I know this may not be the way to get an answer, but I really need help. I have the opportunity to buy GIGABYTE M28U and LG 27GR93U-B at almost the same price. I kindly ask you to help me buy a better monitor. I'm only interested in which one is better for gaming.
In Europe it's right around 500 euros and it's currently the cheapest 4K 144Hz option with official g-sync compatibility. My unit has great uniformity, absolutely no backlight bleed and IPS glow is only barely visible in a pitch black room, but with some bias lighting it goes away completely. G-sync works flawlessly across the entire refresh range with absolutely no stutter or flickering. It actually works better than my old native g-sync VA panel which had mild brightness flickering with g-sync enabled.
Was waiting for this one, 27GR93u seems like a great option for ps5. Full 48gbps bandwidth, and less overshoot/ghosting than other competitors like m28u, msi mag28 and better response times at 60hz especially. The msi mag281urf is one of the cheapest hdmi 2.1 monitors with full bandwidth support, but the msi has much more ghosting so i think this LG is now one of the better options for ps5/series x. Update: purcahsed this on sale for $600 CAD which was a good deal. Regular $900. Its a beautiful monitor for ps5.
Does response time still matter at 60hz? I mean all of them are below 16.6ms. So it should be 100% refresh compliance right? I think we should look at overshoot at low refresh rate.
Is there any chance you’d be able to create a monitor review schedule of some sort for your channel? So we know what monitors you guys plan on reviewing and when we could expect to see the review. Could help me and maybe others decide on whether to buy a monitor or wait until you release a review before deciding (because we obviously all respect your opinions/recommendations that much). Thanks!
Just got this in the UK for £446 off LG's website. It's listed as £470 but you get a 5% discount if you sign up to their website. The 27GP950 (well actually the 27GP95R-B but I think it's the same monitor) is currently £500 on overclockers, but this looks like a better deal. Cheers for the review Tim!
@@TomSzczepanski It's really excellent. I have to say though, the stand is a monstrosity - the feet stick out so much. I eventually managed to get rid of the issue thanks to a dual monitor arm but was seriously contemplating sawing off the ends of the feet.
One thing that wasn't mentioned in this review: How good is text on this one compared to something like the M28U? How "matte" is the coating? Is it the typical overly aggressive matte coating like on the new 27 inch OLED 240Hz from LG? How does it compare to a 27GL850-B?

honestly watching this review all I could notice was how well the cooler master gp27u held up, only weakness was out of box calibration. it also has 576 local dimming zones which overall won't give you an amazing hdr experience, but for me the best use is just for removing ips glow from the corners and increasing contrast ratio in sdr mode.
How is the monitor with the latest firmware? I've been thinking about getting it but see a lot of people complaining about firmware related issues, but also those comments are getting a bit dated. Do you think it's worth it? I have my own calibrator too so out of the box accuracy isn't an issue
I have the gp27u. Nothing but problems. Look at the amazon reviews it has a terrible rating. I have 3 dead pixels and a blotch on my screen. The matte finish really brings out the glare. Way more than my dell 27 ips does. I run 2 computers and need to switch between them by changing the source and it wont switch sometimes. White text with a black background has a halo around it. If i have a line of text its a much brighter shade in the middle.
I just grabbed an open box one for 340$ + 160$ in shipping and taxes… will keep it till 4k Oled 32’ 240hz Monitors saturate the market in the next two years and become somewhat reliable and fairly priced. Currently have an LG C1 55’ which I use as well for gaming, but it’s too big for a desk.

Could you please check out the HP Omen 27q? I've seen it recently on sale, up to $150 cheaper than its rrp despite it being a relatively new monitor (2023 monitor), and I haven't seen any reputable reviewers check it out
Recently picked this up for around 500€. But one thing I noticed was the colors in the default configuration seem kinda off. A bit too yellow/green-ish for my taste. I changed the gamma to "Mode 4" and color temp to "Manual - 0". This looks way more "correct" for my taste at least.
