LG 27GP850-B Ultragear 27 Inch Gaming Monitor Review

[@Inferasiu]

@@TypeCTechReviews can u plug a gaming pc and Xbox into the monitor the same time?

[@not_zender8809]

​@@mdll1919 yes it does

[@TheLadedaman]

It's a top notch monitor, given the picture quality, response time, and refreshrate. I would argue it's the best all around 1440p gaming monitor in any price range, super happy with my purchase.

[@TechieSunset]

I bought one of these yesterday. Should be here early next week. Also got some cheap Logitech speakers to go with it since LG monitors usually don't come with integrated speakers (not a huge deal though). I'm going to be mounting this into a nice monitor arm I got from Amazon a couple months back.

[@TheLadedaman]

@@TechieSunset Yep, I can confirm that the monitor does not in fact come with speaker which is not a problem at all given that monitor speakers are usually pretty bad. I actually just ordered myself a pair of creative pebbles. You're absolutely gonna love this monitor, well worth the money.

[@TheLadedaman]

@@abo_3a729 Absolutely, I haven't been keeping up with the market since I bought mine but I imagine it's still fantastic value. While I was in the market there were monitors that hit 240-270 fps which is better for gaming but they were also priced 200 dollars higher.

[@markus301]

[@waynestatic2778]

I bought 27gl83 at first as it seems very popular. Had terrible ips glow almost half a screen left side. Got replacement from Amazon, guess what exactly the same. So gone with refund and paid extra £80 for 27gp850 , glad I did so much better picture quality and ips glow very minimal. This seems great monitor 👌

[@RAXIIIIIIII]

Yea thats the bad thing about older ips monitors. Some have much glow some have much less. I think the gp850 is the second best option you can go for in that price range. The gigabyte m28u is a little better but thats just my opinion

[@Tomatobird8]

I just got the monitor and it... is... AMAZING. For context: The monitors I used for most of my life were TNs. I had tried a VA 1440p144 before this but I really disliked the dark smudges on anything dark that was moving around as it was very distracting. I have now replaced my BenQ XL2411P with the LG. The only thing that I think are slightly worse is the wobble of the panel as I use my keyboard. It's not distracting when gaming but while typing I can definitely tell that the panel is moving, so getting a proper mount is not a bad idea. Also the motion blur seemed slightly worse but it's really hard to tell. Overall this is a massive upgrade and I'm giving this one my recommendation. I recieved this product for only 230€ from an outlet in a national webstore. What a steal.

Can you please make S3422DWG review, I'm really interested in it, but I'm scared of ghosting/black smearing. I currently own S2719DGF(TN Panel) and would like to upgrade, possibly to ultrawide. Your LG Ultra Gear is one of the options but the GP model is not yet available in my country, 34GN850 is but it is cca. 1000€. Acer Predator X34GS that is similarly priced here has better specs on paper, and design, so if I decide to spend that much money would probably go for Predator(also not many review online for it, don't know why).
