LG UltraGear FHD 27-Inch Gaming Monitor 27GN800-B, IPS 1ms (GtG) with HDR 10 Compatibility, NVIDIA G-SYNC, and AMD FreeSync Premium, 144Hz, Black

Bought this back in August 2021. Thought it was a great monitor that worked really well! Brought it through its paces, did nursing school work with it, played Apex Legends, Ark, Halo, any other steam game youd think to play. It was good! until about a little more than a year later, and the screen started to look a little funky. I thought nothing of it, made sure that the monitor temperature was ok (I would occasionally literally put my hand on the front of the monitor to make sure there wasnt any heated places). So far there was none, but I should have known better. Come to this night, April 19th, 2023, and Im working on Clip Studio Paint art for one of my friends, and my screen starts freaking out with the big white lines that are very visible as shown in the picture. Ive turned it off and on again about 4-5 times, even unplugged the display port cord to make sure it wasnt the GPU (thankfully it wasnt, goodness), so it got me thinking. Then I noticed that the bottom right portion of the screen was starting to turn from green to black, and made the mistake of touching that part. It was literally like touching a hot part of a stove, yanking my hand away, and proceeded to turn off the monitor for good. I didnt think that the monitor would malfunction so much that it would start interfering with the pixels and melt the internal side of the monitor. If I had ignored it for much longer, it could have turned from a small bunch of dead pixels to a possible fire hazard from knowing how hot it was. So yes, I am not using this brand ever again, or at least not for a long while until I see reviews that are the most promising for the future. The most embarrassing part with this product? I have 2 other monitors that are Samsung, running 60 hz, one of them going on 12 years (24 LED Monitor S24A300B) and the other going on 8 years (Samsung S27D360H 27 Widescreen LED LCD Monitor) and they both are in prime pristine condition, not to mention they have been with me in the trenches going to college, through 3 apartments, occasionally in the back of cars, a moving truck, and back. Understatement to say those two monitors were a steal. Overall, I honestly dont know if youll get what you pay for. Definitely not in terms of monitor quality and life. Nice framerate for 144 hz, but at what cost, haha. Consumers, please be sure to do your proper research for your monitors and choose the ones with absolute solid high rate reviews. Dont only look at the top reviews, but the most recent to gauge the product and its quality. Watch videos with reviews, check what is the best for your budget. As for me, I do not think this monitor is worth it (unless for some reason its almost 50% off). Spend wisely folks!

Great screen, however, this one will not go vertical when it states it does. It also is not adjustable so if you want to raise the screen you will have to get a stand. You can only tilt it up and down slightly. Great video quality from all angles, and love the thin boards. Make sure you check the settings to make sure youre optimizing the right ones. On both the monitor and your pc.

Great monitor for gaming

I like my LG TV, so I gave this monitor a shot. Long time PC gamer and this monitor is fantastic. Shipped safely and easy to set up. Drivers are easy to install, and FPS is great with Nvidia GPU. I recommend this monitor. Cosmetically its pleasing, and the color and fps were all that I hoped for.

Great screen, but if it happens to die on you suddenly, it may be a dead power cord. The OEM cord died after 8 months for me, but there are superior replacements on Amazon.

This thing is requires a beast, but if you have the money and the horsepower to run it, it is definitely worth it. This is my first 1440p monitor, and it is great, especially for reading text. It does make games look better, but if you work from home or are a student, this is a great monitor because it has so many more pixels that you can divide the screen up without any issues. Overall, would buy again.

butttt i cant seem to get White to be brighter, compared to my HP 24 1080, the whites are much brighter and more white. Only gripe i have so far, everything else about this monitor is very impressive! Highly recommend

I found that initially it didnt look good. I tried to use windows cleartype to resolve it. That made it better but not good. I saw the monitor was not at 144htz and after changing in the advanced display settings that cleared up all the text clarity issues. Love the monitor controls they work quite well compare to many back of panel navigation. I think it has a fake thin bezel look that even dell does on their newer monitors. There is a 1/4 inch black bars around the edges. Also the vesa mounting for this monitor leaves an ugly cast metal post out the back.

I was initially unhappy with the warm colors, but it has an option to change the light temperature. I turned it to as cold as it goes and now I am happy. It is a good quality 2k, 144 hz, everything it says. Do think about the graphics card you have before looking for a 2k+ monitor though. My fps was impacted (2080 base GPU) by around 5-10 fps on games I made 60-90 on Ultra settings before. The smoothness of the refresh rate is very nice, soft surface with no glare/side angled color inverting, and plenty of settings to customize to your liking on color and lighting.

It gets the job done. Got it for my ps5 for a good deal. Not a huge fan of the tables tangs but an arm bar works great
