> 3 dayI got the LG 27GN800-B monitor as a secondary to accompany the LG 27GL83A-B Ive been using as a primary. Its a good monitor like the 83A, with low motion blur when gaming and plenty of features. However, comparing the two, I would say that the 83A is the slightly better monitor: - The 83As stand is height adjustable, the 800s isnt. (Not an issue if you VESA mount.) - The 83A has an sRGB mode. - The 800s HDR support is completely broken. It tries to pretend to be a 1000 nit display and everything looks muddy as a result when HDR is turned on in Windows. The 83A is not great at HDR, but looks a lot better then the 800 at it. - Its harder to adjust brightness on the 800. On the 83A, joystick up/down goes straight to brightness, while on the 800 it brings up a useless accessibility menu instead and you have to go down three layers of menus to get to brightness instead. (Why they didnt put in both on different directions is beyond me.) On the other hand: - The 800 has a black frame insertion mode when running >100Hz. - The 800 audio output isnt broken like the 83As, which distorts everything above 6KHz. Thus, unless you care about the audio output, I would get the LG 27GL83A-B instead.

> 3 dayGreat all-around picture quality. I noticed an immediate difference going from 1080 to 1440p

20-11-2024Great screen, however, this one will not go vertical when it states it does. It also is not adjustable so if you want to raise the screen you will have to get a stand. You can only tilt it up and down slightly. Great video quality from all angles, and love the thin boards. Make sure you check the settings to make sure youre optimizing the right ones. On both the monitor and your pc.

> 3 dayCool monitor. Gaming on it is pretty good with no problems so far. The only real problem I have is the stand that takes up too much room with a weird angle

> 3 dayI was originally using 1080p 60hz panels, all various Samsung Models, however, I finally upgraded to these new LG monitors (currently have 3 of them) and definitely cant ever go back to 1080p60. 144Hz is game changing, literally games run so much smoother with that low response time and high refresh rate. the IPS panel definitely makes things look vibrant and colorful in game, watching movies. etc. I also do things in Photoshop and Premiere Pro and definitely love having the bigger screen to work with when editing for colors and also more space overall in the programs.
