27GL83A-B 27-Inch Ultragear QHD 2560 x 1440 IPS Gaming Monitor, 144Hz, 1ms (GtG), NVIDIA G-SYNC, AMD FreeSync, HDR10, HDMI, DisplayPort, Tilt/Height/Pivot Adjustable Stand, Black

I've had this since Nov 2024. Still no complaints. Solid picture, colors haven't faded. I'm not wildly picky about things but I've got no complaints. I do PC gaming, but more of a casual gamer. Great monitor, the research I did before getting it seems to have paid off. Pairs well with my graphics card.

I'd like to start by saying, ever since LG invented the wallpaper TV, I've developed loyalty, strictly on their displays for everything. They are cheaper then Samsung, yet more innovative, so, kudos. That said, if my review sounds at all biased, I'm sorry. There are no defects on the monitor I received. Ran an Ezio test and found nothing that stands out. Something to be aware of, is that if you purchase a VESA mount, it needs to be 100x100, and even if that mount has spacers, you may need some washers to compensate for a gap. The reason for this, is to keep the back flat and uniform when installing the stand it comes with, but considering monitors these days are naturally very thin, this causes a problem by limiting the female port length for the screws needed to secure a VESA mount. In my case, 8 small washers I had left over from other projects fixed this problem. Something else worth noting is it is Nvidia G-Sync compatible (there is an attractive sticker showing this monitor is capable of it on the bottom left that I'm assuming can be removed). My Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super recognized that it is a G-Sync compatible monitor, and I was able to enable G-Sync thru the Nvidia Control Panel, however, when you view settings on the monitor itself, it is called "Adaptive Sync." From what I've read, this is because they used to be one in the same, and it works just the same as far as I can tell. Enabling it in the Nvidia Control Panel made the monitor settings show Adaptive Sync: Enabled. One feature I really liked that I wasn't aware of when buying this monitor, is that the settings button is a small joystick. If clicked in it opens the settings window, if towards you or away from you, it allows you to adjust the brightness, and left or right is headphone volume. Overall very nifty for one button. If you need a VESA mount but aren't sure what to get, this is what I ordered: VIVO Dual LCD Monitor Desk Mount Stand Heavy Duty Fully Adjustable fits 2 /Two Screens up to 27" (STAND-V002). Mine is a dual mount but you can choose between double and single. The mount itself is extremely sturdy. Zero wobble and aesthetically pleasing, as it has a cable management system and you can hide the VIVO logo on the main support pole if you want to (I did, I'm not the biggest fan of logos). But not to veer off the topic or review, 2560 x 1440 @ 144hz for under $400 from LG w/ G-Sync compatibility is the most perfect monitor I could ask for. 2k is ideal for gaming as 4k is too demanding for AAA titles (for about 90% of the Gaming PC Community and 100% of the eSports Community). One last thing I've noticed, is that I have had a 4k screen in the past, and noticed the resolution makes everything extremely tiny (the taskbar being the most obvious reference). 2k is the sweet spot, because it's not too small, but there is now enough real estate for a 27" monitor to be all I need (for gaming). When I get into photo editing, etc., I will likely purchase a 4k monitor, but only for shows, movies, and editing. I do self-taught audio production work, and 27" 2k is more then enough for me. Some producers use widescreen monitors, which is great for them, I'm sure, but not necessary after seeing this thing. Thank you LG, for the ultimate monitor, and thank you Amazon, for an undamaged product.

This is a beautiful monitor. I had a 60Hz monitor that I had been using for many years and recently got a new video card and I just had to get a monitor that would take advantage of its features. G-sync works wonderfully with my RTX 3080 and the colors are nice and bright. With Windows HDR on it has a purple tint when looking at it from an angle but you can't see it at all when looking straight at it and it's not present with Windows HDR turned off. I'm still on the fence about whether Windows HDR is necessary. In most cases it's better to leave it off but this isn't the fault of this monitor. There are many topics on the internet about how bad Windows HDR is but they have been improving it and a recent update did fix a lot of issues though it's still not without. It does make videos look nice but has issues with some games. 1440P is a great resolution and offers a lot more screen real estate than what 1080P does and is great for games. I'm not seeing any backlight bleed or dead pixels. There is no tearing or weird flashing in games and I can run every game I play on maximum settings and get great FPS with surprisingly very little to no FPS difference between 1080P and 1440P. I had reservations about getting this monitor because of some of the negative reviews but for the great price so far for me it has been an excellent upgrade. I have also found the OnScreen Control app to be very handy but make sure to turn off Windows Snap or it may cause conflicts. I'm glad it doesn't have useless RGB lighting on the back that no one can see unless it's night time and you turn off all of the lights in your room either. I have never understood why that feature is on some monitors. Pro tip: Turn off Automatic Standby if you use Windows Power and Sleep settings to control your monitor's Sleep time. Of course if any issues come up I will update this review but for now I highly recommend this monitor.

