Bought this monitor when it was on sale and it is amazing for the price by far the best in its price range
My son finally got it.
Despite the fact that the year of production is 2019, it does not lack anything.
Very fast screen refresh, excellent quality with both PC and PS5.
And you can see it while playing. This fluidity is simply delightful.
The size of 27 inches is perfect for the gamer. The monitor has built-in HDR10, but let’s be honest, it’s not true HDR.
The only small minus is the strongly extended legs of the base. On a narrower desk, it may be a problem to place the keyboard.
But for the price of 240 on Black Friday, I have no questions.
Jumping from 1080p to 1440p has been a huge difference experience and I am extremely happy with this purchase, setting up was easy and has a very easy step by step set up
Quality is by far worth the price you pay for, I would highly recommend 1440p if you want to make use of your high end hardware!
Bought this after being disappointed by a cheaper brand’s monitors – the difference is immediately noticeable.
It has 1 DisplayPort and 2 HDMI ports – connected via the DisplayPort I was getting a crisp 1440p image, 144hz refresh rate for high FPS in games where my PC could handle it, and no ghosting at all.
I immediately bought a second and have no regrets.
Used primarily to play video games and couldn’t be happier with the result.
Great image quality, can’t fault it.
This monitor out of the box is great and works perfectly on the PC.
However, if you are like me and you planned to use it for Xbox series s/x and we’re disappointed to find 1440p with 120 Hz didn’t work out of the box, then I have a simple fix for you.
Simply turn off g sync in the actual monitors settings, and it will work.
Why? That’s because this monitor can only utilise the high refresh rate using a display port and not hdmi as it uses a marginally older version(this is normal on most monitors, less so on actual TVs.)
The 1ms, 144Hz, 2560x1440p specifications are a deadly combination I’ve used fast 4K monitors in the past, and this is just as good image quality wise – but so much smoother. The implementation of G Sync is amazing for those with supported Nvidia hardware and a fast paced game to play. Smooth, vibrant games with no tearing or ghosting.
The stand is heavy, robust – and so is the screen. The stand is tall, with a good height adjustments. also rotates to portrait 1140×2560
OSD is perfect to navigate and responsive. HDR is pretty neat, above average in my opinion.
Everything just worked as intended out of the box. The only “setup” I had to do was turning on HDR in Windows 11.
HDMI cable included, Display Port Cable included. Power brick and cable included.
I hope this screen lasts forever. It’s bright, 27″, fast and made well.
Disclaimer: I have had an acer predator gn246hl, for about 5years, it never had good colour to begin with, though i tried my best with nvidia control panel and monitor display tweaks. So holy crap i am blown away by the colours on this panel. Really nice bright screen and plenty of options to tailor the colour how you want it. Gaming feels smooth and it is definitely far quicker than the acer panel. even though the acer was 144hz, the response time on the lg is better. I have a second 10 yr old ips panel and this ips panel has better colours.
This is a very early review, as only had it a couple of nights, but i can highly recommend this monitor. You’ll know if it is still good if this review doesnt get edited 🙂
Great monitor, even tried to wear it over ear but felt very top heavy to whatever side I decided to wear it on each day. Would suggest a pair for one over each ear would be more comfortable.
‘Form factor: Over ear’ good grief lol!
I’m liking this monitor – Not top of the range, but adequate for a gaming monitor. I ran a dead pixel test and there are no dead pixels that I can see. The monitor is very bright and HDR compatible. Gaming has become more fin since purchasing and using this monitor.
For the price, brilliant. Was playing on 43 inch TV prior and what a difference!
I play fps games and it has transformed my play. Movement, aiming, shooting feels so much better. Don’t feel any lag whatsoever. Enemies much easier to spot.
Wish I got one years ago.
Very happy custome
Beautiful Monitor! The difference in 60fps to 120 is incredible, for this monitor in particular the menu system is really simple. Setting up the monitor is very simple and the ability to adjust it for all angles is really useful! 100% recommend.
