LG UltraGear QHD 27-Inch Gaming Monitor 27GL83A-B - IPS 1ms (GtG), with HDR 10 Compatibility, NVIDIA G-SYNC, and AMD FreeSync, 144Hz, Black

Looks amazing, best bang for your buck!! Was a huge upgrade for me from my old pass me down monitor!

The monitor is absolutely fantastic. Its for sure the best monitor Ive ever owned and will definitely be with me for a long time. THE RESOLUTION: 1440p is absolutely better than 1080p. I had my doubts about how much better it actually is. I instantly noticed a difference when I played some games on it, and even just watching videos and looking at your desktop. I even had some family members who wouldnt even know what 1440p was and they all said that there was a clear difference. THE REFRESH RATE: This wasnt my first 144hz monitor, but it is the best one. I think its the fact that its combined with all the other things this monitor does well. But lemme put it to you this way, having a higher refresh rate isnt like watching something move faster. Its like when it moves, you can see more of it, you see more detail while its moving, and you can keep track of it better. Seriously, If you are reading this and you havent had a 144hz experience yet, I HIGHLY recommend just buying a montior like this one that has 144hz capabilities. EVERYTHING ELSE: Realistically, the only other good features of this monitor is G-Sync, which is pretty good. You have the 1ms response time, which is good and bad. The 1ms response time setting increases ghosting, which this isnt an issue with just this monitor. And having a bigger screen is nice as well. Its just a fantastic monitor. My monitor before this was a Viotek one and I was very disappointed with that one because it had dead pixels. Now there are bad eggs in every batch, but viotek seemed to send me 2 different monitors that had dead pixels. One after I returned my old one, waited 3 months to get a new one, and the new one had more dead pixels than the one before. Basically what Im saying is, even though this monitor would be about $50-$100 more expensive than something from a cheaper brand, its quality control and customer service promises that make it more expensive. And thats worth it more than the features that this monitor has. Ive had several LG monitors in the past and Ive had no issues with any of them. The only negative is that the stand is not very good. I mean, its a basic stock stand... Thats about it. Its too big, and generally looks ugly. I just dont like it that much, and I feel like it takes up too much room on my desk.

Absolutely LOVE this monitor. Had now for 2 years and can’t say enough about it.

UPDATE: With calibration/tuning/adjustments these monitors are decent. I went through Windows color, brightness, and contrast settings a few times and monitor settings to get them usable. I generally use the P series Dell monitors. I replaced 2 Dell P2419H monitors (handing down to kids) which Ive purchased literally over 1000 of (P2417H, P2419H, P2422H) and are great monitors. Unfortunately the P2722H still has 1080P resolution and loses sharpness at 27. I have 2 P2722Hs on the floor and test one right beside the LG27GL83A-B and out of the box no adjustments the Dell monitor has better black and color levels. Side by side the Dell monitor was pixely since its 1080P rather than 1440P like the LG. My initial review out of the box was pure disappointment and I intended to return these. Adjustments changed my mind. Before adjustments the black levels were brownish grey off axis (while sitting and looking at the bottom left corner my background and Start menu/taskbar where brownish grey. If I moved directly in front of the area the black areas were black, no hint of grey or brown. The Dell monitors do not have this issue. Maybe its just the ones that were on sale?.. I dont know. Im keeping the boxes for the return period, jury is still out while I use them over the next 30-45 days. They are larger, sharper, and have higher refresh rate and that was my point.

Ive had one just like it for a few years and I love it its perfect really good for the price and comes with a lot of extra stuff too. Mainly settings Thats what makes us worth a wild and the backward compatibility.

Old monitor sat to low on table ended up falling while using styrofoam blocks... and it had this on/off button you had to hold for 5 sec to turn it off. Ive got 2 other LG monitors this one included has the on/off button in the same place and you just push in - select power off - very nice and easy. This telescopic stem is just the answer for up/down and tilt... and dont forget that universal on/off button. Very happy with this good buy worth the money so far.

No problems / No flickering. I purchased two of these monitors. Both work great. To those complaining about the advertised refresh rate, make sure your Pc/Xbox/PlayStation/ display supports it. Works good on my pc.

Ive been looking for a good gaming monitor for a long time. I wanted something with 144 HZ, Nvidia GSync, HDR, and a 27 Display. This was the best one I could that met my budget, and I was not disappointed. The monitor has beautiful colors, extremely low input delay, and has been extremely reliable for me for many months now. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone looking for a good gaming monitor for a price that cant be beat.

Absolutely LOVE this monitor. Had now for 2 years and can’t say enough about it.

Excellent 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.
