMD FreeSync Premium and 3-Side Virtually Borderless Design

Got this on a black Friday sale after selling both my previous Asus KA272 monitors. The jump from 75hz refresh to 165 was astronomical. Please utilize the capabilities of the DisplayPort for your PC though.

I am not a serious gamer but when I got a new computer I decided to also get a new monitor. Computer is pretty high end with top line graphics card. Not sure I am getting full quality out of GPU with this monitor but the picture is good. It is very thin with the power supply being external. Got it on sale so I think worth the amount I paid and very good quality that will be good for majority of users

I bought this monitor because I recently purchased an Xbox Series X, and, after purchasing another monitor realized you cannot access 120hz on a 144hz monitor through its HDMI ports. There arent many monitors that DO do this, so its important to do your research. This monitor does allow you to access the 120fps your next gen console provides through HDMI, and is a great get for the price (although I believe the price has gone up from when I got it for $179.99).

I like the LG monitor but the settings button under the computer where you shut it off or change the contrast etc is just weird and I’m not a fan of it. I’ve gotten so used to it on the side panel. The picture quality is good but not great.

Monitor arrived a day late, which was understandable because of the hurricane in my area. I had a bit of trouble setting it up, but everything you need to install it is in the package. You may want to buy a DisplayPort cable along with this because the monitor only comes with an HDMI cable. It CAN go up to 144hz, despite what another reviewer says. I was confused for a moment because certain presets only go up to 120hz. If you cant find a resolution with 144hz, then create a custom one and it will work. This monitor also comes installed with Freesync (a beauty to behold)! You can tilt the stand forward or backward, but you cant shift it up or down. Not a real big issue for me, but may be for you. All in all, a very nice monitor to have for the price.

If you just want something relatively inexpensive to get you by this will work. This definitely isn’t a high end monitor but I needed something temporarily while traveling and this is working pretty well for that purpose

Works as advertised!!

I had a xfa240 but decided to upgrade(from a xbox perspective) to something that will give me 120 hz. My choices was this, Sceptre E2558B-1658A and Aoc AG241QX. The Aoc was too expensive so it was this or the Sceptra. I chose this one because of a youtube review where a guy said this monitor colors was great looking out the box. I can co sign that statement. This monitor looks beautiful out the box. The only thing i changed was freesync, response time, brightness and i was good to go. This monitor gave me 120 hz on my xbox one x which is what i was looking for. To all the xbox players go head and get you a monitor thats gives 120 hz, its really makes a difference when your playing no matter what the pc geeks say! The crosshairs they provide you are PERFECT. I had a Asus vg245h at one point and couldnt stand their oversized crosshairs but the simple red + sign on this monitor is perfect! The only cons i see about this monitor is you cant save settings, well you can partially. Everytime i turn on my xbox i have to go in settings and enable the crosshair, but what i chose for my freesync and response times stays the same so idk. I wish i could have a user settings option thats keeps everything how i like it. Another con is the port position makes the cables stick out. I had a wall mount that was close to the wall which was fine on the xfa240 but a problem on this monitor. It was a very tight fit for the hdmi cables and impossible for the dvi port. Luckily Microcenter had one with a lil more space from the wall for $10. Also the monitor has no speakers but i knew that before i made the purchase. The creative pebbles is a great addition for $20. Bottom line this was a great purchase for me. I read some reviews from a few years ago where guys said after awhile their monitor screen went all white. Hopefully LG fixed those issues and it doesnt happen to me in the future.....#fingerscrossed

Great for gaming. Product is very light. My only complaint is that the plastic stand it sits on points the monitor at a downward angle.