Ive been searching for a gaming monitor a while now and my decision to buys this specific monitor was right. It has nice and stylish design, monitor can rotated to the left if needed. I’ve been gamin battle royale games with high quality and still get the 144hz frames per second. The smoothest gaming experience I’ve had so far. I would definitely recommend it to friends or family
Got this for 250 and it was a steal. One of the cheapest G-Sync compatible monitors you will come across.
I use it for travel as I’m alway away. Got sick of gaming on a 17inch screen.
I’m used to 1440p so upscaling the render is needed in some games to make it look better. 1080p is dead to me.
Plenty bright and HDR is a nice addition if not full HDR.
its a stunning monitor, if you can find it sub 400, get it! i’m not going to go into detail about the picture quality because i’m not an expert and there are plenty of websites that go indepth on it. what i can say is it’s excellent, if you jump from TN/VA panel to IPS, you will instantly notice the difference in colours, they are popping and accurate, you wont ever want to go back. 1440p looking crisp on a 27 inch and 144hz makes everything extremely smooth and tear free, it’s ideal for any user; gamer, content creator, watching videos, etc. ips has been a concern for competitive gaming but the technology has improved so much recently, response times and input lag are on par with most TN panels.
however there are some minor niggles. its not an issue if you vesa mount but the stand does not support swivel, it can rotate, height and tilt adjust, just doesn’t turn left or right. another issue, slightly bothersome is it only has one button, making the operation not as seamless. for instance, on some monitors, they have multiple shortcut buttons that let you customize their actions such as input switch, brightness/contrast adjust, etc. with just one push. and lastly, ips glow is to be expected. my monitor has some on the bottom left but its not a big issue and can be ignored in an amply lit room.
despite the problems mentioned, its still a 5 star monitor. the pros heavily outweigh the cons. the price is decent, sometimes i’ve seen these go for 350. i can see myself staying with this monitor for a very long time.
Was in-need of a dire upgrade from my 60hz monitor I was using. Did my research on this product, raving reviews sold me. The monitor is amazing quality for what you pay. Has definitely improved my gaming experience. Rich colours, brilliant brightness range, sharp image. Handy height adjustment, tilt and pivot features too. I absolutely recommend this!
On the plus side, everything else about the monitor is superb, especially for an IPS panel. There is little motion blur, very good input lag, very nice colour gamut, and the contrast ratio, while lacking, is still better than a TN panel. Plus maximum brightness is good enough for any situation. Also, the increase in resolution is great + the screen size gives me a lot more screen real estate. If you get a good unit, keep it. It is worth the money and is significantly better than the competition. However, my unit has too much IPS glow for me to live with.
This is easy enough to set up and use, although it did take me a while to find the settings switch underneath the monitor – it’s a little toggle in the centre. Plenty of options in terms of brightness and eyefriendly blue filters. Great as you can adjust the height as well.
I am honestly taken aback by the LG Ultragear 27GL83A-B 27 Inch Gaming Monitor.
Previously I had a 1080p 60Hz LED TN Samsung panel and was looking to step into 1440p before I buy a new pc in the coming months. As I work in data analytics, I decided that colour accuracy is incredibly important for my next monitor, as well as needing extra resolution and a higher frequency for gaming. Well. Let me tell you. The Nano IPS screen works wonders. For the price, the colour range is absolutely beautiful and accurate as well. The performance of the monitor for the price is excellent as well. I’ve had no issues with stuttering, blur or ghosting. I haven’t noticed any input lag as well!
The only negative I can think of is the contrast, particularly in low light settings. Blacks can appear slightly lighter than black, but this can be mitigated by optimising the monitors settings.
Overall, for the price. You can’t go wrong with the 27GL83A-B. Accurate, strong performance and decent build quality. What more could you want in this price range?
By far THE best monitor I’ve ever used or seen. It’s just perfect. Amazing in everyway. I cannot express how happy I am with this.
