Excellent updated display from LG. Would happily main this for all games.
Fresh upload on the 2nd channel also! th-cam.com/video/5-aTwZdudH4/w-d-xo.html
Will. 3700x and 3070 be good enough for this?
Could you try the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD? Would like to hear your opinion on that one.
Please give us timelines😭
I remember this from the stream, in fact at the end, I asked if it was the 950! Great video Ali!
@@senseicheems3270 Yes
What makes me take his review more seriously is the fact that he games pretty well.
And he actually knows the technical stuff that makes a monitor "good". Combine the grassroot element (from him actually using the product like typical user) and his technical knowledge its a pretty good combo for a reviewer.
This does matter. Someone doesn't need to be a pro to review these products of course, but having serious gaming experience does make you look at things differently and that's usually what we like to see in these reviews.
He definitely became my main source when it comes to solid and strong review videos. My new LG monitor will arrive tomorrow so I am very hyped for that! Wasn't able to make the purchase if I had not watched this review video!
@@FoxYinnyy Hey how's that monitor treating you? Any problems? or regrets?
@@KuroKuroki I purchased the 27GP850 10 months ago and because I loved it so much, I purchased the exact same monitor as a second display.
A little late to the party, but I got this monitor for $350 after buying only budget 1080p 144hz TN panels for years. Holy shit, I didn't realize what I was missing. Every game I play now looks completely different
I just bought this used for $250. Worth every dollar
I bought this now (still waiting for it) after having the same 60Hz 1080p for the last 12 yeas.
I'm about to join you in this club. Upgrading my old ASUS VG TN 60hz monitor to this!
@Michael Stevens well worth it. Still using mine as my main monitor
@@devinmcdrip did you choose specific settings in the menu or do you play on standard
I stumbled upon your channel a few days back and I must say, I really like the style of the way you do reviews in. Good job dude
Perfect timing, keen to pick one of these up soon

Truly revolting.
As a sweaty wraith main, I'm proud.
I love your content, such a minimal look but so informative
That’s exactly what I was just looking into getting lol Thanks
I was waiting for this review
litteraly waiting for this video and u drop it the next day
Made up my day pal
Was your day made up? Wow
i was just looking at this! Great timing!
His review is SO FRESH, it's not even available yet through his link! Seriously though, GJ on getting the first review of this new monitor. And your content looks top notch!!
Great review mate, have had a couple of LG monitors and the only real issue for me is that they sometimes have a issue with recognizing video output after going into sleep mode.
How do you fix it? Just reset it?
Thanks for reviewing this monitor! I noticed you recommended the Warm 3 setting . Any chance you have other recommendations for the settings on this display? thank you.
A good thing to note with the LG monitors is that the connection inputs are perpendicular to the panel. This makes it super hard to wall mount with some VESA mounts, speaking from experience. The parallel ones like on the Gigabyte panel shown are way better for that kind of setup.
Can you explain? They are on the side not the bottom?
@@EmptiedPockets What i mean is that if the inputs are on the side, it's much easier to route the cables through a duct if the monitor is wall mounted. Since the LG inputs are on the back of the monitor, your wall duct will have to align with where the inputs are because the cables are sticking out directly towards the wall.
Don't think I did a good job explaining it but shoot me a pm if you want and I can send some photos of my setup with an LG monitor and why it was so hard
@@5bStix shoot I don’t know how to dm on yt
@@5bStix who wall mounts their monitor that sounds so stupid
Wall mounts sounds pointless for flat monitors of this side lol
yeah Tim from HU made a good detailed review of this monitor, seems like the best choice in it's price range, too bad i am after an ultrawide and not just a 1440p display
You have really solid crosshair placement
💀
Contrast is a bit on low side and left side has a little backlight bleed. Although text clarity is sharp for productivity, colors look good, sRGB mode is actually usable and I use a monitor stand so no issues there, came from Samsung curved VA panel and now it looks blurry to me, pretty happy with this, good deal for $380.
Have you any experience using this monitor for photo editing?
@@IVMTAB I'd like to know as well
Isnt 1000:1 like the standard contrast for ips?
@@IVMTABdo you have this monitor now bro? Im editor too and completely confused between this and 83gla one
@@markojovanovic9651 a bit late to reply, but in practice it hangs around 850:1 instead of 1000:1
Thanks for the great content! Please review and compare with the 27GP950! Would also appreciate recommendations re GPU pairings for particular games.
I just bought the 27GP83 which is the successor to the 27GL83. Coming from the 27GN850 I much prefers the more natural colors on the 27GP83. I do agree on the monitor legs though as they protrude out a little far.
Gb83 modrn than gl one are you sure bro?
great review, I think is important to include a console section in monitor reviews (including HDR support, resolutions and such). I play both PC and consoles with a PC monitor.
Play on the series x. Would you happen to know if this allows 120hz 1440p with freesync enabled through hdmi?
@@Badcompany316 With FreeSync, it's capped to 1080p 120Hz. With FreeSync disabled, the console thinks the monitor is 4k 120 and sends such a resolution (if the game supports it) which the monitor then downscales to 1440p 120hz.
Great video. As usual.
Really nice video as always ! Have you tried the asus vg27bq ? I own the asus one and it's a TN panel, I really like the response time but the colors are a bit washed off so I'm wondering if the LG one could be worth upgrading to.
All your videos look super clean

