LG 27GP850 27" Ultragear Nano IPS

Overview

The LG 27GP850 is the best in its class from the monitors I’ve tested, with the combination of great response times and a functional sRGB mode pushing it over the edge. It's generally worth the price premium and its overall balance of features with few weak areas makes it a monitor you won’t be disappointed to have.

The LG UltraGear 27GP850-B is a great gaming monitor that I recommend to anyone who likes to play on their computer. If you don’t need a premium 4K monitor and 1440p is enough for your needs, this monitor is a great choice. You’ll enjoy a high maximum refresh rate, support for both G-Sync and Freesync, as well as solid image quality. Its price is also quite reasonable for all the goodies it offers, so yes, you should definitely take the LG UltraGear 27GP850-B into account when looking for your next gaming monitor.

The LG 27GP850-B is an excellent gaming monitor. It has outstanding low input lag for a responsive gaming experience. The response time is incredibly fast, resulting in exceptionally clear motion with little blur. It supports FreeSync and G-SYNC variable refresh rate technologies (VRR) for a nearly tear-free gaming experience. It looks great in a bright room, as it has great peak brightness and good reflection handling, but it's not a good choice for gaming in the dark due to its low contrast ratio.

Thanks to its fast 1440p IPS panel, the LG 27GP850 offers both a responsive and immersive gaming experience with a high 180Hz refresh rate, quick response time, and vibrant colors. Additionally, it has an ergonomic stand, a USB hub, and plenty of extra features.
