A perfect review from a gamer perspective but also overall. Perfect mix between in depth tech details and general fluency of the review, crystal clear commentary and always to the point.
Looks like this uses similar panel as the 27GP850-B, both Nano IPS at 98% DCI-P3, so I can use your ICC profiles for Gamer and SRBG? What do you think?
I picked up 2 of these. On both, all the way across the top edge of the screen (about half an inch starting from the very top) is just slightly dimmer/darker than the rest of the screen. Some call it "vignetting" - its subtle, but noticeable, especially if you have a lighter color (white) displayed along the top. Anyone else notice this on their panel? Also - the 1st monitor has a huge backlight bleed/IPS glow in the top right corner (average/acceptable amount in the other corners), while the 2nd monitor has noticeable, but acceptable/average backlight bleed/IPS glow in all corners. I'm returning the one with the really bad backlight bleed in the top right corner, but I'm really curious about the subtle vignetting issue along the top - is that kinda normal for these?
Buddy, thank you so much for showing the picture quality in all the refresh rates available! looking at 60hz, then 120 and then 144 and 160 allowed me to finaly see the UFO shrink in width, becoming clearer in raport with the refresh rate. As someone who's still on a 60 hz monitor and has never seen high refresh rates screen besides phones, this was very helpful to finaly get a grasp on what i could see while dragging my mouse very fast in Unreal Tournament, the game which i play everyday. Im currently using a 34 inch 1440p ultrawide which is pretty neat, but i want faster framerates for Unreal. I keep looking at all these types of offerings and im wondering if i should jump for 240 hz or just take it slow with a cheaper 144hz one... there are so many things to check before buying a monitor. Just make sure it's not a VA panel, as that has very bad smearing while moving the mouse.
amazing review, do you think that its possible to stream on twitch in 16:9 and render videos in 16:9 ? ( of course by playing in 16:9 with black borders ) or its better to use 16:9 monitor next to it just for that ?
Very good review! If this monitor could be a little bit cheaper, I would just buy it. Since VA is just useless, I need this monitor. Does anyone sponsor me?
Your video is fantastic. Easily the best monitor reviews I’ve seen outside Rtings and TFT Central. But in a great quality video. I’m watching this after having a lot of complications with VA Ultrawides and flickering issues with Gsync. I ended up grabbing a Samsung G7 however I’m really missing the immersive factor of an Ultrawide coupled with a few nitpicks on the G7. It has some minor occasional flickering and motion artifacts (over sharpening). The aggressive curve is also a bit off putting. So I’m looking at picking up the LG 34GP83A-B which from my understanding is just an updated version of this monitor. I’m a bit concerned about the contrast ratio coming from a OLED TV and QLED Monitor. But this helped me make my decision.
I'm very late to the party but I have a question. I checked the gamma on my unit with Eizo Monitor Test und it turns out that in "Mode 2" of gamma settings the gamma is at around 2.0 whereas "Mode 1" is perfectly at the aimed 2.2. So how is it that you and others most reviews recommend the "Mode 2"? Does the Gamma get fixed with ICC profile or is the Eizo Monitor Test not accurate?
I love this review, i bought the GN950 by accident and was really let down and thought the 850 wouldnt be much of a diffrence, but now i’ve finally seen a full review and know what ill be getting. Just waiting for it to be in stock somewhere :D
funny that the OSD left & right default action sets a volume....and it does not have any speakers ;o]] honestly the OSD is not great, quite outdated look and nothing special (at least it has an OSD app that can control basic stuff)....I wanted the Acer X34 GS which had in addition to the joystick also few customizable buttons and also the joystick on right backside which imo is much better place ergonmically (and what I was used to from my 34" samsung and is quite annoying to now have the joystick in the center which is quite unnatural position to reach).....sadly the acer was sold out long term and this one got discounted to 75% of the acer price so I grabbed it even though I did not like the OSD/joystick position/lack of additional buttons all new "gaming" monitors are QD-LED these days so I decied to buy what might be last decent non-OLED gaming moniotor for quite some time
You know what i like about this channel it someone speaking on wards of a gamer's prospective unlike other tech channels who just spunk cash and don't know what they are talking about.
Can you make a video of if my GPU can't handle it in the future if I downscale the resolution and ratio 21:9 to 16:9 will it looks like a real native 1440p 16:9 monitor? Or looks blurry?
I reeeally like your channel as I just discovered it!! Awesome content dude, keep it up :) But can you tell me what headphone amp you're using? I'm curious because I saw it in your gaming footage and didn't recognize it 😅
The V shaped subpixels permit the compression/stretching of the panel, being curved, I would believe. It basically allows the subpixels to physically stretch without very much physical strain. I assume it's needed to prolong its life.