I have the LG 27UK650-W and I also use Mode 4 gamma, and medium color temp. I don't know if it's accurate or not but it looks better than the default setting to me.
Hey Hendrick, kannst du mir mal sagen ob es bei deinem Monitor einen Unterschie zwischen der Warmen Farbeinstellung und der Custom Einstellung gibt? Bei mir gibt es da nämlich keinen unterschied. Mein Bild ist einfach vieel zu warm und das von haus aus… Manual 0 macht zb auxh garkeinen unterschied bei mir, ich muss schon auf C1 stellen damit es kühler wird
What is going to be the best suited monitor for PS5 FPS gaming (Fortnite/COD)? LG 27GR93U, Gigabyte M27U or M28U??? All roughly the same price range in Australia.
I’ve heard that they are also bringing back the LG GP95RP-B which is the newer model on the GP950 27 inch variant any thoughts on if this model is better then the 27GR93U?
@@mojomojo2091 I got the M27U - its a good balance of price / performance. Black levels are not as good as my previous XG27UQR but the motion clarity is much better.
Great review! I'm thinking about buying this one but the two Philips 27M1F5800 and 279M1RV also look really interesting, since the contrast on this LG is a bit disappointing. Would be absolutely great if you could review these Philips monitors - thank you!
Picked this up used/refurbished for $300 on Amazon, It is a great VFM at this price. It also comes with hdmi 2.1, and I am looking to use it with my PS5 and will use it for my work as well. Thank you for your detailed review.
a 4k 24.5 inch monitor would go crazy, because you wuld have an insane clarity for media, and you could play 4k or 1080p (with integer scaling) and it would look exactly like a 1080p monitor
@@SlixbrahSomething has to be wrong with your settings or your nose is touching the monitor screen. The difference in games between 4K 27in and 1440 27in is pretty small. Improvements in a 24in monitor at 4k would be nigh imperceptible.
Nice monitor. About time this spec monitor started hitting the €500 price mark. That secondary chin is a real killer though especially for multi monitor setups. Seems completely unnecessary? Might seem nit-picky but I like a nice clean line between my 2 monitors.
i have noticed the 3 new GR series ultra gear monitors all use BOE panels instead of LG panels, should we be concerned at all? so that's the 27GR83Q-B the 27GR93U-B and the 32GR93U-B.
im planning on getting this. Monitors in my country are impossible to get beyond 1080P unless you wanna pay way overprice. I plan on downing the resolution tho. No interest in 4k for now but this gives me the flexibility to test it down the road.
I received the 27gp950 last week for only $700, the picture quality is stunning and the rsponse time is very impressive. Which one do you think has better image quality? 27gp950 or 27gr93u ?
I just bought a Dell G2724D, have been waiting ages for your review but as its only £209 on Amazon now I had to blind buy it & fingers crossed its good.
Can yuou make a video about the advertised refresh speed in ms and the real speed. How can you measure it for your own screen and why are they laying !!
tip: Either set specs you want and find one that fits OR a budget and then go for the highest specs you can find. waiting for/wishing/wanting everything perfect and at low cost is never gonna happen and you will be forever waiting/indecisive.
