Good, but the choice for 27 inches was a mistake. It should have been purchased at least for 32 inches. Other than that, it's a perfectly fine monitor.
Amazing monitor for the money it asks for. Connected to ps5 and I really saw the light. 1440p 120hz, very comfortable with good colors out of the box, generally a very good choice. Much better than an msi I have 1080p 180hz. I highly recommend it.
My first good monitor. Im using it for 2 month for now, but with old laptop through HDMI. not DisplayPort, so 60hz only. Although, the 2k picture is amazing and colors are great.
I will write full review after trying it with good PC through DisplayPort/
For its price, it might be very good. Height adjustment is nice, the instructions are clear (be careful not to grab it from below as that's where the menu is adjusted and it shouldn't break [that's a small negative for me]). Its HDR puzzled me a bit as it was very intense as a setting, so I put that in the negatives. It has good color performance and the response is good. Unfortunately, it took me a few days to find the right configuration for me. It's worth noting that this is my first time with a gaming monitor, so someone experienced might understand if it's my issue or a manufacturing problem. Once you set it up, you're good to go. It's large, and that's a good thing. If someone is between the above 34-inch model and this one and is in doubt, they should go for the 34-inch. That's the only thing I would change; even though it's large, some might want something bigger (that's just personal preference). (In the photo, due to camera focus, it's about 0.30 gamma stronger than it normally gives. Personally, I adjusted it with the Windows tool and based on photofriday.com/info/calibrate.
In the settings, I have it set to:
Monitor settings
Game mode: mode 2
Game adjust: Adapt Sync: basic Black Stabilizer 50, Response fast,
Picture adjust: Brightness 90
Contrast: 55
Sharpness: 70
Gamma: Mode 2
Color Temp Manual W5
GPU 4070 ti display settings:
Adjust desktop color settings:
Brightness: 40-45%
Contrast: 12%
Gamma: 0.75
Digital vibrance: 60%
It's worth the money. I have reduced the brightness to 40% because it was too high at 80%. I use it for editing and my child plays games on it, and so far (I have had it for a week) everything is good. The only negative thing is that the base is bulky and it has closed off the small desk completely against the wall. I assume in the future I will get a wall mount to push it further back
Very good user-friendly menu easy assembly I have been using it for 4 months now. I have not encountered any problems. Definitely worth its money. Satisfied
First 2K monitor, I would describe it as a pure FHD. It hasn't disappointed me so far in anything. It seems like a decent choice for its price (330). I use it for 2K gaming in combination with the 6700xt and I can say that I have a pleasant experience. As a negative, I could say that I find the bezels a bit large for its manufacturing date, but we can't have everything for ourselves. . . I provide a comparison with a 27-inch Dell monitor.
Amazing monitor for PS5 that I have connected. Easy assembly, amazing picture with 120Hz refresh rate. No light bleed, ghosting, or reflections observed. I was torn between this and the M27Q but it was on a tempting offer for 260 euros and also because of the uncertainty of getting the (rev.1) or (rev.2) of the M27Q. I didn't want the (rev.2) but no representative could guarantee which version would be received since the code was the same. Regardless, I am very satisfied with this specific LG monitor and I don't think there would be any difference. And it's a 2023 model! Go ahead and confidently make the purchase, and if you find it at this price, it's the ultimate value for money!
Update 15/2/2024. The screen is so good that I get absorbed in the games and admire the details! Marvel's Spiderman on PS5, at 120fps and in 2k resolution, which is also the optimal setting on this monitor, I have no words! Fortnite as well, the colors and motion are unreal! Also, any PS5 game is mind-blowing. I compare them to a 24" Phillips TV that I had with the PS5 before (1080p), as well as an LG 65" Qled with 2.1 HDMI, which is also 4k and 120fps, and I have it in the living room. This monitor cannot be described, gentlemen. It is significantly better in motion, detail, and colors compared to the 65" even though the 65" uses 2.1 HDMI because it has the capability. Okay, I'm not the super gamer who will notice numbers and details that are not visible to the naked eye, exaggerations basically. But I believe that with this price, there is no competition! Now, if you get a monitor with Oled, 120++ fps, and 4k for double the price, it will definitely be better. Of course, then you will want a PC with a super-duper graphics card and not a PS5! But with 270 euros, I don't think you will be dissatisfied.
So many years using a 60hz 1080p monitor and when I switched to this monitor, I truly found my light. I didn't expect such a change in my eyes and overall screen image.
Incredible monitor, incredible quality, worth every penny with its 165hz.
The menu of the monitor is unbelievable with many options. It has profiles that you can change according to the occasion, you can set a profile for every task you do, a different profile for games, another profile for everyday use, etc. You can customize it as you wish. Additionally, you can manage the monitor's menu with a program on your computer, which is great so you don't have to constantly use the analog button on the monitor.
