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

Old monitor sat to low on table ended up falling while using styrofoam blocks... and it had this on/off button you had to hold for 5 sec to turn it off. Ive got 2 other LG monitors this one included has the on/off button in the same place and you just push in - select power off - very nice and easy. This telescopic stem is just the answer for up/down and tilt... and dont forget that universal on/off button. Very happy with this good buy worth the money so far.

Ordered 1 back in Nov 2022 and the IPS glow was horrendously bad and impossible to ignore when looking at a dark image or website (i.e. a dark themed site). There was a constant bright glow in the bottom left corner that took up about 25% of the display. Its as if the sun was glaring on your monitor, but the blinds are closed... and its night time... I ordered a replacement and that one had the same exact issue. Very likely it was a bad batch considering other people have not reported this and anyone with eyes would have noticed the IPS glow, but I personally wont buy an LG monitor for a while, at least not this line of monitors. I wish I had took some pictures to showcase it, but taking a picture of a monitors display also isnt an accurate measure of how good does this monitor look However, when I was playing games in bright scenes, the display looked great and had a high, smooth refresh rate. I would still recommend it, but if you have this issue, consider talking with Amazon or LG support to see if you can get a replacement from a different batch (or something along these lines) because the IPS glow was not acceptable quality control. Because of this, I wont give a number rating for the picture or brightness quality, but will rate the gaming experience as 4/5.

In the quest for finding the most value for money gaming monitor, prior to buying LG 27GL83A-B I own a Dell S2417DG (1440p with GSYNC) , though the specs are great with this Dell monitor for the price its offered , there were major banding issues with the TN Panel , had to do custom calibration and gamma adjustments to get a picture quality anywhere near to acceptable. With all my other monitors being IPS panel with high color accuracy I just couldnt get satisfied with Dell . As I started searching the market again, every IPS 1440P gaming monitor with high response rate was way beyond my budget for casual gaming. And now LG brought this gem of a IPS gaming monitor to the market for a reasonable price. It doesnt have G-SYNC hardware module like the Dell S417DG since its adaptive sync driven , but really who cares? G-SYNC still works flawlessly with Nvidia GPU , Runs at 144 Hz , great blacks, decent factory calibration and color accuracy and I highly recommend to keep the response rate at factory default . At 144hz the default response time works just fine . To top it LG panel and overall product quality is top notch - no dead pixels, no noticeable bleed, no flimsy plastics. Its a no brainer buy for the price . Go for it and you wouldnt regret. 1440P is the current sweet spot for gaming monitors, unless you own a crazy powerful rig on SLI to run games at 4k. I bet you still wont be able to max out anywhere near to 144hz especially if you are into FPS. Cons: Its hard to be giving any negative for this product considering the price, however few small things 1) You cannot swivel the screen 2) Switching to Faster Response rate causes negative ghosting (Only if you look for it) 3) Doesnt have the RGB light circle behind the monitor like other LG Gaming monitors , instead its a Red Circle strip. Now My Gaming PC (Red and Black theme) and this Monitor goes so well together, I dont even know if thats a Con. Mostly a personal preference or choice.