@@MyrKnofMe as a gamer first I care the most about response time/low overshoot first. So I personally look at the cheapest monitors then decide which one to get solely on those response times. Unless that price point isn't satisfactory, then I increase the budget. IMO cheaping out is always a bad idea. For example if I'm looking for a 1440p 144Hz, I'd pay extra 50-100 bucks for a superior product, as monitors is something people change the least often I feel
@@MyrKnof Thanks for the tip. I've been wanting to upgrade my monitor for over a year now and everytime i check stores, prices are outrageous. My biggest problem is that i have no idea about monitors nor monitor technologies. I've been using the sane monitor for years (Asus VG248 no idea if it's considered good or not, bought it based on what the product description said and i had never had problems with Asus products so went for it) and whenever i look for information i find opposite opinions about the same things (i.e. VA vs IPS)
@@GewelReal I agree, cheaping out on stuff as important as this is a bad idea, but i also think it is a bad idea to just buy something more expensive without knowing if it's gonna look better or not, which is my main concern i feel. I don't want to spend 500€ on a monitor just to have a similar experience to my current monitor, which was 250€ or so
Bought this one open box for 480 euros wasn't sure if I will keep it but might as that was a nice deal black friday 50 euros off and then 70 euros off because open box deal so 120 euros discount
Why would you buy this over the 27gp950-b though? It’s very largely the same monitor only the older model offers more hz @ 160, bigger and better rear rgb features, and most importantly it’s cheaper to buy to boot. Strange 🤔
I'm writing from this monitor, but today I'm packing it to take it back, I got for less than $500 a labor sale that lasted 3 days, first impression are good, something that reviewers don't mention is the saturated colors compare to my 27GL850 but I prefer this since it gives the punch that colors on SDR needs since switching to HDR colors loses deeps because everything is over lit so I won't get this monitor for HDR, as a SDR is fantastic, I like there is not PWM so don't worry about headaches, like I mentioned the colors are very rich and it helps on games like warzone 2 to keep trach on enemies marked on red cuz they pop on the screen more easily than my other monitor, compare to my Samsung VA mini led on HDR this LG 27GR93U gets very close on colors so I don't miss HDR you won't get the bright highlights that's all, so it's fantastic then why I'm sending it back, well the first thing I notice is I want a bigger size I had to scale windows to 200% and I usually sit further away when playing with gamepad so most of the resolution benefits gets lost, second I thought this very well, I don't want my 27GL850 anymore so I can sell it but with what I pay for this I can put a little bit more and get the LG C3 42", yes I'm not afraid of burn in, but in exchange I get the bigger size that I felt missing plus it's a damn premium TV and you can feel it, it's absurd how these monitors feel like a toy, the LG C3 can do excellent HDR it has 4 hdmi 2.1 ports and that model comes with lower input lag than C2 and better motion handling, plus it's OLED so it's gonna feel like a 180hz display. So I recommend the monitor but if you budget can go above $500 I recommend getting the OLED
Hello, thanks for the great review! I have compared this to the Samsung Odyssey G7 (G70B), would you recommend this UltraGear over the Samsung monitor? :)
My GP950 is due a replacement under warranty, they have offered me this monitor , should I take it? From what I’ve seen it is a lower class monitor but gets brighter and handles reflections better.
Any chance you can start doing reviews on non Gaming monitors for Color accuracy etc? Asus Pro art series, Ben Q PD3220U etc. it is Monitors Unboxed, not 'Gaming Monitors Unboxed'
Hi Tim, thanks for the reviews, you're good at this. I am using this monitor and in the Nvidia Control Panel settings there are options such as "Output Color Format", "Output Dynamic Range". I tried almost all of them, but I couldn't feel any visible difference. What settings would be healthier to use? I would be happy if you give advice.
I don’t have a pc connected to this monitor, just a PS5. Can I download the firmware update file on a usb and connected to the monitor and it’ll update?
Great review sir. I believe this is one of the best channels in the entire youtube spectrum when it comes to testing monitor. I am looking for a monitor 27 4k and high refresh rate mainly for office work , sharp text and occasionally gaming. Is this the best choice overall out there ? I am a bit confused because the offer on the market is consistent with several monitors. What do you suggest sir ? My main concern is the following: in a dark room, the black looks gray. I work a lot at nite in a dark room. Thank you so much ❤
I picked one of these up and I do like it, however has anyone else with one found that when enabling HDR mode in Windows the colours are actually de-saturated/lower-contrast in appearance vs SDR mode? I thought it may be a Windows/driver thing but running an AMD RX6800 with current drivers and other guys with similar setups find HDR only improves these qualities, doesn't reduce them. I've got a support case with LG ongoing.
Bro what do you think of this LG 32GQ950-B?! you have never reviewed it Also there is the LG 32GQ850-B (1440p) which i currently have, those are newer models than the GP850/950 that you have reviewed.