I'm really looking forward to seeing a test of the 27GP950 when it came out !

Nice! I have a 27GL850 which I love. Not letting it go any time soon.
I recently bought a 32" version of this monitor, really liking is so far
Lets see a review on the Alienware AW2721D, I’m loving it myself and I’ve seen some really good reviews on it. The only real downside was the price however it’s not 30% off so it’s looking rly good
I bought for 1000 aud and the original price was 1500
@@blackclover4375 I know insane deal right now. I bought for 800$ cad vs 1500$ usually
Interactive display adjustment, not see that before. Would love to know your thoughts on the Gigabyte panel and it's BGR subpixel layout.
Great vid as always
Hey OT, if you were to choose would you rather go for the LG gp850 b or the aorus fi27qx? Really debating these two monitors as the gp is now 500 and the fiqx is about 800
It's good to see LG doing well in making monitors, since they have stayed away from making phones.
Currently watching this on my lgv40. Served me well for Years
They make great tvs so you’d think they’d do good with monitors
wtf lg make phones too
I tried both 32GP850-B and 32GK650F-B and side by side, the 650 was the better panel. The backlight is way better and uniform. If you look at the 850 from any other angle from the center, you will notice the contrast change...this is also present if you look at areas away from the center. I don't understand why no reviewers ever talk about these things.
It differs from monitor to monitor a *lot*. However, the Nano IPS panels do have significant IPS glow (either blue or orange) on all of them it seems. Actual backlight issues like bleeding (which would also amplify glow btw) though, differst from sample to sample in bizarre ways. Also: for some reason, bleed can become less after use (IPS glow usually doesn't change much though frm what I've seen) especially the first few weeks/months. Probably with the pressure between the panel layers shifting as heat does its thing.
Why the fuck would you wall mount a 27” monitor??? This ain’t a TV
6:20 watching this rn on one of em :D
First high refresh monitor I've ever owned so I'm superbly happy with it
Great video! Is this monitor supposed to substitute the GL850 or is it just a different product?
The 21:9 ultrawide variant (LG 34GN850) is also amazing, I just got it a few days ago and I'm never going back to 16:9
4:05 - The MBR you showed for 27GP850 is "Adaptive Sync enabled + Fast + MBR", so its strobed VRR which is very rare to find in monitors. If you included ufo pursuit shot with Adaptive Sync disabled it would look much better.
@Haimura You can always choose between MBR/Sync/MBR+Sync.
If you can feel added latency then implementation is not good. On my VG279QM i measured same latency with ELMB SYNC vs ELMB.
@Haimura Wich monitor did you test with ELMB SYNC? It does not look good when compared to classic ELMB (without sync). But these are some of the first generations of this tech, so I'd expect it to be improved in future.
And yes you can enable MBR only - th-cam.com/video/ItPCOFR5xuU/w-d-xo.html . Check out the ufo pursuit comparison, MBR vs MBR+VRR
Perfect Video!! I would love to see a Video "complete Silent custom loop". I try to find out how to create a silent build, but it is very difficult to buy Party and try them out. So I think with ur experience it would be possible :-D Thanks for ur Input!
Great vid! Maybe I’ll try to get one 🤔. Been looking for a nice 1440p.
Do you have any news on when we could expect the 34” version?
LG is just GOD at this screen business. Quality and pricing always great. What you think about color difference between nano ips and rapid ips ? LG have good dci p3 but AUO panel have %99 adobe gamut too.
i believe lg owns ips, so yeah not surprising if theirs better
Flawless review!
Thanks for a great video! How does this monitor pair up with the 27GN950 as a second monitor?
Great review! Is the GP950 next?