I bought this monitor for both remote work and gaming about six months ago and its been a significant upgrade from my old Dell U2711, which is now my second monitor. The feature set is good for the price and Ive recommended this monitor to others who are looking for an upgrade for their gaming rig. Pros: - Good picture with low ghosting at high refresh frame rates, when driven from an NVIDIA card in G-SYNC Compatible mode at 144Hz over DisplayPort. The monitor has a setting to control the response time vs. ringing tradeoff, and also shows in the OSD the current frame rates being received from the video card. - Supports HDR video input. - Control panel is fast and responds immediately to joystick controls, unlike some other monitors Ive used that have annoying delays in the menu controls. This includes fast input switching, which I do a lot from having two computers hooked to it. - Runs cool, can barely feel any heat emitted. - No problems taking off the default stand and mounting on a standard VESA monitor arm. Cons: - Some backlight bleed in the lower-left corner, though Ive gotten used to it. From what Ive heard, this can vary significantly from unit to unit. - Really poor sound quality, which sounds like loud bursts of noise when listening to music. Its noticeably worse than any other audio output I have, including the U2711, laptop headphone jack, or USB-C dock, driving it over DisplayPort or HDMI, and with either an NVIDIA or Intel graphics card output. Couldnt figure it out until I played a sine wave sweep in Audacity and heard blatant aliasing around 6KHz. Do not get this monitor if you care about quality from the audio output. - HDR over HDMI from a GTX 1650 Super on Windows 10 was distorted (compressed), though DisplayPort input was fine. Its also not very good at HDR in general, but its useful if you just need to be able to test or experiment with HDR and dont care much about HDR image quality. Additional gotchas: - It has a lot of picture settings that are poorly documented with not necessarily good defaults and can produce a bad quality image. For instance, theres no indication of what Gamma 1 through 4 correspond to. Before gauging the picture quality, reset the Black Stabilizer to 50, double-check against some calibration images, and try the sRGB preset. Fixing this really improved the picture quality. - The monitor can take a 4K (3840x2160) signal and advertises that it can do so over HDMI, even though the panel is only 2560x1440. This can cause Windows to send it a 4K signal even though the resolution is set to 2560x1440, resulting in a blurry image. It can take some fiddling with Windows display and graphics drivers settings to fix this (active signal resolution = 2560x1440 in Settings).

Looks amazing, best bang for your buck!! Was a huge upgrade for me from my old pass me down monitor!

Pros: -144hz -Minimal backlight bleed -OSD easy to use -Comes with display port cable and HDMI cable -extremely easy to setup -stock calibration is decent, only had to modify a few settings. Cons: The stand sits too high at lowest adjustment, so I had to modify my desk to clear. Highest point is roughly 18 3/4 to clear. My calibration on Game 1 Preset: Brightness - 25 Contrast - 70 Sharpness - Default 50 Gamma - mode 2 Color temp - Custom - R58/G49/B48 Adaptive sync - On Black Stabilizer - Default 50 Response time - Fast Aspect ratio - Full Wide Energy Saving - Off Standby - Off All settings at aspect ratio and below optional, I opted to turn the energy stuff off. I Absolutely love this monitor. I first was gonna get the 850 but its been running low on stock for a while now, settled with this variant instead. Just setup today and played a bit of Rainbow six at 144hz and it was perfect. This is the sRGB version of the 27GL850, it also registers on my computer as the 27GL850. If youre stressed for cash and wanna save a bit of money, this one will do fine. Colors look great without the wide range color gamut, and from reading it should mainly be applicable to HDR gaming/photo editing anyways, which the 850 doesnt do a great job at as is. I dont plan on using HDR either. All in all this thing came perfect with no bad pixels, and the backlight looks good. This monitor should have a slightly higher contrast ratio than the 850 (1000:1 while the 850 is around 800:1). I highly recommend this as a viable cheaper option to the 850. If purchasing this with limited vertical space look for a gas shock vesa mount to lower it further or modify your desk for 18 3/4 of vertical clearance. The only difference according to specs is the nano ips panel on the 850, which seems like it has more to do with the color range.

I have owned this monitor for 3 years straight now with ZERO issues. This monitor is boring.. which is a GOOD thing for PC parts. I use it 10-16 hours a day EVERY DAY for work and gaming, never had an issue. One thing i dont like is that the i/o is on the back and not underneath (like going upward into the monitor). This has made other mounting solutions a little difficult, may need a 90 degree cable or adapter for wall or desk mounted setups Other than that its perfect. You wont be upset with this imo.

So I was able to get this on sale for 246$. It is definitley cheap for a 1440P monitor but heres why- The viewing angles and backlight bleed are horrible. Colors out of the box werent great either. I thought to myself its LG it will be good. The monitor itself feels cheap like cheap plastic. It says its IPS but it looks like a Tn Panel. So heres the good- 1440P 144hz Gsync compatible 27 inch. Response time is decent no complaints here. What you need to ask yourself? Do I want a cheap 1440p monitor or spend another 100$ for a quality budget monitor.

Good value. No problems so far.

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