Just picked one of these monitors up for £390 in the UK - I have seen really mixed reviews for the monitor. For use with a PS5, was this monitor a good decision?
when will you test Samsung G6? I had it once but had to return due to dead pixel and little too dark for competitive games but many people seems to have defects with this monitor.
Have you tried including contrast enhancements and local dimming? HDR and still it's dark dark for you ? otherwise , how do you like it for shooting games ? do you feel any delays on it ?
@@yurarnd8135 input lag and motion performance it's really good and 240hz is just super nice. Idk I tried HDR but the games were just either too bright or washed out colors. I have since replaced the G6 with an LG GP850-P 180hz which is a lot nicer for competitive fps in terms of visibility.
Could you please take a look at some of Philips' 27" 1440p monitors? Im struggling to find any good info regarding to responstimes and such. The one i really want to know about is: Philips 27" 1440p 240hz - 27M1F5500P
Thanks to youre advice, i got this piece of Hardware for 460€ in Germany. It will replace my 3year old Asus TUF VG27AQ (330€ in 2021). Now my 4090 will get some work 😂
Hey tim i was shopping for a new monitor when i saw new oled monitors from asus the 32 inch 4k 240 . Should i wait or should i get something like the pg27aqdm? Thanks 🙏
Is the SRGB and contrast ratio better on the 27GP95U? Can the GP95U be calibrated like the GR93U? I'm interested in the GR93U but don't like the contrast ratio. I need an all-round monitor, not a gaming monitor, and HDR does not matter.

Hi. Your tables seemed to incorrectly show the LG as a 1440p rather than 4k monitor? eg Average grey to grey graph/table
Recently picked this up for around 500€. But one thing I noticed was the colors in the default configuration seem kinda off. A bit too yellow/green-ish for my taste. I changed the gamma to "Mode 4" and color temp to "Manual - 0". This looks way more "correct" for my taste at least.
I have the LG 27UK650-W and I also use Mode 4 gamma, and medium color temp. I don't know if it's accurate or not but it looks better than the default setting to me.
Hey Hendrick, kannst du mir mal sagen ob es bei deinem Monitor einen Unterschie zwischen der Warmen Farbeinstellung und der Custom Einstellung gibt? Bei mir gibt es da nämlich keinen unterschied.
Mein Bild ist einfach vieel zu warm und das von haus aus…
Manual 0 macht zb auxh garkeinen unterschied bei mir, ich muss schon auf C1 stellen damit es kühler wird
What is going to be the best suited monitor for PS5 FPS gaming (Fortnite/COD)?
LG 27GR93U, Gigabyte M27U or M28U??? All roughly the same price range in Australia.
Get the LG 27GR93U…
@@broadwaybull I got the m27u it’s pretty damn good, couldn’t get the LG in Australia for some reason
8:14 The chart says that the LG 27GR93U is 1440p.
I’ve heard that they are also bringing back the LG GP95RP-B which is the newer model on the GP950 27 inch variant any thoughts on if this model is better then the 27GR93U?
It's disappointing that the contrast ratio is so low. I was expecting at least 1100:1. It's the only thing stopping me from buying it.
All IPS panels offer poor contrast, 900 Vs 1100 would hardly make a difference.
If gaming mostly at night VA or OLED are way to go
Thank you for reviewing this model! Appreciate the comparison between this model and the M27U
What monitor did you use pick and do you regret it?
@@mojomojo2091 I got the M27U - its a good balance of price / performance. Black levels are not as good as my previous XG27UQR but the motion clarity is much better.
Great review! I'm thinking about buying this one but the two Philips 27M1F5800 and 279M1RV also look really interesting, since the contrast on this LG is a bit disappointing.
Would be absolutely great if you could review these Philips monitors - thank you!

