does the LG 27GR75Q-B use the same panel?

Thank you very much for the video and the comparison to the AW2723DF! ❤

About 2 years ago I bought a monitor after watching one of your reviews and since then your videos have improved a lot, looking super professional. Keep up the amazing work 😄

[@zohebrehman5142]

I'd love to see you review 27GR75Q as it seems like a good 1440p 165hz monitor. It's also relatively cheaper than the competition.

I would also like to watch this review

[@lukeX2m]

having used the viewsonic xg2431 for over a year now, high refreshrate gaming is so much fun. having used higher resolution monitors every so often, i would still take more hz over pixels.

Could you review the Galax Vivance-01 1440p 165Hz? I hardly find any detailed reviews. I'm using this monitor for more than 1 year, but I don't have tools or knowledge to tune the right setting for it.

[@Dedded00000]

Do you know if this monitor has a fan or anything that is suppose to make a sound?Wondering if its a defect or not. Mine is making a weird sound which i can hear when i dont have anything on. It even makes sound when my pc is off and its in stand by mode? only turns off when i unplug the power cable.

Mir ist die Preis/Leistung am Wichtigsten.. Kannst du den Monitor im Video empfehlen oder gibts für den Preis was noch besseres? Es eilt nicht wirklich.

Nice review ,but you forgot to mention hdmi 2.1 support -bandwith in comparison with the alienware ,and if it worth it for console gaming for 1440p 120fps with vrr enabled

[@frickenwicked6235]

Can you elaborate? Does it support HDMI 2.1 for consoles?

[@KyleReich]

⁠@@frickenwicked6235according to Amazon and some other websites I’ve seen, it supports HDMI 2.1. It should support consoles. Keep in mind that the current consoles are capped at 120hz so getting 240hz is overkill (unless you have a PC you’re using as well, then get 240hz by all means, but if you’re solely using the monitor for your console, stick with a 120hz or 144hz monitor).

[@Alex42Ne]

@techless could you please give a few comparison words? Between this monitor and M27QX? cuz i found one available m27qx...

[@jragadio]

Looks like Gigabyte rereleased the M27QX. Plenty available on Amazon

[@Alex42Ne]

ive got a problem where i cant use 240hz but im using the hdmi cable that came in the boxe (8k 60hz) what can i do ?

[@vNotoriousOG]

Bro it literally comes with a Display Port cable that you use to get 240hz. Unless you are using it with console, always use Display Port cable as it supports the max refresh rate.

It’s 350 on amazon rn. Really eye-balling the Oled variant. I have the hardware to run 4k even. But shoot, for half the price I’m in between if I should go Oled which obviously looks better. Currently on 1080p 240hz. Wish I had a side by side comparison! You own both. Do you think it’s worth 400 dollars more? I play cod and rocket league. But would like to have a good monitor to show family photos etc.

for 800 its not worth I got one and returned it. Oled is still to new IPS is seasoned already. Save your money and get this or the MSI 240hz

[@nonaurbizniz7440]

Just a heads up for those wanting to take the vrr plunge. It won't work flawlessly in all games especially some older games. Mainly you get screen flashing and sometimes scanlines. It's still an emerging tech without a solid industry wide standard. Thankfully if your gpu is compatible with hdmi vrr that works much better overall than either brands vrr tech.

what will this affect the most, pc or ps5 gaming? planning to get rtx4080

I wanted a 27GR75QB screen, but it does not support VRR. Is it worth paying the difference of $200 for the ps5?

[@nonaurbizniz7440]

@@mohaamed2849 VRR is a game changer for both pc and consoles as it perfectly smooths out the motion by matching the panel to the gpu output so it eliminates stuttering and judder in motion. Works best if you can maintain fps above 60~70 for best results.

I purchased this product LG 27GR83Q-B. When I connected it via DP, there were horizontal lines appearing and disappearing in random areas on the screen, so I returned it. Has anyone encountered this problem?

I saw someone had this problem and fixed it with nvidia control panel. You have to get it to 10 bit to fix the horizontal lines problem

[@O.Shawabkeh]

Had you been nearby I'd lend you my new LG 27GR75Q. Elegant, quality design (getting rid of LED bar is most welcome). Early impression it's a beautiful sRGB display (1440p/165hz), sharp enough for text (but worse than Dell UD27HM13). Default colors are fine without tuning. Running contrast/brightness around 50. I'm so glad I didn't go with the Oled.

[@O.Shawabkeh]

@@saminder_singh both LGs seems 8-bit color, which I prefer and gives more natural color. The GB 27Q seems a wide-gamut, which renders a bit more saturated colors. My personal opinion regard the 27GR75Q is it's a good buy. Zero regrets from my side as a casual gamer and reader. Although for reading it's decent enough. But there's noticeable IPS glow in total black, in case that's a top priority for you (but in games blacks are fine enough for me). The whites are white enough, overall the colors are beautiful and natural to my liking. Hope you make the right choice and become happy with your purchase.

When comparing against the 27GP850 (retail 499$ as well) - you'll get almost double refresh rate but also much better contrast ratio.

[@SIGNALacquired]

Get the 27GR95QE OLED monitor for gaming and watching videos, because OLED is good for this. Get the 27GR83Q IPS monitor for other text-heavy, photos and stuff that is static for long periods of time, because less burn-in happens on IPS.
