LG UltraGear QHD 27-Inch Gaming Monitor 27GL83A-B - IPS 1ms (GtG), with HDR 10 Compatibility, NVIDIA G-SYNC, and AMD FreeSync, 144Hz, Black

This monitor serves my purpose just as I need. 144hz IPS 1440p. However, the first thing I did after setting it up was running the online ghosting test. After less than 5 minutes, I was left with burn marks from the white dots for the pursuit camera (the white dots in the black bars between the UFOs). I contacted support, performed a hard reset, and everything was back to normal. Trust me when I say it passed the test, though. There is a small amount of blur, 2millimeters at its worst, but these are the limits of IPS panels (especially budget IPS panels). It is likely the ghosting test just doesnt play nice with certain monitors due to its nature, but for a burn in to occur within 5 minutes of using the monitor is alarming, to say the least. Therefore: TURN ON YOUR SLEEP MODE I will be keeping this monitor, should I have no more issues. I will update this review if there is any more burn in and if it is permanent or not, and how it was caused. Update: It has been almost a year, and this monitor still performs beautifully. No dead pixels, no increase in blur.

Good value. No problems so far.

This monitor gets the job done EXACTLY the way I need it to. I bought this monitor since I wanted to upgrade my picture quality from 1080p to 4K for a few years now and lately I have been putting my screens in grayscale to prevent myself from allocating too much time on activities that shouldnt be prioritized during certain times of the day and week; however, this monitor doesnt have a preset grayscale setting, so if you want to create one like I did then go to one of the premade settings, select Picture Adjust, and turn all of the Six Color settings to zero and hit save. I also setup another premade setting to be exactly like my custom grayscale setting but with color so I can easily and quickly switch between both modes.

Excellent monitor! Just upgraded from an LG 1080p 60hz IPS panel to this one and the difference is clear. Images/text on screen is much sharper and I can tell movement with the mouse cursor on the desktop is much smoother. I set the display scale to 125%, which now matches with my older 1080p monitor at 100%, otherwise text and desktop apps are just too small for my taste. You can really get an idea of smoothness during gaming. I play games where high FPS is preferred. Currently playing Halo Infinite on older hardware (GTX 1660 ti) but enough that I get about 70-72fps on medium graphics settings. Even with that, and response time set to fast I can already tell the difference in smoothness of gameplay compared to my old monitor. And I should mention the obvious jump in visual clarity is instantly noticeable! Just be sure your graphics card AND CPU can handle 1440p and produce high framerates especially for graphically intensive games. I noticed that in-between games my web browsing has slowed substantially due to CPU bottleneck while using this monitor (again just a limitation caused by older hardware). The joystick style menu control and layout is simple and easy to operate. This monitor even comes with an HDMI cable AND a DisplayPort 1.4 cable! Got mine for $280 and at this price point you really cant go wrong with this monitor.

No problems / No flickering. I purchased two of these monitors. Both work great. To those complaining about the advertised refresh rate, make sure your Pc/Xbox/PlayStation/ display supports it. Works good on my pc.

The picture and refresh rate is perfect. And what a lot of people don’t know is that this monitor is also 4k. This is a great value for your money.

It is hard to convey what youve never had. I didnt realize how much of a difference this monitor would make because Id never had such a good monitor. The colors are deep, the picture is accurate, there is no ghosting or even a hint of it - its just so smooth. And I had a really good Dell ultrasharp for gaming. I also didnt realize how much I would like 1440 gaming. Or the high refresh rate. EVERY game I have looks like new. Its just wonderful. You cant go wrong with this one.

Thought this would be a great budget option to upgrade from my 27 1080p 60hz LG monitor as I own a PS5 and wanted to have improved resolution and response time. Im more of a casual gamer so I primarily use my monitor for work from home tasks and teams sharing. After using for for WFH I noticed significant eye strain compared to my previous monitor. May be just adjusting to the smaller resolution but I saw a lot of users with similar issues on Reddit. After more research I realized this is using a BOE MV270QHM-NF1 panel and not an LG panel and I also observed significant glow in the lower left hand corner. Gaming on my PS5 was great (turn off adaptive sync to get 1440p 120hz) but ultimately as this is a productivity first monitor I had to send it back. If youre just looking for a strictly gaming option at an affordable price wait for it to drop down to $246 and pick it up.

Absolutely LOVE this monitor. Had now for 2 years and can’t say enough about it.