The only one left to review is the 27GR83Q
Will you also please do a review of the new 57 inch Samsung G9 Neo? I'm dying to see your full take on it
57 inch your neck 💀
@@Neucher depends on how deep your desk is. My desk is 1 meter deep and I already have a 49 inch where I can more than easily see everything
Picked this up used/refurbished for $300 on Amazon, It is a great VFM at this price. It also comes with hdmi 2.1, and I am looking to use it with my PS5 and will use it for my work as well. Thank you for your detailed review.
how is it?
@@FanVold Working like a charm!
@@kishorekumar6345but it doesn't have HDR right?
@@FanVold Mine has HDR.
@@kishorekumar6345 it's good? you use it?
6:16 it says 1440p, which is obviously a typo?
a 4k 24.5 inch monitor would go crazy, because you wuld have an insane clarity for media, and you could play 4k or 1080p (with integer scaling) and it would look exactly like a 1080p monitor
Plus the PPI would be crazy
You can do all that on a 27 inch 4K monitor and games at 1080p don’t look bad at all.
@@saturnotaku 1080p at 27" is eye cancer
@@saturnotaku i have a 28 inch 4k, it still looks blocky, and looks bad in games with TAA forced
@@SlixbrahSomething has to be wrong with your settings or your nose is touching the monitor screen. The difference in games between 4K 27in and 1440 27in is pretty small. Improvements in a 24in monitor at 4k would be nigh imperceptible.
Nice monitor. About time this spec monitor started hitting the €500 price mark. That secondary chin is a real killer though especially for multi monitor setups. Seems completely unnecessary? Might seem nit-picky but I like a nice clean line between my 2 monitors.
This LG 27GR93U is actually cheaper than both the Gigabyte M28U and M27U right now in the UK.
i have noticed the 3 new GR series ultra gear monitors all use BOE panels instead of LG panels, should we be concerned at all? so that's the 27GR83Q-B the 27GR93U-B and the 32GR93U-B.
im planning on getting this. Monitors in my country are impossible to get beyond 1080P unless you wanna pay way overprice. I plan on downing the resolution tho. No interest in 4k for now but this gives me the flexibility to test it down the road.
i dont understand.... all the charts are listed its 27" 1440p but the monitor itself is 4k 2160p right?
typo
I received the 27gp950 last week for only $700, the picture quality is stunning and the rsponse time is very impressive. Which one do you think has better image quality? 27gp950 or 27gr93u ?
GP950 have nano cell he is best
The PG27UQ that I got for $300 used is still a beast until today.
I just bought a Dell G2724D, have been waiting ages for your review but as its only £209 on Amazon now I had to blind buy it & fingers crossed its good.
Hi Tim, will you be reviewing the Dell G2724D? Keep up the great work!
Can you review the Alienware AW2723DF, 280hz 1440p 🙏
Can yuou make a video about the advertised refresh speed in ms and the real speed. How can you measure it for your own screen and why are they laying !!
I noticed the overdrive setting seems locked to "Fast" in sRGB mode. Is this still acceptable for good response time performance?
Hi Tim would u say this is the best 27 inch monitor to get all the features out of a ps5? That being 4K 120hz
I’m hesitating between the 27GR93U and the 27GR83Q for console games,especially fast fps games so what do u think?
I just grabbed it for 450 - seemed too good to be true at that price
Yep, see it now on Cyber Monday selling in US for $450. Looks like a nice deal.
Is it glossy? We should get warning labels if screens are matte covered
Have you found out?
Just a heads up, there are a lot of reports for the LG 27GR93U failing. I just backed out of buying one because of it.
Why is it so hard to choose a monitor FML
tip: Either set specs you want and find one that fits OR a budget and then go for the highest specs you can find.
waiting for/wishing/wanting everything perfect and at low cost is never gonna happen and you will be forever waiting/indecisive.
@@MyrKnofMe as a gamer first I care the most about response time/low overshoot first.
So I personally look at the cheapest monitors then decide which one to get solely on those response times. Unless that price point isn't satisfactory, then I increase the budget.
IMO cheaping out is always a bad idea. For example if I'm looking for a 1440p 144Hz, I'd pay extra 50-100 bucks for a superior product, as monitors is something people change the least often I feel
@@MyrKnof Thanks for the tip. I've been wanting to upgrade my monitor for over a year now and everytime i check stores, prices are outrageous.