It’s like when I bought a Nvidia Shield TV I felt like I needed it all my life and mad at myself for not getting one the first time I had the chance.
If I had to pick anything wasn’t as happy about is HDR400 really isn’t HDR. But it does work great. Really unless your nit brightness is 1000 HDR will always suffer a bit. But it’s implementation is very good. The new DOOM I’m playing 1440p 144hz. Locked and in HDR and wow is it good.
My son who plays Fortnite (don’t they all) well as he said all day when he tried he was “popping off” the Fps, smoothness and 1ms response time just elevated his gameplay ability X10. Seriously though it really does in CSGO anything that requires fast movement it’s a gamechanger. From 60fps. If you have the money and get the chance buy it.
There is no backlight bleed I can see, only IPS glow in the corners in dark scenes but if you view from slightly further away that disappears. The stand is slightly larger than I expected but the height and tilt adjustment is very handy for minimising the glow.
The screen seems slightly more reflective than my previous one – I notice the reflections more in my lit room in dark scenes, but maybe it’s just because it now takes up so much more of my vision.
Overall a good purchase. I might be disappointed by the blacks if I paid over 450, though I knew from the beginning I was going to value response time over contrast which made this monitor an obvious choice. It’s a beautiful image with any lit content.
This monitor is exceptional.
Design looks good. sturdy, doesn’t seem like it will break or fall apart.
No dead pixels or any other problems out of the box and none after 3-4 months use.
Settings up and installations straight forward.
Also i don’t have any use in twisting it sideways but cool feature and tilting is good.
Colors looks quiet accurate.
G-Sync works perfect.
1ms response works.
144HZ works , everything looks good!
Happy with this monitor. Very good quality for price point. Didn’t buy for gaming, but watching movies, series etc. Plug and paly with HDMI, and helpful with height and angle flexibility. Would definitely recommend.
On my opinion this is one of the best monitors for gaming on low budget.
Quality of the product is amazing
Picture is amazing
I’ll highly recommend this product
The only con I have is that the stand isn’t rigid enough so if you shake the table a little ur gonna feel it on the monitor. And you can’t tilt it enough… but overall great produc
The monitor comes pre-calibrated by the factory with a calibration report in the box, and with a slight tweak to the brightness (from 50 to 15) you can achieve a great colour temperature and fantastic accuracy. Additionally, the monitor comes with multiple overdrive modes to enhance pixel responsiveness, choose Fast, not Fastest, as the Fastest setting introduces horrific inverse ghosting and overshoot. The fast setting performs the best with fast transitions and very little blur or trailing.
Finally before wrapping up with pros and cons, you can see from my photo that I have it VESA mounted and I had no problems doing so on my Amazon Basics Dual monitor arm.
Pros
+ Fast response times with almost all pixel transitions within the 6.94ms window of 144hz.
+ 144hz IPS monitor 27″
+ VESA mountable (100×100)
+ Thin 1cm bezel on sides and top, slightly thicker on the bottom
+ Freesync monitor that is also Gsync compatible (works with AMD and Nvidia graphics cards)
+ Price (I paid 330 – which is stunning for an IPS 1440p 144hz monitor)
+ Colour accuracy
+ Great viewing angles
+ Excellent grey uniformity
+ Excellent gradient handling, no banding issues
+ Joystick style button to control the OSD is fantastically easy to use and navigate
Cons
– Claims to be HDR but peak brightness and lack of local dimming means its not really HDR
– Contrast ratio is 894:1 (Like other IPS it suffers in very dark scenes in a dark room but its not very noticeable and can be aided by using bias lighting behind the monitor)
– Lack of availability?
Other facts
* Thickness with stand is 16cm, without the stand it is only 5.6cm.
* Comes with 1 display port and two HDMI connections which are very accessible
* Bezels are thin at 1cm around three edges, slightly thicker on bottom bezel.
* Weight with stand is about 6kg and without stand its 4kg
* 27″ panel, 2560x1440p resolution, 144hz refresh rate
* Freesync and Gsync compatible
* HDMI only reaches 120hz
* Comes with power adapter brick and both HDMI and DisplayPort cables.
