Product Information

I've had it for a few years and been mostly satisfied with it but I had been wanting to upgrade to an IPS for a while. Like at its max refresh rate, the 'Normal' overdrive setting results in the clearest motion with the least amount of overshoot. Feel actual combat with true colors 27GN850 supports wide color spectrum, 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, expressing high-fidelity color for reproducing with HDR10, enabling realistic visual immersion. It has a wider gamut than the sRGB (mainly in the cyan-green range of colors) and is widely used in professional printing. The front feet connect to the main pillar in an odd fashion, and I wish LG had kept its logo off for a cleaner aesthetic.

Incredible speed to victory With IPS 1 ms comparable to TN speed, providing the minimized afterimage and a fast response time, helps you to raise your winning rate. It only gets a bit brighter than in SDR, and highlights quickly lose their brightness the longer they stay on the screen. If you're not a fan of gaming on the enormous OLED monitors that have been available in the past but want high refresh rates and the visuals of OLED, this might be what you've been waiting for. Of course, if you want a true HDR experience on a gaming monitor, you need to find one with FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) lighting, but this array of LEDs behind the panel instead of edge lighting costs a lot of money. Once again, the 'Normal' overdrive setting results in a lot less overshoot than the 'Fast' and 'Faster' settings, and motion looks buttery smooth.The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. After calibrating the monitor, I was able to pull 1% more DCI-P3 coverage out of it, correct the white point, and increase the color accuracy from 0. It's similar to the LG 27GN950-B, and it's made entirely out of basic, plastic materials that feel solid.

I got a new PC with a RTX 3060 and although it isn't a 4k monitor, the maximum resolution of 2560x1440 looks fantastic. That translates to faster, smoother gaming that’s been tested to reduce screen tearing, while minimizing stutter and input lag.If you’re someone who likes to play games at night and don’t need the wide gamut and color accuracy, you may prefer to opt for a cheaper VA panel. Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Display Information about the main characteristics of the display - panel, backlight, resolution, refresh rate, etc. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.

They both have outstanding response time and low input lag for gaming, but the MSI has a slightly higher 165Hz refresh rate.

It also has a low contrast that makes blacks look gray in the dark and lacks a local dimming feature to further improve it.

There are different types of matte and glossy coatings, each of which has its own advantages and drawbacks.Could use a little more width if you wanted it, eg ultrawide but it replaced a faulty Samsung 32 inch curved which was too big and that was an upgrade from LG 24 inch. The 4K panel is capable of displaying extremely sharp and crisp images, so it’s a little weird that the OSD is rendered a little fuzzy, though it’s not like you’ll spend a ton of time here anyway, and it’s still better than most. For older games, this won’t be as much of an issue, but today’s AAA titles, especially those with ray tracing, will be heavy to push. If I had it as a standalone monitor I probably wouldn't notice it as much but having it next to the GL83A really highlights the differences.