To attract a wider audience, I think it would help to include footage of a variety of games. For example, racing, flight simulator, strategy games, etc. This allows the viewer to imagine the monitor in the games they play. Seems the only thing you showed are FPS games, and honestly, I don’t know why anyone would buy an ultra wide for FPS unless they are average players and are looking for immersion over performance. Thanks for reading and thanks for the high quality video.
Question please and please respond. I will assemble a PC assembly with an AMD RYZEN 9 5900X processor and a RTX 3080 graphics card, but I do not want to buy a water cooler. I want to buy an air cooler and any air cooler that is suitable for the PC assembly and can cool it and also be supportive for AMD processors Rizen because I will buy a processor from amd, is the Noctua nh-d15s chromax black file a suitable chiller? Is this file supportive for amd ryzen processors? Is it supportive for it? And if you know an air cooler that is stronger than this cooler and supports amd ryzen processors please, I hope that Remember me his name in the reply and thank you all and I hope with all my heart for the reply
The D15S should be capable enough for the 5900x. If you're looking for the best air cooler on the market you should consider either the Noctua D15 or the Deepcool Assassin. Keep in mind to check the clearance of your case and RAM - these coolers are big.
Actually I got so used to the curved screen that a flat screen looked convex to me at first 😂 I went back to an ordinary, flat 27" 1440p as the LG was lend to me by a friend for the review. I do miss the big screen and especially gaming with the extra FOV...
I've done research and talked to two LG representatives. Only difference between the GN850 AND GP83 is that the GN is a "business" model with a 3 year LG warranty whereas the GP only has 1 year; aswell as the GP sporting a red UG logo in the back and updated OSD. Other than that they are identical panels with the same features. Kinda silly pricing from LG, I believe they're defuncting the GN850s and continue to produce the GPs
Thanks for the info! I wasn't lucky enough to get in touch with representatives that actually know something about their products... Still funny that I received a GN with the Ultra Gear logo.
@@techlessYT well they had me on hold for about 10 minutes while they gathering info about it, they themselves were pretty lost at first but at the end were able to get me what I needed to know. And it seems like you might actually have the GP83 version dude lol. I've seen threads where people were getting gp83s in gn850 boxes (or vice versa dont remember). Seems like LG was kinda messy with this drop in terms of repricing, transparency on what the monitor actually is and their boxing methods.
How did you get so lucky with your monitor?! The colors seem perfect on yours! Mine came with two stuck pixels "one I was able to get unstuck the other is stuck no matter what I try" and my monitor came with the most ugliest yellow tint I have ever seen on a new monitor ever!!!!! No matter the settings I try it has like this night mode look to it. Tried the monitor on 3 different pc's and they are all the same. I recalibrated it through the windows software and that didn't work. It helped but not nearly enough. I played with all the settings and downloaded color profiles and nothing worked. The only thing that helped was the nivida control panel color settings I had to drop the red and green down sooo much to get it looking some what acceptable. I hate this monitor will all my heart! I can't believe how bad this monitor is. I've had over 5 new monitors over a 6 year span and not one came so messed up and out of wack as this lg. I've never had a stuck pixel before ever on a old or new monitor before. And I've never had such ugly colors before especially on a ips monitor. My old benq and asus tn panels have 100% better colors I'm not even joking. Hdr on makes the yellow 10x worse and is so unusable. My 27" Aorus f127q 1440p 165hz ips monitor is no doubt better in every way so far over this one. It's only hdr 400 like this lg but it actually works just fine and has amazing colors but isn't a ultra wide and Aorus doesn't make a ips ultra wide unfortunately. I'm returning this lg one and buying another one to give it a second chance and hopefully get one like yours on the next one. But after researching this monitor up it took one fella 6 tries to get one of these without a dead or stuck pixel and good colors... I have my doubts but hopefully the lg panel lottery works in my favor next round..