My biggest problem is that i have no idea about monitors nor monitor technologies. I've been using the sane monitor for years (Asus VG248 no idea if it's considered good or not, bought it based on what the product description said and i had never had problems with Asus products so went for it) and whenever i look for information i find opposite opinions about the same things (i.e. VA vs IPS)
@@GewelReal I agree, cheaping out on stuff as important as this is a bad idea, but i also think it is a bad idea to just buy something more expensive without knowing if it's gonna look better or not, which is my main concern i feel. I don't want to spend 500€ on a monitor just to have a similar experience to my current monitor, which was 250€ or so
Bought this one open box for 480 euros wasn't sure if I will keep it but might as that was a nice deal black friday 50 euros off and then 70 euros off because open box deal so 120 euros discount
how is it
Just got mine :) thanks for the review
Have you been happy with it? Thinking of getting one for my ps5
@@COLTtheBOLTTu got it?
Is this good for the PS5?
Why would you buy this over the 27gp950-b though? It’s very largely the same monitor only the older model offers more hz @ 160, bigger and better rear rgb features, and most importantly it’s cheaper to buy to boot.
Strange 🤔
idk man i got 27gr93u
There's a small bug at 5:06 - it says that 27GR93U is 27" 1440p while it's in fact 4k. Scratched my head for a minute.
Could you share your monitor settings after calibration?
Yes please someone post their settings....I almost cant find anything online about this monitor and recommended settings.
Think you made a minor mistake @6:27
It appears on most of the charts as a 1440p monitor, even tho It's not.
I'm writing from this monitor, but today I'm packing it to take it back, I got for less than $500 a labor sale that lasted 3 days, first impression are good, something that reviewers don't mention is the saturated colors compare to my 27GL850 but I prefer this since it gives the punch that colors on SDR needs since switching to HDR colors loses deeps because everything is over lit so I won't get this monitor for HDR, as a SDR is fantastic, I like there is not PWM so don't worry about headaches, like I mentioned the colors are very rich and it helps on games like warzone 2 to keep trach on enemies marked on red cuz they pop on the screen more easily than my other monitor, compare to my Samsung VA mini led on HDR this LG 27GR93U gets very close on colors so I don't miss HDR you won't get the bright highlights that's all, so it's fantastic then why I'm sending it back, well the first thing I notice is I want a bigger size I had to scale windows to 200% and I usually sit further away when playing with gamepad so most of the resolution benefits gets lost, second I thought this very well, I don't want my 27GL850 anymore so I can sell it but with what I pay for this I can put a little bit more and get the LG C3 42", yes I'm not afraid of burn in, but in exchange I get the bigger size that I felt missing plus it's a damn premium TV and you can feel it, it's absurd how these monitors feel like a toy, the LG C3 can do excellent HDR it has 4 hdmi 2.1 ports and that model comes with lower input lag than C2 and better motion handling, plus it's OLED so it's gonna feel like a 180hz display. So I recommend the monitor but if you budget can go above $500 I recommend getting the OLED
yap
Hello,
This monitor is good for 4K + VRR on PS5/Series X ?
I need confirmation before to buy it.
Thanks
Hello, thanks for the great review!
I have compared this to the Samsung Odyssey G7 (G70B), would you recommend this UltraGear over the Samsung monitor? :)
lg
@@radeuz8831 butt why exactly tho
Is the inverse ghosting the halo effect that appears around objects ?
love ur videos. what would u say is the best 1440p 360hz monitor. i might buy one around black friday or when prices go down
My GP950 is due a replacement under warranty, they have offered me this monitor , should I take it?
From what I’ve seen it is a lower class monitor but gets brighter and handles reflections better.
No. If they can't give you a GP950, demand a GP95URP-B.
Should I buy the LG or the m27u?
Dose this have speakers or do u have to plug in headphones for sound?
