> 3 dayExcellent monitor! Just upgraded from an LG 1080p 60hz IPS panel to this one and the difference is clear. Images/text on screen is much sharper and I can tell movement with the mouse cursor on the desktop is much smoother. I set the display scale to 125%, which now matches with my older 1080p monitor at 100%, otherwise text and desktop apps are just too small for my taste. You can really get an idea of smoothness during gaming. I play games where high FPS is preferred. Currently playing Halo Infinite on older hardware (GTX 1660 ti) but enough that I get about 70-72fps on medium graphics settings. Even with that, and response time set to fast I can already tell the difference in smoothness of gameplay compared to my old monitor. And I should mention the obvious jump in visual clarity is instantly noticeable! Just be sure your graphics card AND CPU can handle 1440p and produce high framerates especially for graphically intensive games. I noticed that in-between games my web browsing has slowed substantially due to CPU bottleneck while using this monitor (again just a limitation caused by older hardware). The joystick style menu control and layout is simple and easy to operate. This monitor even comes with an HDMI cable AND a DisplayPort 1.4 cable! Got mine for $280 and at this price point you really cant go wrong with this monitor.

> 3 dayI picked this monitor up for my playstation 5. The picture quality is good and the build quality was fair for the price point.. overall I was happy with the purchase.. The monitor lasted 6 months and left me with a black screen. LG policy is for me to ship back to them for a repair, I have no option to ship back to Amazon for replacement.. either way, Im going to be out a monitor for a while.. Maybe I just had bad luck or maybe the monitor line has an issue.. I guess the reviews will decide.

Greater than one weekI have this monitor that Ive bought new, love it works great never had any issues. Bought another one (refurbished) and didnt have problems for a month until last night. MUCH troubleshooting before realizing they did not send the adapter that normally goes with this monitor. Sent one that does not provide enough amperage.

Greater than one weekAfter one week: this monitor is very good. I am using the DisplayPort and the G-Sync works automatically with my GTX 1650S. The audio out works good if you prefer to plug in there instead of the PC. One feature I thought I would probably never use but I found a good use for is this monitors ability to swivel 90 degrees on its stand - play pinball! Its perfect for that. Based upon one days usage: Its a really nice monitor in all aspects and so Im very happy with the purchase. Great color, G-Sync works, everything gets detected and optimum settings applied in Windows and Steam games. I like the stand design also - that is one area a monitor excels over a TV. I have mostly Samsung TVs but chose an LG for my new monitor partly based on a lot of specs and reviews and price/quality ratio and such. Also, I wanted to try an LG since my in-laws have an older large LG TV that is like 15 years old or something but is 120hz and it has held up to this day with a fabulous picture and quality looking case and stand. I think this LG 2783A-B monitor is going to prove the same. If you want G-Sync compatibility, 144hz and 1440p then this is one of the best options and most cost effective options at this time I think. This monitor has no speakers but it does have an audio out port. Of course this model number is an Amazon special edition. It shows up in Windows 10 settings as a 27GL850. I had been using a Samsung 22 inch 1080p TV for my monitor and it was pretty nice and had very good speakers. Well, after having my i7 PC for 3 years I decided it was time for a refresh: NVME drive, Lancool 2 Case, LED Fan kit, 650W PSU, MSI GTX 1650 Super Gaming X, Xbox Windows 10 Wireless Adapter and this LG 2783A-B monitor. As you can imagine this all really woke up that i7 and its a completely different experience now - obviously in a positive direction. More on this monitor... The 27 inch size is really nice compared with a 22 inch one. Looking at this LG 2783A-B 1440p at a distance of 1.5 to 2 feet looks the same to me as looking at my Samsung 40 inch 4K TV from 3.5 to 4 feet away. That is very good BTW. Are you used to watching 1080p and 4K LCD TVs? Then you will be very satisfied with deep blacks and vibrant colors on this and not notice any light bleed effects - it will look as good as a nice 4K TV at a bit larger size and much better than a 1080p I can tell you that. I use my PC for CAD for 3D printing, Photoshop and gaming mostly. To me this monitor is an optimum size, resolution and picture quality for those things sitting at a desk. I tried my 40 inch 4K TV for a while and it looked as good as this monitor but was just too much screen area at such a close distance. I like this 27 better. This monitor has some pretty nice metallic red accents but unfortunately they are all toward the back so you wont actually see much of them.

> 3 dayThis monitor gets the job done EXACTLY the way I need it to. I bought this monitor since I wanted to upgrade my picture quality from 1080p to 4K for a few years now and lately I have been putting my screens in grayscale to prevent myself from allocating too much time on activities that shouldnt be prioritized during certain times of the day and week; however, this monitor doesnt have a preset grayscale setting, so if you want to create one like I did then go to one of the premade settings, select Picture Adjust, and turn all of the Six Color settings to zero and hit save. I also setup another premade setting to be exactly like my custom grayscale setting but with color so I can easily and quickly switch between both modes.

> 3 dayOnce calibrated delivers an outstanding color range. Big change from 1080 TN. Suffers from some backlight bleed in the bottom left but not distracting. No swivel. I do wish the monitor could drop a little lower. Contrast isnt the best but this is to be expected with an ips panel. Not a big difference between the rest of the options at this price point. My only gripe with the monitor isnt specific to this one but most LG monitors; deep sleep. Unless you set in windows for your monitors to never sleep, the LG will go into a deep sleep feature and appear disconnected, consequently switching your main monitor and moving your desktop icons. If you have multiple monitors be sure to turn off the LG last when youre done and turn it on first when you begin again. Otherwise, love this monitor. No dealbreakers here and not upgrading for a long time

> 3 dayI have been playing games for a long time now and was ready to invest in a better monitor since I need it for school but this on checked all my boxes on what I wanted. I liked that for the price I got it at which was cheaper than MSRP even though I would buy it at MSRP any day of the week, It was treated as a higher tier product when it comes to online reviews. The box that it came in was very well built and had so much foam protecting the screen it was hard to take out. I got the 144hz IPS 27inch model and like I said above I love this screen. There hasnt been any major problems with it which when I look at the other monitors I see online Im happy. The only thing that I didnt like was that the power cable wasnt a standard power cable that most monitors use. It wasnt that I didnt mind but with my power set up the plug took up 2 slots so it made it hard to power everything else in my setup. I have seen also on many review channels that there are monitors that are cheaper and better and I dont see it. If I had to recommend a monitor it would be this one. Have the 2k resolution was nice since I got a new GPU and was able to use the power of it to play games in stunning detail compared to my old 60hz 1080p monitor.

> 3 dayI treated myself to a new computer and wanted a display to replace a really cheap small one Id been using with the old system. With a 3070 GPU, I figured Id get something to match what it could do and this 1440p monitor had some really good reviews. It was a little more than Id initially wanted to spend, but decided to go for it. Its been great. Its brightness is really high and the colors are great. Im just starting with the games I can now play, but its been rock solid there. The control is a single clickable 4-way nub/stick. I was able to figure it out mostly without looking at the manual (which Ive since read). The stand is really nice allowing for height, tilt and going into portrait mode (something I dont really do). THe bezels are very thin on the sides so you could easily have more than one of these side by side. If theres one slight nitpick, its the power cord. Its a wall wart style arranged in an awkward shape and configuration. The cord is also kind of short. As in would just barely be long enough if my power strip were on the floor right behind it. If it were off to the right side of my desk, it wouldnt reach. I see no reason they couldnt have put the voltage regulator in the body of the monitor and used a standard plug. I didnt take off a star for this as it didnt affect me in a negative fashion, but it is something to keep in mind