@@techlessYT Okay after a days of researching and trying to figure this out I fixed the color issue finally. LG has a service munu where their is a bunch of good info and settings to where you can adjust color and other cool things. This monitor is endeed a 34gn850 and all the settings say in the service menu even though i bought the 34gp83a. You were right. Exact same monitor with the same panels and all just different box. I think the gp83a are like the intels 10850k cpus where they are 10900k cpus but bad bin / batch. Still selling the part instead of throwing them away. But anyways the color is what i was after in the service menu and sure enough on the 9300k, 7500 and 6500k all three of the settings red and greens were set way to high from the factory. I brought them down to a value of 123 on red and 123 on green on all three color temps and boom! Monitor is now perfect and wooooow do these colors look sooooo good! I'm going to play around with the color temps because i don't want all three the same color so i will play around with it to get warm, medui, and cool set right. But for now i'm extremely happy with the results and don't want a warm hue anyways ever again on this monitor lol. COD and battlefield 1 look outstanding. Only two games i've tried so far but can't wait to try even more. Hdr actually works now to an extent. I really wouldn't call it working being it's only 400 but it's at least it's functional now. To get into the service menu it's super easy. -Turn off the monitor and push the nipple three times to the left and once to the right. -Turn the monitor back on and push on the nipple and select menu. -on the left side of the screen a menu will pop up with a huge list of settings you can play with and tweek if needed. And that's it. Hopefully if someone purchases this monitor and had the same issues i have had or maybe other issues this could be a great tool to help you possibly.
Thanks for the update! Binned monitors, oh well... LG might be onto something lol. I really hope that's just an individual case and they're only planned to be discerned by different packaging and box content, but who knows. Also big thanks for sharing how to boot into the factory menu. Already lost a good hour there trying out different combinations...
New replacement monitor just showed up and it's perfect out of the box. No dead or stuck pixels and out of the box the colors is almost perfect imo. Very little adjustment to get it more to the cool side which i like but like very little adjustment. Took two seconds to adjust and wala. It really is an amazing monitor. Hope it works out in the long run reliability wise and what not.
I grabbed this with a bargain price around $500. Dont think you can get the same spec with that price. Im still worried about burn-in on a oled screen!
good review. one small detail ive wondered about that you mentioned was the size of the screen compared to another screen size, like a 16:9 27 inch. thanks for the video. will get my 850 within a day or two!
i wish manufactureres would at least TRY to improve static contrast on LCD. It has been awful for 2 decades now with the exception of TVs. Give me OLED already, i don't care about burn in :(
Would it be optimal to create an ICC profile for the sRGB whitepoint correction myself? I have a calibrator like yours but I'm unsure what the workflow would be to correct the whitepoint.
I have two options for monitors in my country Aoc cg24g1(va) vs msi g241(ips) Which one you will recommend I will do gaming,coding and maybe a little video editing
Eine Frage, ist dein ICC Profil "Gamer" in 8 Bit oder 10 Bit erstellt worden. Ich betreibe den LG in 10 Bit Farben würde es ein signifikanten Unterschied machen wenn ein ICC Profil in 8 Bit unter Windows erstellt wird und dann nachträglich in Windows in 10 Bit verwendet würde. !? Weiss das jemand? MFG
@@techlessYT thanks. in terms of 8-bit,10-bit maybe you should do a video for that. No one talks about it in terms of normal person usage ( scrolling internet) and gaming. I personally think 10-bit is still a gimmick at this point because I really don't even think most games support it unless it specifically has an HDR toggle and even then this monitor only being HDR400 makes a pretty shit experience anyway.
I may be asking too much but... If it’s possible, can you test out the VG248QG TN monitor? I don’t know if I should get the VG249Q or the 248. There isn’t a single review that was useful for the VG248QG and you would be the best to review it.
whats the settings /frame rate/ Hz that you are playing on? i see so much shadowing and frame duplication... The very reason i wanted to switch my VG35V for better, but from your video it looks like there is no difference...
Well, I've recorded the gameplay with my camera recording with 25 FPS and following the 180° shutter rule. So the video will of course look different than the real life gaming experience. The monitor was set to 160 Hz with Gsync on. Depending on the game I achieved between 100-150 FPS
Awesome review. Made me buy one. Noob question: If one were to use both your ICC profiles for Game mode and sRGB, would one have to deactive/activate between the two ICC profiles when you switch mode on the screen? Or is it somehow connected to the specific modes already? :s
@@techlessYT Unfortunately it was the only card I could get without bending to scalpers. I intend to sell it off when the 3080's are readily available. 😕
@@techlessYT Click on Output color format you will see there is more options, also read up on what is 444, 422 and so on because if you think they are are Color Range this is completely wrong.
@@ThomazMartinez Again, it's full range RGB. Meaning, we're getting the full tripled, so untransformed RGB with no subsampling and no limited range. You could call this 444 RGB as well, if that was what you're referring to. But this notation can be confusing as the "4:4:4"-notation often is associated with video levels and mostly used for matrixed values. I'm not exactly sure what makes you think the 160 Hz only work with chroma subsampling, as it clearly says it's using RGB.
