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

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.

1ms response time, 144hz, TN panel. If you play competitive shooters and dont want to spend a lot, this is for you DOESNT COME WITH DP CABLE

November 8, 2020 Update: So I bought another monitor to march the one I bought earlier mainly for working at home. Unlike the first time I purchased this, this one seemed like it was a return or refurbished item. Why? Well the packaging wasnt as neat as you can see from the pictures. Though the monitor was secure in the foam pieces, it was not fully covered by the wrapping. Also, the parts were just in the box. The CD wasnt even in a sleeve! The monitor works which is a good thing but I have to wonder how long it will work if this wasnt really new. --- I just started gaming a bit and wanted to use my monitor also for my ps4 so everything was together. The monitor itself is great. I dont have any issues with my game play or color being messed up or dead pixels as of yet. The only gripes I have is that it doesnt automatically detected the video source so I have to constantly switch back and forth between HDMI1 and HDMI2. A hassle but not a deal breaker. I also has a limited amount of plug ins (2 HDMI, 1 DVI, and an audio jack). I really wish it has a couple usb plugs but also not a deal breaker. For the price, I really am happy with monitor.

Excelente

Fast response perfect for gaming

This is so nice! My mom got it fr me for my birthday! Quality its great! A major upgrade from my old 2010 monitor!

I am an avid gamer. And using this monitor for the first time was just a wonderful experience. The joystick OSD feature is something I will never forget at this price-point. It really does make it so much easier to change settings. Speaking of settings, you get a wide variety of settings with this monitor, from Response time, Freesync toggles, and MBR!!. The pixel response time on this monitor is too good to be true. Coming from a VA panel (AOC C24G1 144hz) This monitor beats that one in a heartbeat. Ghosting is non existent with this monitor, I havent noticed ghosting at all actually. However, Corona Artifacts AKA Overshoot is noticeable with the highest Response Time setting. But that doesnt keep this monitor from being one of my favorites. If you are wondering why I gave this 4 stars, its mostly because of the stand. I have seen better stands, and this stock one is pretty bad for adjustability. But spend about 40dollars on a VESA mount and you are all set. Thank you LG for making a good 144hz monitor, and one much better than AOCs!!

I’ve used this monitor for over a year and a half traveling for my job with it all over the country. Mine has scratches all over the back and has been hit up against walls many times. This thing is a beast. I love it.

I put a Mac Mini on the back Vesa mount and have my Xbox in front. The screen looks great using both and I love how big the screen is without being cumbersome. The only minor issue I have is the controls. Takes a button press and a joystick push to shut the screen off. Sometimes other actions are detected instead. Very minor, especially since I set the auto-off and I can just leave it alone.

Good side monitor I guess
