LG UltraGear FHD 27-Inch Gaming Monitor 27GN800-B, IPS 1ms (GtG) with HDR 10 Compatibility, NVIDIA G-SYNC, and AMD FreeSync Premium, 144Hz, Black

The Monitor is great picture-wise. This is the first 1440p monitor I bought. Unfortunately it did not end well. The motion blur, no matter what I did in my pc, game, or on the screens options. The motion blur was just too much. It made me sick with how much motion it was. I am coming from a 1080p monitor that had almost 0 motion blur so it made this monitor difficult. Another annoyance it had was that it promoted itself with numerous cords. But all I received when I unboxed it was a Display port and the power cable. I used display port primarily, but the HDMI would have been useful as a back up (probably being too picky). Another thing, the weight. Even without the stand, it started to bend my monitor mount. My 1080p monitor was the same size, but so much lighter. I would game and slowly the weight would keep bending the mount to the point the screen rotated slightly. If you are use to a higher motion blur, understand LGs option navigation system for settings, and are prepared for the weight of it. This is a great option, just not a option for myself.

I would buy another monitor. Just tonight mine failed. After 9 months of use, booted my PC and it had a ton of red vertical lines on it, and it was unresponsive. Got it to work after a bit but there was so much artifacting and vertical lines that I chose to try and RMA it. Support site is buggy and took awhile to submit. Still waiting on a response but these reviews really don’t tell a great story. Monitor is a sweet deal if you know, it didn’t break in under a year (that’s just so unacceptable)

Picture quality is great but audio out/headphone doesnt work and came defective. It just sends a constant loud hum. I have my PC connected with display port and my Xbox series x through HDMI but the Xbox needs audio through the HDMI to get to external speakers. I wanted to run both audio from my PC and Xbox through their respective cables to the monitors audio out but it is defective. I looked online and found many others with the same problem. It just emits a loud hum and doesnt work.

Es un muy buen monitor. El HDR no es muy impresionante a comparación de otras marcas pero ha funcionado bastante bastante bien. Lo he utilizado para juegos y la verdad es que no tengo perdidas en la imagen.

Worked great until 1 day after the return window closed (!!!), then it started flickering like crazy whenever it was in HDR mode at 144Hz. Was happy until then. Now I cant use it for the features I specifically bought it for.

The monitor itself is very nice and the image quality is also great but from someone who has just switched from 1080p 240hz I could tell the 144hz difference quite a bit more than expected. The material the frame and stand are made of are like fingerprint magnets. Once that finger print is there there is no such thing as wiping it away its the weirdest thing. Also if you have a curved monitor and are planning to switch to this one maybe try to see it in person some how first because wow I didnt think a curved monitor made any difference but to my surprise it makes a huge difference.

The features and image quality are fantastic, especially for the price of this monitor. The monitors UI is quick and intuitive, although if you have multiple video sources the source auto select can be frustrating (can be turned off). A 32 inch monitor with these same features is nearly double the price of this model and coming from a 32 inch monitor I must admit this size makes more sense for gaming. VA gaming panels do not come anywhere near the brightness, contrast or color depth of this monitor, I cannot go back. A few things to note, the stand can only be tilted and stand is pretty short which was immediately annoying as a taller person. The mounting holes on the back of the monitor is well positioned and stays out of the way of all cables. However it is not the standard VESA sizing but larger. With an adjustable stand this monitor is fantastic.

Xbox one-It will do 1440@120hz with freesync active. It took a bit of work to apply. Had to turn input setting to auto and freesync off on monitor then apply 120hz in xbox settings. Then back to monitor to turn freesync on. I cant remember if hdr is working or not, if it is it wasnt much of a difference. Prior to this it would only do 1080@120hz and 1440@60hz. Not sure why it was so much work. And by work I mean days of research . I almost gave up and I questioned my hdmi cable.

Worked great for a month and then suddenly during normal use, bottom half of screen turned into intermittent white lines. Returned to LG for repairs which took about 4 weeks all total. Repaired screen has one dead pixel but I dont feel like RMAing it again. Its small enough on the 1440p screen to be negligible. Overall would choose another brand in the future.

The viewing angles for the monitor could be better for an IPS panel. The blacks change color to grey at angles over 30°