For the price this was the cheapest IPS 144hz monitor out on the market; however, it performs really well. The colors are vivid and ciewing angles are amazing. The only downside is 1080p resolution on 27″ display, since you need to sit a little further in order not to notice the pixels. Also there is a little IPS glow, but nothing horrible. I would say it is the best 144Hz IPS gaming budget monitor.
LG Ultragear 27GL63T 27-Inch FHD IPS 1MS HDR Nvidia G-Sync Compatible Monitor
Great service, Great price in sale 220:00 – Monitor arrived next working day…..
Upgrade from 22″ 10 yr old Samsung monitor to this LG 27″ ips 144hz, What a difference in quality.
Great monitor using as a normal computer monitor colours and image very good..
Bought as a gaming monitor to suit new gaming system, but to date not had much chance of playing many games.
Games played to date Apex Legends with no issues, graphics G sync worked well, no problems…
Very happy with monitor and service… Thanks…
Great monitor, just got it recently and it looks superb, image quality is very nice, blacks aren’t that well shown but it’s not a huge issue. One thing to note though, this is a FREESYNC monitor, not a GSYNC monitor originally, so the GSYNC features are unavailable on Nvidia cards unless they are the 10-20 series. Thankfully I have a GPU coming that supports Gsync, however my 970 couldn’t use the monitors features fully.
Arrived well packaged with zero defects – no dead pixels and acceptable IPS glow. The stand is quite basic and it would be nice if it sunk a little lower and had the ability to rotate but it is atleast sturdy and has non-offensive styling (I.e gamer trash). The ports on the back are easy to see and access unlike every other monitor i’ve owned. It’s recognised immediately by Nvidia drivers as a G-sync compatible monitor and prompts you to turn it on via the nvidia settings.
From someone who has upgraded from 1080p 144hz, the picture quality is fantastic. Images are so much sharper however i’m not 100% sure of the colours and it may benefit from recalibration.
The OSD is probably the best I’ve used. Easily navigated using the directional toggle and the actual interface is easy to read and doesn’t look like it was designed in 2002.
I bought this to replace a defective TUF Gaming AG27AQ which arrived with two burnt/dead pixels, one in the centre of the screen. Despite the TUFs “ELMB” tech, I would say that the LG has more acceptable motion blur that the TUF in the few games I’ve played to date. The two monitors are highly comparable…except when it comes to the price. LG – 320….TUF Gaming – 485. Not only that but the LG has its own unique panel actually designed by LG as opposed to the AU Optronics (who seem to have quite glaring quality control issues) used by ASUS and other brands.
If you can get your hands on one, do it!
Mounting the stand to the back of the monitor required no screws, just snaps in to place with an inbuilt locking mechanism. Although I think some would prefer to have some screws to secure it. The base for the stand for the base has an inbuilt screw with a little tab that you can turn to tighten or loosen the screw, so essentially it is toolless.
Now the picture quality is superb, although it is a little bit too bright and saturated, nothing like a bit of tweaking here and there cant solve. But make sure you’re in either Game mode 1 or 2 to make your own customisations like Black level, colour, etc
Accessing and navigating the display menu was easy and smooth, as you have a little joystick under the LG logo on the front of the display. There is not much in a way of customisability to the display but it is good enough.
The only disappointments I have with the display is that I have no idea why LG thought to put HDR 10, or even why HDR 10 exists for the matter. As it looks horrible to me. I would rather have a different feature that would be useful.
If you plan on overclocking this, you’re wasting your time. Even though I was able to get this display upto 240hz just for fun and it still looked pretty good, the display started to complain even at 165hz showing an out of range message that would come and go.
You can not have MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) on if you intend to use G-sync, but I guess that because it is a limitation to how MBR works. But that does not bother me that much.
But with all that said, it is a really nice monitor and probably the best one I have had so far on a budget.