Great Channel I just discovered. Would you consider going from the aw3420 to this monitor a decent upgrade? Also what are your thoughts on this vs the 38inch cousin who is substantially more expensive? appreciate your response and videos!
12:27 Is this really what the real screen looks like, or is it from the mobile camera photography? I can't stay in front of it for long if it looks like this

Very underrated channel, makes the best monitor reviews I’ve seen, covers the monitors people want
check out aperture grille as well
Looks like this uses similar panel as the 27GP850-B, both Nano IPS at 98% DCI-P3, so I can use your ICC profiles for Gamer and SRBG? What do you think?
I picked up 2 of these. On both, all the way across the top edge of the screen (about half an inch starting from the very top) is just slightly dimmer/darker than the rest of the screen. Some call it "vignetting" - its subtle, but noticeable, especially if you have a lighter color (white) displayed along the top. Anyone else notice this on their panel? Also - the 1st monitor has a huge backlight bleed/IPS glow in the top right corner (average/acceptable amount in the other corners), while the 2nd monitor has noticeable, but acceptable/average backlight bleed/IPS glow in all corners. I'm returning the one with the really bad backlight bleed in the top right corner, but I'm really curious about the subtle vignetting issue along the top - is that kinda normal for these?
Do you have a chance to compare "ASUS TUF VG249Q" and "MSI Optix G241", a lot of people are caught between these two monitors. ( Me too :D )
Buddy, thank you so much for showing the picture quality in all the refresh rates available! looking at 60hz, then 120 and then 144 and 160 allowed me to finaly see the UFO shrink in width, becoming clearer in raport with the refresh rate. As someone who's still on a 60 hz monitor and has never seen high refresh rates screen besides phones, this was very helpful to finaly get a grasp on what i could see while dragging my mouse very fast in Unreal Tournament, the game which i play everyday. Im currently using a 34 inch 1440p ultrawide which is pretty neat, but i want faster framerates for Unreal.

Your video is fantastic. Easily the best monitor reviews I’ve seen outside Rtings and TFT Central. But in a great quality video.
I’m watching this after having a lot of complications with VA Ultrawides and flickering issues with Gsync. I ended up grabbing a Samsung G7 however I’m really missing the immersive factor of an Ultrawide coupled with a few nitpicks on the G7. It has some minor occasional flickering and motion artifacts (over sharpening). The aggressive curve is also a bit off putting. So I’m looking at picking up the LG 34GP83A-B which from my understanding is just an updated version of this monitor. I’m a bit concerned about the contrast ratio coming from a OLED TV and QLED Monitor. But this helped me make my decision.
I swear you could make a review on a banana and it will still be an amazing review. Hope to see more... Love your reviews

Bananas come in all shapes and sizes, couldn't really tell if it's a big or small one LOL. anyway I got the monitor so I don't care ;)
i wish manufactureres would at least TRY to improve static contrast on LCD.
It has been awful for 2 decades now with the exception of TVs. Give me OLED already, i don't care about burn in :(
Would it be optimal to create an ICC profile for the sRGB whitepoint correction myself? I have a calibrator like yours but I'm unsure what the workflow would be to correct the whitepoint.
I have two options for monitors in my country
Aoc cg24g1(va) vs msi g241(ips)
Which one you will recommend
I will do gaming,coding and maybe a little video editing
Black uniformity is impressive otherwise i wouldn't consider this one.
thanks for the Review. is it compatible with PS5 120hz?
The subpixels are not shaped as boomerangs nor as rotated v's
They're bananas!!!
Super usefull, thx for the ICC and setting advices !
What was some of your benchmarks for this monitor with you 2070?
Very detailed review, just purchased it after watching. Thank you
hi what you prefer 34 or 38 for gaming ? thanks
Can i use the xbox series x with this monitor? At 1440 with 120?
This is an awesome video and been loving all of your other ones so far. Really would like to see you get your hands on a Samsung CRG90 for review.
Would this pair well with a 6900XT?
Very nice and usefull review! Thanks!
Eine Frage, ist dein ICC Profil "Gamer" in 8 Bit oder 10 Bit erstellt worden. Ich betreibe den LG in 10 Bit Farben würde es ein signifikanten Unterschied machen wenn ein ICC Profil in 8 Bit unter Windows erstellt wird und dann nachträglich in Windows in 10 Bit verwendet würde. !? Weiss das jemand? MFG
That's what I call a review. Thanks for the profiles !!!
