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

Im not a techy, but it does what I need it to do. Tinker with the settings to make sure it doesnt automatically adjust brightness and youre ready to clutch it out in Fortnite or whatever Zoomers play

This product functions very well and I am highly satisfied with the purchase, although my only problem is that with the way the border around the monitor is, it would make you think that the border is the small black strip around the edges, but there is actually black gap between the edges and the actual screen, but a good purchase anyways.

Ive owned LG monitors before (specifically an Ultra 4K). I bought this monitor for primarily the specs! I needed 1440p and 144Hz. I have come to realize that a 27 monitor is perfect for me, as 32 and higher tend to be less precise and detailed for this resolution. The brightness is OK, but the color is awesome on this panel. The only area that concerned me at all when I got it up and running is that there is a slight shadowing along the left and right edge of the panel. Not enough to scare me away, but enough that I noticed. I typically only notice it when Im looking for it! Keep in mind when buying a monitor, there is always a bit of panel lottery that you can look forward to. On the bright side, there were NO Stuck or Dead pixels on this panel. My last monitor (pretty much the same specs) had a couple of dead pixels that were unrecoverable. The GUI on the this monitor is accessed on the power button at the bottom of the screen. It is a joystick style button that is very easy to use and make changes with. My last monitor had four specific buttons on the bottom of the monitor to access the GUI. I cant tell you how many times I messed up navigating around with that setup. This one is quick and easy. The available settings are adequate, but not that robust. Enough to dial in the monitor with basic settings. The bezel is fairly borderless on the top and sides. But even though the panel goes almost to the very edge of the display, the lighted area of the panel still leaves a about a quarter inch black border on those three sides. The bottom border has the LG logo, and is about 5/8 tall. The display powers on fairly quickly, and doesnt annoy you with a manufacturers splash screen. It only takes a couple of seconds for power-on to ready! Windows 10 recognized this monitor right away when I hooked it up, and even set itself to 144Hz without me doing anything at all. It is nVidia compatible, and is on nVidias approved list (my last monitor worked just fine, but was not on the approved list). I got this when it was temporarily price reduced, so keep your eye on it, or put it in your wish list items and wait for it to go on sale. This one went on sale, and was sold out on Amazon within half a day. The price jumped almost 30% later the day I bought this one, and was no longer in stock. I dont think you can go wrong with this product, and would recommend it to almost anyone.

This monitor absolutely does not play well with Windows 11. Deep Sleep Mode cannot be disabled and it takes several seconds to wake from sleep, Windows sometimes takes longer to respond. Worse is that when waking from deep sleep mode windows will randomly not maximize fully and a 1/2 of the desktop above the taskbar is cut off. This has something to do with windows scaling as changing the DPI back and forth resets to normal or turning the monitor off and on also resets it. However I believe this problem would not come up if there was an option to turn off deep sleep. And that there is no USB port means the monitor cannot be updated, not that LG would at this point, as they havent with the 850 model. Im not sure how these issues are not discussed in all of the glowing reviews on numerous tech sites as it is pretty well known that deep sleep in general is an issue with these monitors. And that has been fixed with the latest LG 4K model.

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.

I upgraded to this from a 2008 1920x1200 2ms monitor. So I have to say my view may be skewed through that lens. That being said, I am very happy with this purchase. I have an EVGA RTX 3090 FTW and it pumps out great visuals at 1440p! Most games will max out at the 143fps (Windows 11 has a weird thing about decimals in refresh rates, so it defaults to 143 which is entirely fine with me. The viewing angles are very good and when compared side-by-side with my older monitor it is much less glossy. I can see my towers RGB reflecting in my old monitor like a mirror, but on this monitor its just a rainbow colored smudge that I never even notice unless Im looking for it against a black background. The shortcomings would be its lackluster HDR performance and also youre going to want to use a DisplayPort cable to ensure youre getting the max refresh rate with variable refresh rate through your Nvidia/AMD card. For the price, this is an excellent monitor that will look very good in a desktop setup. It even has an audio out port in case you want to use this with a console and not have to depend on headphones for audio.

was misleading as it shows a 144hz when in fact its only 100hz

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).

Went for a 1080p monitor to this and was blown away by the difference. I haven’t found one flaw with this yet. The only thing I didn’t like but it’s not a flaw is the stand color is red. I wish there were different options for that but it doesn’t matter. Can’t wait to get another one of these for a second monitor set up.