Watching this on my LG 27GP850 ;)
Thanks Optimum for your wonderful reviews.
I was on a VA curved 165hz 1080p and this LG monitor panel blew my mind away. Everything looks so crisp because of 1440p and the colours look fantastic! Content and Gaming looks so much better.

Thanks for the awesome content, just bought that monitor (I know it's a bit late) and I'm in love with it! If u don't mind, what are your color configs to play valorant? Ur game looks brilliant
The question is? Would still recommend this over 4k? Im a little bit older now. I enjoy apex and COD, and i want to use refresh advantages but im also looking for high details as well. Im thinking about going 4k and using the rescaling option like you do as well. I think that im more for pixels since the overall server perfomance in COD with the not so great netcode is not worth the extra refresh speed when you can have 144 hz on 4k or 180 hz in 1440p
Definitely! Just bought this 2K with 180hz(overclocked) really damn good !
@@pepsiboy4274 how good does the monitor handling hdr content?
Would you still recommend this now?
rocking with the same panel on hp omen 27i.
One of the best monitor i ever used.
nice review i got this monitor the best i ever owned
первый хороший и понятный обзор, который я посмотрел. я действительно понял, что это за монитор. спасибо. потому мои соотечественники тупо зачитывают характеристики с бумажки, ничего не добавляя от себя.
Isn't the MSI MAG274QRF-QD currently the top-dog? Biggest problem with LG is still the lack of contrast.
It is. But he doesn't review it for some reason? Maybe they don't provide units
Just got the 32 inch model. Pretty happy with it except the blacks are very gray. Aside from that it’s great.
Never giving up my lg cx 48” oled!!
I just bought the LG 27GP850 but for some reason its capped at 144hz instead of being at 165 and the Overclock option for 180hz is also greyed out, is there something I can do or should I return it?
dont use hdmi port, dp instead
This monitor has average contrast performance, even compared to other IPS options though. I bought it anyway and am not disappointed :)
Is the contrast worse than tn?
I have been trying to find a monitor that fit my video/photo editor/gaming lifestyle and now I can firmly say that this monitor is on the top of my bucket list! Will edit this comment when I get it :)
u get it?
hiya, nice review thanks, have you tried the new 32GP850-B , I am considering switching from my PG279QE (which has been amazing)
Not sure it’s as good as my Alienware AW2721D (LG panel)
I have the older LG27GL850 and I am generally happy with the monitor, but I did replace the stand, as I dont like the prongs, how wide they are, and I think the OSD on this new version looks like it was made for teenagers with its theme. But my experience agrees with you in general, these are good panels.
what stand did you replace it with ?
@@finessin i want to know too
Another great video. Do you think the LG gp850 b is better than the aorus fi27qx or fi27qp?
Just got mine for $420 at microcenter. And camped out and got a 3070 from Best buy the other day at MSRP. Was patient and it paid off. Good fn week!
This is great and all but we seriously need a workout routine. Man is buff as shit.
Hi Optimum, what is the minimum GPU requirement to drive 144Hz at 1440p for this monitor? Thanks!
RTX 2060 or above
I’m deciding between this one and the Samsung odyssey G7 27 inch. I’m personally looking for the best middle ground so really high performance as in low amounts of ghosting and super responsive while trying to not to lose out on good graphics and pretty colors(high color accuracy) Which one would u recommend more ? I’m open to other ones as well
Great review thank you. Is this a good monitor for my series x? Any settings I should be using to make it better?
Watching you destroy people in Valorant makes your videos even better 😄
Just bought mine for 295€, looking for extra validation for my purchase lol
Do you like it, how it's performing?
Just got it! Quite nice looking although SRGB is a bit yellow
I’ve got a benq ex2780q and I love it . Will never upgrade until oled monitors are mainstream
My recommendations for 1440P high refresh rate monitors are: Gigabyte M27Q for ~$300, Dell 2721DGF for~$400, LG 27GP850 (the monitor in this video) for~$500, and the Samsung Odyssey G7 for ~$600-700. All are great monitors for their price point, it just depends on how much you can spend.
The LG27GP850 is on sale for me (german amazon) right now - 280€ instead of 380€, guess ill just have to get it lol.
@@RRXn3oN yeah, but 2 years ago it was more expensive
@@godhash ye 380 was already a good price i guess. But now i got even 100€ less :D. So lucky, i love the monitor so far.