Perfect review, this monitor comes to my desk soon.
love the banana for scale... esp since bananas vary in size
ViewSonic xg2405 pls 🙏
Nice reviw,thank you!
What about this monitor for xbox series x?
hey you recommend to have DFC on or off. I don't really notice it doing anything but some people did say it creates problems in transitions but idk
I'd recommend turning that off ✌️
@@techlessYT thanks. in terms of 8-bit,10-bit maybe you should do a video for that. No one talks about it in terms of normal person usage ( scrolling internet) and gaming. I personally think 10-bit is still a gimmick at this point because I really don't even think most games support it unless it specifically has an HDR toggle and even then this monitor only being HDR400 makes a pretty shit experience anyway.
I may be asking too much but... If it’s possible, can you test out the VG248QG TN monitor? I don’t know if I should get the VG249Q or the 248. There isn’t a single review that was useful for the VG248QG and you would be the best to review it.
I'm glad that you like my reviews!
I'm not a big fan of TN monitors, so I probably won't review the VG248QG anytime soon to be honest.
whats the settings /frame rate/ Hz that you are playing on? i see so much shadowing and frame duplication... The very reason i wanted to switch my VG35V
for better, but from your video it looks like there is no difference...
Well, I've recorded the gameplay with my camera recording with 25 FPS and following the 180° shutter rule. So the video will of course look different than the real life gaming experience.
The monitor was set to 160 Hz with Gsync on. Depending on the game I achieved between 100-150 FPS
Awesome review. Made me buy one. Noob question: If one were to use both your ICC profiles for Game mode and sRGB, would one have to deactive/activate between the two ICC profiles when you switch mode on the screen? Or is it somehow connected to the specific modes already? :s
Thanks! Yes, you would have to manually switch the ICC when you switch modes.
best review ive seen today!
How does watching movies or anime look in this monitor? Does it look stretch?
The default is black bars on either side.
Best Picture show thx
This or AW3420DW ?
can you tell me what is the name of the soundcard device ?
RME ADI-2 Pro ✌️
the price is 1,200
Very nice review.
9gag intensifies!
Wowowowow, whats that tool you use to quick adjust the brightness? i need that!
It's a pretty handy tool ✌️

@@techlessYT Damn that's fast. Vielen dank!
Nice Review 👍
great review
Is an RTX 3090 over kill for this?
A 3090 is pretty much overkill for gaming in general. A 3080 or 6800XT will give you almost the same level of gaming performance for far less money.
@@techlessYT Unfortunately it was the only card I could get without bending to scalpers. I intend to sell it off when the 3080's are readily available. 😕
But how big is the banana?
Roughly 2.5 apples 🙃
Great review!
Hey man can you please do a ' Best monitors for color editing and grading at different price points ' ? 🙏🏻
Planning to that in the future, but for now I feel I haven't reviewed enough models for that.
@@techlessYT Out of all you reviewed thus far, which one will you recommend sub $200 ? 😅
Either the Philips 246E9Q for editing and casual single player games or the MSI G241 for editing and more competitive gaming ✌️
@@techlessYT Thank you so much man. I'll go for Philips. Muc Appreciated 🙏🏻🍻
You forgot about 160hz !== 444. you will only get 422
No, it's full range RGB at 160 Hz and not even 444 YCbCr. You can see that in the video at about 12:14.
@@techlessYT sorry but 444 is different to Full Range setting
@@techlessYT Click on Output color format you will see there is more options, also read up on what is 444, 422 and so on because if you think they are are Color Range this is completely wrong.
@@ThomazMartinez Again, it's full range RGB. Meaning, we're getting the full tripled, so untransformed RGB with no subsampling and no limited range.
You could call this 444 RGB as well, if that was what you're referring to. But this notation can be confusing as the "4:4:4"-notation often is associated with video levels and mostly used for matrixed values.
I'm not exactly sure what makes you think the 160 Hz only work with chroma subsampling, as it clearly says it's using RGB.
@@techlessYT check this www.lg.com/hk_en/monitor/lg-34GN850-B
Needs to be OLED.
Great Channel I just discovered. Would you consider going from the aw3420 to this monitor a decent upgrade? Also what are your thoughts on this vs the 38inch cousin who is substantially more expensive? appreciate your response and videos!
What is the difference between this monitor and the LG 34GP83A-B. They seem identical to me but the GP is $200 less. Please help!
The GP only comes with a DP cable while the GN comes with a HDMI and USB cable along with the DP cable.

Is this really what the real screen looks like, or is it from the mobile camera photography? I can't stay in front of it for long if it looks like this
