LG 27GP850 Monitor Settings Guide - Gaming, Work and Multimedia

After spending many months with this monitor (and some with Samsungs G7) gaming, video editing and general use, I have come to some simple conclusions for the settings to use to get the best performance.
The questions this video is looking to answer are:
What settings to use for gaming on monitors?
What settings to use for video and photo editing on gaming monitors?
What settings to use for office work on gaming monitors?
This is a double take on the LG with feedback from Yoomyr, presented by Consumersam.

Hello, Thank you for your great video! It was a big help for me! I just have two questions, I use this monitor just for gaming like warzone. 1.) I have an AMD Graphik card (AMD RX 7900 GRE), should I activate MBR or Adaptive sync in basic or extended? I get 120-140 Hz in warzone 2.) Should I put the smart energy saving on off or low for the best performence in game? I hope you can help!

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

Thank you! You should keep MBR and adaptive sync off for best performance. I do not believe the ECO mode has much impact on the performance, it'll probably turn of your monitor LED and make the screen dimmer. Other than that, it should not do a huge amount to performance.

Hey, I've got a question; the link you put in the description for the LG 27GP850, to amazon shows a picture that says it has 165hz refresh rate. Though in the specs it says it's 144hz. I live in Scandinavia, and it is the same as US. Other scandinavian electronic stores have the same issue. Where did you buy yours?

[@nazzle-o6q]

Are you using HDMI? It can only do 165Hz over displayport

[@knibbo]

​ @nazzleweed875 I don't currently have it but I am looking to buy it this current week. The main question was if it actually is 165Hz, and if everything needed for it is fully included. Amazon shows a picture of 165Hz but shows 144Hz in the specs.

[@-BUGZ-]

I bought mine off amazon and the listing they have for the 27gp850-b it says 165/180Hz OC in the title of the listing but in the description it says 144 or 165Hz from what I remember. But it does ship the 27gp850-b. They have the description wrong. This monitor should cost around $300-350 USD right now. When I got it in 2021 it was $599 USD.

[@Jazril]

Thanks for the motion blur reduction flickering tip. WIll try it for a few days with the motion blur off and see how i feel about it. Is this a known fact or you just assume the flickering from the motion blur reduction is bad?

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

Hi @pedro domingos, thank you for the comment. So flickering is something that everyone has different levels of sensitivity to. Some people don't even notice it, whereas others may be able to pick up straight away. If you find your eyes are feeling rather tired or it seems like the light in your room is flickering when you look away from the monitor, it is having an affect on you. I hope that helps 😀

[@konstantinosvakouftsis4086]

Great review, is the monitor good for studying also? Do your eyes hurt or something when reading static text?

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

For static reading and studying; the very low min brightness helps. On the flipside, this IPS panel isn't really the best for text sharpness - you really have to play with settings to get that right. It's just a great all rounder. but there isn't a native eye saver mode though, like samsung monitors, nor is it a Kindle :).

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

Hi Ivan. Thats a real shame but I hope one of the things in the list below help you out: 1. Turn down the brightness 2. Turn off HDR 3. Use highest available refresh rate 4. Try adjusting the colours towards the 'warm spectrum' (reduce blue, increase red) 5. Wear special blue light filter glasses 6. Don't play in a completely dark room, have a soft light behind the screen or on the wall you are facing 7. Don't sit too close to the monitor, have enough distance that you don't have to constantly move your eyes to see each corner. Also try to move your head rather than just eyes when looking in different directions. I hope these tips do help. Let me know how you get on.

Hey how are you I just had a question, I’ve been using this lg for the last week I have tried so many settings, yours a couple in the comments and some other videos and none of them have been working for me I play on the series x and mostly COD MW2 and WZ2. The picture quality just doesn’t seem to get right and constant headaches and eye strain just after a couple games on every settings I’ve tried. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you and sorry for the long comment.

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

Hi Zach, I have looked online and can see a lot of people are complaining about eye strain on the Xbox Series X. Seems like people who are using the same monitor / tv for a ps5 'non strained session', are finding the series X to cause eye strain within 30minutes. I could suggest a few things but without experiencing the issue myself, it would be difficult to root cause. 1. Turn down the brightness 2. Turn off HDR 3. Use highest available refresh rate 4. Try adjusting the colours towards the 'warm spectrum' (reduce blue, increase red) 5. Wear special blue light filter glasses 6. Don't play in a completely dark room, have a soft light behind the screen or on the wall you are facing 7. Don't sit too close to the monitor, have enough distance that you don't have to constantly move your eyes to see each corner.

What is the best setting for Nvidia sync Extend? Basic?

[@Bthemann16]

That option is for AMD Freesync. If you have G Sync you’ll want it off.

[@Case_]

@@Bthemann16 Why would you turn off adaptive sync? That is a horrible advice. Obviously you need adaptive sync enabled on the monitor, otherwise you won't get GSync working at all.

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

Hi Zayan. Have you checked your resolution and refresh rates on the OS? Make sure you are outputing at 1920 x 1080 over hdmi to get the option for 144hz or over display port to get the option of 165hz.

sir you said dont put respsonse time on fastest, does that mean were not using 1ms??

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

Thanks for the comment Jv. If you watch the detailed review by hardware unboxed, you will see the response time can be 1ms on faster response time curve in some situations. The main reason for not suggesting the fastest mode is, you see ghosting in this mode more so than the others. The response times are still very impressive around 5ms and you will not be able to tell the difference as a user.

1440p is better for frames and smoothnes with a touch of nice quality

Have you guys toggled on/off the 120hz mode? PS5 supports upto 120hz but you have to turn it on in your console settings. Other than that make sure adaptive sync / free sync is off. I hope that helps.

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

Hi Tomas, it depends a lot on your requirement. Although I enjoyed the curve on the G7, I think I prefer the flat panel. Colours and contrast are better on the G7 but in my use case, I don't usually notice it. G7 is superior in performance but LG is a great 'cheaper' alternative with plenty to offer. I prefer the LG with everything considered.
