LG 27GQ50F-B 27 Inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) Ultragear Gaming Monitor with 165Hz and 1ms Motion Blur Reduction, AMD FreeSync Premium and 3-Side Virtually Borderless Design

Support 120 on Ps5

Last December (2019) I built new computer systems for my husband and me. I had purchased two 32 QHD LG monitors for our new systems that my husband and I both love. I needed to get a second monitor for video editing tasks, but didnt need (or have room for) another one as large. So, I did a little search and came across this one. It is nearly identical to ours main monitors, except its smaller at 24 and has a standard HD picture. The refresh rate of this monitor is quite fast and well suited to video intensive tasks (video editing, motion graphics, gaming, etc.). Weve had no problems with the monitor since purchase. The color was reasonably accurate out of the box and matching it to my main monitor wasnt difficult. Were very happy with LG monitors and have no reason to look at anything else. If youre looking for a great monitor with a nice picture, good color and fast refresh rate, I see no reason to look any further, unless you want to move up to a larger size. Highly recommended. ** If you found this review helpful, please mark it as helpful to let me know and help other buyers. Thanks! **

all around just a wonderful monitor I havent had a single problem with it I could say it could use some more ports but for what Im using it for it has absolutely plenty the picture quality is wonderful it reaches the advertised 144 HZ and displays colors better than my 1080p tv, which is all I was looking for.

I purchased 2. overall, pleased. a couple weeks ago one has been giving me fits and now has stopped working. wont be detected and wont read signal. i have switched 3 HDMI chords. still reads 0Hz. can I return it and get a new one?

Its easy to use.fun to have at home

great picture quality

Nothing to complain about at all here. I would have liked a bigger screen but the next sizes up are ridiculous in price increases. Once I start a game, I tend to not notice the size anyway so... great product!

I just got it the moniter I was super exicted just to find out it can only go up to 119 hzs but I bought the 166 hzs verion??

I bought this for my guest gaming rig, which my young son also uses. It replaced a $99 24 TN Dell Black Friday Special. The 144Hz creates a very sharp and impressive motion, which is as good if not better than my personal monitor, a Pixio PX7. However, the Image Quality is far worse by comparison, with the primary issue being color banding. If youve seen multiple High Refresh Rate monitors before, youll know that the image quality is all over the place with these. TN Panels are fast and generally inexpensive for what you get, but often have image quality issues, such as banding, gamma shift, poor viewing angles, etc. IPS Panels generally fix much of the Image Quality issues, but cost more and are often worse at handling motion, due to slower pixel response. VA Panels often dont handle motion perfectly, either, but give you a much higher contrast picture. But at under $200 for 24 1080p 144hz, you cant be too picky. Even expensive monitors arent perfect, and at this price point, you really have to pick your poison. In my case, Im using it as a guest/kids monitor, but the banding really kills it, IMHO. I actually ordered a Pixio PX248 Prime to compare and potentially replace this LG. Its $10 less and has the same basic specs, but its an IPS panel. Even if its a little worse at motion, the better color, lack of banding, and better viewing angles will probably make it win in my book. Ill report back once I can compare them side by side.

Refresh rate is as advertised but the color depth is terrible. Dark areas in both videos and games look horrendous. It looks similar to a display whenever you install a video card without the drivers on Windows. Ironically, I first noticed the issue by looking at the very product images on this page for this monitor. The photo of the powered off monitor looks like someone created it with water colors using only 10 shades of black. Also looking for drivers was a small adventure. It comes with a CD that only has a manual that mostly contains safety precautions and maintenance. When you go to LGs website and enter the exact model it says this product is not found (although the search suggestions has it listed [what the heck]). I have to google search which takes me to what appears to be an Australian variant of the software and downloads page. From there I found the drivers and OSD software. The software does not seem to play nice with your monitor if you made any adjustments. It will give you random errors about not able to make any changes. Random because if you repeat the same adjustments as before they will suddenly work. I would recommend this monitor if you are strictly using this for competitive play as the Freesync feature is handy and it does go up to 144 frames if your graphics card can push it. I checked all my settings including color depth and bcp (I could not find if this monitor is 8 or 6 bcp) on my AMD control panel. I also have a 2nd monitor attached to the same graphics card that has no issues with color.