It bothered me in the first few days. On the first day, it bothered my eyes so much that I had to get up. On the second day, fortunately, I didn't have any issues during work in a bright room, even though I had white screens (Word, etc.). In the evenings, it still tires me a little more when I have the lights off. I have slightly reduced the brightness and blue color, and now I'm quite comfortable. Maybe it's because of the transition from a 24'' Full HD to a 27'' 2K, so it might not be the fault of the monitor, and someone accustomed to the size/resolution might not have any issues.
In terms of resolution and response, it is excellent.
I don't consider the IPS glow to be at a bad level (compared to the photo with the AOC 24G2U on the left).
The stand is very large, I had seen it in the specifications and in a store where I happened to see the display model earlier, so I knew what I was buying. However, other LG monitors with the same design do not have such a "tail" from what I have seen. Calculate at least 25 centimeters of space behind where you want the screen to be. I have 5cm of the stand in the air behind the desk and it doesn't lose stability, though.
I returned it, not a good experience at all. The monitor is fast, has nice colors but it is very tiring for the eyes as it has a white veil that creates something like a sunlight effect. It is somewhat reduced if you lower the black stabilizer, but it is still quite noticeable.
Perfect image with very nice colors, I use it mostly for gaming and the graphics are amazing. It has a very easy menu to adjust it. I would buy it again!
It is the second screen of the Ultragear series that I buy, mainly for Gaming because I bought it for my vacation home. At first glance, it gives exactly what the 4K model I have from 2020 does. On the other hand, it is an amazing monitor that is perfect for high-value PCs and consoles. I tried it with PS5 and SWITCH. I don't know, but the image seemed clearer to me with less bleeding at the edges than the 2020 model. Overall, my experience with HDR on this one doesn't leave me satisfied, my PC games keep crashing all the time..... (maybe it's my fault too) and I don't recommend it for that, in short, skip it. One quite positive thing is that this one goes up and down and also tilts! The cooling is passive, meaning it doesn't have a fan, so we don't have any noise like the 2020 model, and the LED lighting is gone. It gave me quite good performance in both bright and dark images, so I have no problem with that either. Finally, the sound remains at the same levels, meaning it's decent but you'll need external speakers. The menu hasn't changed, but it seems to lag quite a bit... But I don't use it much, to be honest. Also, at the bottom, you'll see a protrusion with the logo that may bother you because it's not full body glass. On the Start Up and in general, the concept shows the Ultragear logo, so the LG logo is not visible in general.
In summary, the price is fine, although I bought it with a coupon for 289. I honestly recommend it for all medium and above builds. The image is very clear and it continues to perform well for my tasks (programming) and gaming. I don't think you need to go for 4K unless you want it for the extravagance. I am very satisfied once again with this series.
Connected to Playstation 5, with speakers attached to the monitor. Video/Movies/Games are flawless, I don't think there is a better screen for this price (292€). It can be easily adjusted from the menu, and you can place it in any position you want from its stand.
Well, I won't say much since more experienced people will say it, but I just want to say that the screen seems super to me. However, I want to focus on something else that seems "strange" to me. I bought it for my Xbox Series X and for a laptop that I have. What seems strange to me is that it runs in 4K on the console... I honestly don't know how that's possible. An AOC monitor that I had before only went up to 2K, I don't know what's going on with this one... I will upload a photo when I connect it to the console! I mean, the resolution doesn't stop at 2560x1440, but goes up to 3840x2160... it runs everything in 4K (at 60Hz, of course)
Quite a good screen, nice colors, HDR works fine, the menu is simple but it doesn't give me all the options to adjust it! I believe I will figure it out over time! Overall, quite satisfied! It should be noted that I use it as an external monitor for my laptop, so I use HDMI 2.1 instead of DisplayPort, which allows me to reach up to 144Hz! Personally, I have no issue with that! Keep in mind that it only comes with a DP cable! I was a bit disappointed by this because I was expecting HDMI as well. I didn't use the clip to hold the cable from the mouse, I almost didn't even notice it and almost threw it away! It's indifferent to my taste!
Anyway, let's get to the main point! For the money, it's simply a great opportunity!
Update 04/06/2024.
I bought a display port with USB-C and now I easily reach 165Hz and the screen now supports G-SYNC as well. Unfortunately, I didn't know about it to buy it directly! Now the screen gives 100% and the difference is significant!
No brainer purchase for this money. Image, technologies, it has it all. The only thing that lacks slightly is its stand. It doesn't offer all the adjustments (e.g. vertical placement), and it may not be characterized as one of the most sturdy stands in the world. However, it's not like there is any serious issue. Even if I needed another 10, I would get 10 of these. Completely satisfied!
This particular monitor is truly worth it. It is a budget gaming monitor, without extra USB ports.
The screen is IPS with very nice colors and very good viewing angles. The HDR is great. There is a little bleeding in the corners, but it is only noticeable in absolute black.
The stand is very stable and overall it has a very nice build quality for its price.
Gsync works flawlessly at 165hz, and for those who want to connect a next-gen console, for example the PS5, it works perfectly at 1440p with native resolution and 120hz support. Only VRR is not supported due to HDMI 2.0 instead of the required 2.1 for this specific feature.