Whilst not the most accurate colour, for the price, these are great panels for additional monitors. I have 1 either side of my main graphics monitor.

Pasé de un Samsung 4K con panel TN a este modelo de LG y el salto es descomunal. Juego bastantes FPS y evidentemente ayuda muchísimo, pero no sólo por los FPS o el Refressh Rate, la imagen en sí mejora muchísimo. Incluso si juegas cosas como GTA V o Just Cause o cualquier juego que no necesite el refresh alto como los FPS, la imagen se vuelve más definida y es un gusto jugarlo. Me dedico a hacer contenidos multimedia y lo primero que noté con el panel IPS es que el texto es muuuuuucho más nítido. La claridad y definición de las caracteres no se compara con el del panel TN. Hablando de la edición de video y motion graphics, el color cambió muchísimo; si has investigado un poco, sabrás que los IPS son recomendados para diseñadores y editores y vaya que cambia. Si sólo vas a jugar y te importa la rapidez de respuesta en FPSs y no tanto los colores (sólo lo usas para jugar y ver alguna serie o videos de YouTube), uno con Panel TN puede ser una buena idea para ti, además de ser muuuuucho más barato con 144 Htz y 1ms. Si lo usarás para trabajar en creación de medios audiovisuales, es perfecto, pero creo que está sobrado si SOLO lo usarás para eso. Hay monitores de panel IPS a 60 htz que te quedarán de lujo y a menor precio. Este monitor está dirigido para los entusiastas del gaming y que, además, quieren colores fidedignos y pretendan sacarle provecho a los 144 htz (o 120 o 100), o sea, que su hardware pueda sacarle jugo a eso (el Nintendo Switch no tiene contenido a ese refresh rate ni es compatible con Adaptive Sync, por ejemplo). El modelo que adquirí fue el 27GL83A que no cuenta con hub USB, pero lo hice así para ahorrar 3,000 MXN y porque realmente no necesito ese hub. No podré actualizar el firmware por esa razón, pero tampoco es necesario; no es como que tu monitor cambie el refresh rate o funcionalidades óptimas por ello. Conclusión: Si juegas FPSs, brincar a los 144hz cambiará tu vida. Si trabajas en medios audiovisuales y tienes un TN, también cambiará tu vida (aunque podrías conseguir uno con panel VA a buen precio y buenos resultados... no los mejores colores pero mejor que el TN).

This monitor is amazing, its a 27 inch, IPS 1440p,144hz, 99%sRGB, 1ms response time, freesync and nvidia g-sync, it even has HDR!!!! The Hdr works relatively well, keep in mind, it isn’t listed anywhere in product description so its a really nice bonus. The monitor has many modes which vary based on how your eyes feel and what the device you’re playing on is capable of. For example, it can mimic HDR if your device can’t broadcast it. And so on. Anyways, i highly recommend this monitor for gaming, i’ve been using it for 2 months now and i haven’t encountered any issues with it, really great product.

La construcción del monitor es en un plástico en su mayoría opaco y rugoso, pero de calidad. Cuenta con marcos superior y laterales notorios (5 mm aprox) para un monitor gamer en 2023 pero en mi caso no me molesta. El panel ha respondido de forma excelente, mostrando colores buenos para mi gusto. Efectivamente es de 144hz y funciona correctamente con NVIDIA G-sync. Como casi cualquier panel IPS tiene fuga de luz pero solo se nota cuando la pantalla se ve en negro completamente, en un uso normal de juego no se llega a percibir. Lo uso en un espacio muy iluminado y aun así no he tenido problemas con su brilla, su brillo es excelente. Cuenta con un botón/joystick en la parte de abajo que sirve para contral su interfaz de ajustes. La interfaz se ve moderna y funciona perfectamente, permitiendo una gran variedad de configuraciones. Yo lo monté a un soporte VESA de 10x10 sin ningún problema y precisamente por eso no probé el soporte que tiene incluido, pero este se ve de calidad y suficientemente robusto.

I've put about 2000 hours onto the monitor so far and it has been going great for me since then. I think I got really lucky with mine as it had no backlight bleed and very uniform blacks. The contrast isn't the greatest but that is to be expected with an IPS display, as you are wanting colour accuracy, not deeper blacks. The refresh rate is amazing and playing at 144hz with G-Sync on makes for a wonderful experience. The response time has been tested on YouTube and isn't exactly 1ms or as fast as a TN panel but it is still really quick compared to most other TN panels out there today. Overall, I find this to be an excellent monitor and would highly recommend it.