Ok Ive decided to purchase a new system, 5 year upgrade, the monitor is down to 3 lg27gp 850, lg 32 gp850 or the MSI mag274 qrf-qd...any thoughts, refresh and crispness with really good DPI is most important to me, color if it hits close to TV is fine for me.
Damn Hammond Labs look so clean on camera imagine in person
SAMSUNG Odyssey G7 > all other 27'' 2k monitors. Waiting for your review hehe.
True
Would you grab this over the Asus xg279q?
Also completely off topic, but whats an inexpensive way to figure out what mechanical keyboard switch is right for you?
waiting for this to come in this week picked it up for €299
Would you recommend this one over the Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A?
The Asus one seems to be a very similar monitor with the exception of it offering 10 bit colors, officially built in G-Sync and DisplayHDR 400.
Of course when I finally pull the trigger on my first 1440p monitor with the 27GL850-B, this one comes out just two weeks later.
F
I would have gotten an LG but while reading reviews I found a few saying that it goes into sleep mode and resets all the settings back to default and that there was no fix for it. Went with a msi 1440p instead
Man, I have tested like 10 monitors last 1.5 year. I think I finally settle with this monitor, I got lucky to have unit without sicnificant backlight bleed and ips glow. I was earlier too afraid to buy this because I had seen too many blb problems.
Im happy that I dis pull to trigger to try it. Its excellent.

Yes this is what I'm looking for
Hi, I also have this monitor. There is a question bothers me for long time. When I set "adaptive-sync" as basic, "overlock" option works fine but "motion blur reduction" option grayed out. But if I turn off G-sync in nvidia control panel, then "adaptive-sync" option will gray out and "motion blur reduction" works fine, but "overlock" option also gray out!!! I am really confused. BTW, I use display port rather than hdmi. I really appreciate if you know the reason!!!
Hi! you can use 180 hz with mbr at the same time? i bought the monitor and couldn't use mbr unless i turn of overclock and adpative sync... Thanks a lot!🙏
can you recommend a 32-inch 1440p gaming monitor? I can't find many reviews where they clearly explain the pixel density issues. I find seeing pixels very distracting.
Any comparison to the old 27GL850? It's on a discount right now so it's cheaper than this one actually.
Great video , thank you! Is a 2060 powerful enough for this monitor?