Any chance you can start doing reviews on non Gaming monitors for Color accuracy etc? Asus Pro art series, Ben Q PD3220U etc. it is Monitors Unboxed, not 'Gaming Monitors Unboxed'
Hi Tim, thanks for the reviews, you're good at this.
I am using this monitor and in the Nvidia Control Panel settings there are options such as "Output Color Format", "Output Dynamic Range". I tried almost all of them, but I couldn't feel any visible difference. What settings would be healthier to use?
I would be happy if you give advice.
I don’t have a pc connected to this monitor, just a PS5. Can I download the firmware update file on a usb and connected to the monitor and it’ll update?
Great vid!
I’m stuck between getting the Samsung Odyssey G7 or the LG 27GR93U. Any advice?
Wanted to ask the same question, did you decide on which one?
@@Cloverfruit-w8tlg def better
I have bought this monitor for 200 euros in official LG store in Spain. Waiting to test it!

How do u like it
Great review sir. I believe this is one of the best channels in the entire youtube spectrum when it comes to testing monitor. I am looking for a monitor 27 4k and high refresh rate mainly for office work , sharp text and occasionally gaming. Is this the best choice overall out there ? I am a bit confused because the offer on the market is consistent with several monitors. What do you suggest sir ? My main concern is the following: in a dark room, the black looks gray. I work a lot at nite in a dark room. Thank you so much ❤
5:10 It's listed as 1440p?
I picked one of these up and I do like it, however has anyone else with one found that when enabling HDR mode in Windows the colours are actually de-saturated/lower-contrast in appearance vs SDR mode? I thought it may be a Windows/driver thing but running an AMD RX6800 with current drivers and other guys with similar setups find HDR only improves these qualities, doesn't reduce them. I've got a support case with LG ongoing.
Bro what do you think of this LG 32GQ950-B?! you have never reviewed it
Also there is the LG 32GQ850-B (1440p) which i currently have, those are newer models than the GP850/950 that you have reviewed.
He did review the 32gq950...
Just picked one of these monitors up for £390 in the UK - I have seen really mixed reviews for the monitor.
For use with a PS5, was this monitor a good decision?
when will you test Samsung G6? I had it once but had to return due to dead pixel and little too dark for competitive games but many people seems to have defects with this monitor.
Have you tried including contrast enhancements and local dimming? HDR and still it's dark dark for you ? otherwise , how do you like it for shooting games ? do you feel any delays on it ?
@@yurarnd8135 input lag and motion performance it's really good and 240hz is just super nice. Idk I tried HDR but the games were just either too bright or washed out colors. I have since replaced the G6 with an LG GP850-P 180hz which is a lot nicer for competitive fps in terms of visibility.
why would you choose a lower refresh rate besides 144hz? Any reason to do this?
HI! Could we have a video review of the MSI MAG 274UPF? Would be great! Thank you Please 🙏🏻
I would love to see you review 32GQ750-B the VA variant 4k 144hz hdmi 2.1.
Hi, one question. Which one do you recommend between this LG and MSI274UPF? Thank you so much!
Could you please take a look at some of Philips' 27" 1440p monitors?
Im struggling to find any good info regarding to responstimes and such.
The one i really want to know about is: Philips 27" 1440p 240hz - 27M1F5500P
what i want to know is how does he get the rgb lighting on the back to go really fast and rainbow colors i don't see that option?
Any plans to review the 27gr83q-b? 1440p 240hz with BOE panel
I just bought this hope it’s worth it. Got it for 600
Where is the amd free sync premium I can’t find it or is it already built in???
How does this compare to the LG27GP95R ? They seem to have the same specs but the GP95R is cheaper.

What are your specific settings for "osd tweaked performance"? I would like to know
Is the SRGB and contrast ratio better on the 27GP95U? Can the GP95U be calibrated like the GR93U? I'm interested in the GR93U but don't like the contrast ratio. I need an all-round monitor, not a gaming monitor, and HDR does not matter.
is better this or LG 27GR95QE?
