LG 68,5cm/27'' (2560x1440) UltraGear 27GN800-B 16:9 1ms 144Hz IPS 2xHDMI DisplayPort VESA QHD Black

Product Information

This review will be split up into small 1-2 paragraph sections with a TL;DR at the end of each if you are short of time. Of course, VA monitors have disadvantages of their own, including gamma and contrast shifts, as well as slower pixel response time speed, resulting in noticeable smearing in fast-paced games (at least as far as the models at this price range are concerned). At 144Hz, the Normal overdrive mode offers the best results as there’s basically no visible trailing behind fast-moving objects. On paper, the SAMSUNG Odyssey G5 is pretty similar to other 27-inch monitors on this list. You get a VA panel and a smooth refresh rate of 144Hz. The device also supports Variable Refresh Rate or VRR, which is crucial for console gaming. Add to that, as noted by RTings, the monitor offers a responsive gaming experience thanks to its low input lag.

LG has been at the forefront of the budget gaming monitor revolution with its UltraGear lineup, and the LG UltraGear 27GN800-B is shaping up to be an excellent deal too. If you’re looking for a great 1440p 144Hz gaming monitor for your console gaming needs, then the 27GN800-B should be right up your alley. Its pixel response time speed is impressive as well. There are four response time overdrive modes: Off, Normal, Fast, and Faster.Final TL;DR: This is a good monitor if you can get it on sale, a vesa mount is a good idea as the stand is very poor when it comes to adjustment. Do not expect the picture quality to be the best out of the box. Otherwise, this is a great monitor for gaming. (Basically Just a 27GL83A-B with a cheaper stand.) You get wide 178° viewing angles, as well as accurate and consistent colors, which ensures that there are no color, contrast, brightness, or gamma shifts regardless of the angle you’re looking at the screen. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). We made a small comparison table containing all of the above-mentioned LG models and the specifications they differentiate by. TL;DR: Viewing angles are normal for an IPS panel, just don't use the included stand if IPS glow bothers you. Not a good monitor for dark content due to glow. The monitor also supports high brightness and contrast and comes with VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. What’s more, the unit sports 92 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut as well. As a result, games set in dark environments like Metro: Exodus and Resident Evil will look really great on the unit. But that’s not all. With support for high-refresh-rate, you can easily play titles like Call of Duty and Ghostrunner on the monitor with ease. 3. LG UltraGear 27GN800-B

With a 1500R curved radius, the Acer Nitro ED323QU offers a completely immersive experience with its 31.5-inch display. You also get slim bezels with the device as part of Acer’s ZeroFrame design ethos. It should be noted that the monitor supports 100mm x 100mm VESA mount points. So, you can seamlessly install the monitor on a different arm, or a VESA wall mount. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. If size matters to you, the Acer Nitro ED323QU offers a 31.5-inch screen for your needs. What’s more, is that this is a curved display as well. However, you will have to contend with a VA panel here. There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used. Fast’ and ‘Faster’ are too aggressive and introduce too much inverse ghosting (pixel overshoot), so you should avoid them.

This results in vibrant and saturated colors, especially reds and greens. Some users might find this over-saturation too extreme, while others will appreciate the extra shade variety. The LG 27GN800 display has a low input lag of ~4ms, which results in imperceptible delay between your commands and the result on the screen. TL;DR: Don't use the included stand if you can, although it looks nice and is stable, you cannot adjust it in any way. A vesa stand is a requirement IMO.

NVIDIA® G-SYNC® Compatible

Just like the LG 27GN800, the LG 27GL83A has a specified 99% sRGB color gamut, yet it actually supports wide color gamut. The difference, however, is that the GL83A model uses its sRGB gamut natively and only extends to DCI-P3 when an HDR signal is detected. If you comeacross a different type of panel or your LG 27GN880-Bdoesn't correspond to our review, let us know, and we'll update the review. Note that some tests, like gray uniformity, may vary between individual units.

Desktop monitors and smart TVs experience a latency/lag in visualizing the information. The time in milliseconds that the display needs to visualize the signal input.Further, the design boasts ultra-thin bezels at the top and at the sides, while the screen has a matte anti-glare coating that prevents reflections, without making the image too grainy or fuzzy. Besides the standard picture settings (brightness, contrast, etc.), you also get access to advanced adjustment tools, such as four gamma modes, sharpness, 6-axis hue/saturation, and color temperature fine-tuning (in increments of 500K). When it comes to gaming peripherals, Alienware is known for going all-out, and the AW2723DF is no exception. It’s easily the best 27-inch QHD gaming monitor that works stupendously well with consoles. The LG 27GN800 supports AMD FreeSync Premium and it’s officially certified as NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible (by using the 456.38 or newer drivers).
