UPDATE 2: We've now confirmed with several people that have bought the monitor at retail, along with LG Electronics themselves, that retail 27GP850 models come with firmware that has MBR (backlight strobing) plus variable refresh rate disabled. What this means is that despite our initial review saying this feature was available, retail firmware has it disabled. LG CNS neglected to tell us this, despite our model supposedly being a retail sample in retail packaging. Chalk this down to another "communication issue" between reviewers and LG (see: previous issues with LG). The reasoning for the change is LG weren't happy with how this mode performed so disabled it. MBR is still available at fixed refresh rates, and of course variable refresh rates also still work, it's just that both features don't work together. We'll be updating the review as best we can to remove mention of this feature. We didn't think it worked that well - we recommended using MBR at a fixed refresh or not at all - so it doesn't affect the conclusion. But we will update the review to ensure it is accurate. UPDATE: In the original version of this review we described the "Faster" overdrive mode as "unusable" but that was an error. While the response data shown in the video is correct, we were also basing our assessment on an incorrect UFO Test image (not shown). The mode is in fact usable, but with some inverse ghosting visible - not "unusable" with significant inverse ghosting like we first thought. Overall this mode is not as good as the "Fast" mode, however the Faster mode is a lot better than what LG were offering previously in their 27GL850 so we don't feel "unusable" was appropriate wording to use. We've cut a few seconds out of the video as a result

Saw this monitor and wanted to find some reviews. The thoroughness and information provided was so nice. With that said, the crosshair line alone has earned my sub.

If anyone is finding the colours to saturated and doesn’t like the washed out srgb mode. Use gamer 1, leave everything at default then go into the six colour adjustment. Now lower all six of the colour saturations down to 39. Leave all the hue at 50. Then go back to the rgb and tweek those on a white screen to your preference. Mine are r49 g50 b47. Remember only go down from 50 never above.

I'd really love to see y'all do a breakdown of anti-motion blur tech and overall settings. I hear Dyac is amazing, but I don't want to spend $500 to find out, and I'm playing with AMA settings on my 2540k and noticing how things like contrast, sharpness, and black equalizer make a noticeable difference. I know I'm not the only one that wants to know about this stuff, and with the rise of next gen consoles it would be great timing, especially considering how important anti-motion blur is for controller players.

Hey guys, love your work and passion you put on reviewing each and every detail of the monitors and I'd like to say thank you for that, I was wondering if you have ever consider reviewing the LG 32GN650-B, I've seen a few reviews about this monitor but honestly not as detailed as you guys would so if you haven't and if possible could you see if it is a possibility to make a review or at least let me know if you would recommend it or not?

I really wish other brands would catch up to zowie's DYAC tech. Failing that, I wouldnt mind seeing a 27" 1440p 240hz zowie monitor, I'd rather have IPS but if they ticked those other boxes I could probably justify going back to TN

One thing I'd like to recommend for future monitor reviews is showing the power cable design, whether it's just a cable, there's a brick in the middle or a plug on the end. That could be a deciding factor for some people because the absolutely massive plug this thing has blocks the outlet above, 3 outlets below, and if rotated 90 degrees, blocks both outlets on either side. This means you have to use some type of extention for this thing in order to plug it in unless you just have a dedicated monitor outlet laying around somewhere, something I doubt no one has. If I knew this I would have went with a different monitor. They have the big round spot on the back of the monitor, so it's already not flat, why not just make that 20% bigger and put the power brick in the monitor? Side note, the manual came in a cd, like literally just don't include one at that point wtf?

Still bugs me that most monitors don't have console compatibility for 2k 120Hz yet. While the PX277 Prime might fall short in many categories (particularly price) by comparison, it does indeed support 2k 120Hz even on my Xbox One X, which guarantees compatibility with Series S and Series X as well. As someone with a massive backlog of Xbox games built up from over a decade, along with Game Pass Ultimate, having proper console compatibility is a must for me. Now if I could only get a Series X..

Nice review, i love myself a good sRGB mode. Franklky speaking i hate how gaming monitors look. I do love variable refreshrate which is the coolest invention für pc gaming in the last 10 years togehter with the SSD. It eleminates screen tearing once and for all. The gaming presets on my ASUS look terrible.. but i like that sRGB mode.. you can play all content on it. I think a new market might be gamers that prefer accurate color for all content, or even do Video Editing, but still love the gaming features..

"to help you cheat" lololol love the monitor reviews tim

I keep seeing the G7 mentioned in reviews and recommendation videos on the channel but honestly I don't consider it to be best because of the 1000r curve. To me that makes it almost a niche product. When I was looking for a 1440p monitor I ended up going to rtings and getting the Asus ROG Strix XG27AQ based on that review. I think it should get a review on the channel here because it's an excellent monitor and also only 500 USD

What's annoying is that in the US, the Asus is only a little more expensive. While in Europe LG is $200 cheaper. Sad

I like VA panels but their not so good for games. Good move with and IPS panel, less contrast but much much better motion and adaptive sync.

Just got it on sale, 380 usd. Already got the GL850 which I'm very pleased with.

can’t wait for a review of the ASUS Strix XG349C!

2000€? :P

Is it worth it to buy in 2022 or are there better options out there? It's around 350 euros in my country

This monitor looks really good actually. LG did a great job on this.

Good review. Is there any plans for updated testing on 360hz monitors? Would like to see the CD numbers for them to see if there is much improvement over the 240hz monitors.

Hey Guys, First of all thanks for the great Work. Your Videos about Hardware especially about Monitors is great. I wouldnt buy a Monitor without a review from you. Ist there any Chance you review the Dell G2724D any time soon? A comparison of this and the LG 27GP850-B is the Last Thing i'm waiting for before my buying decision. The MSI MAG 274QPF-QD costs 150€ more than These both and isnt a Option for me. Thanks in advance and keep Up the great Work!

Man the G7 still surprises me to this day. Such a good monitor.

It's a good monitor, but has issues. I had 3 of them and returned them. First strange noise, hot display screen and losing signal. Second hot display screen, losing signal and stutter. Third the 2021 model Flicker and hot display with 1010 firmware. It's good but to many flaws for that price

Nobody ever has the answer to this question.

I'm done with LG monitors. Had the LG 32GK650F-B and still have the LG 27GL850-B (now collecting dust). Both suffered from horrible G-Sync compatibility issues and both had screen retention issues. I switched to the true G-Sync ViewSonic ELITE XG270QG 27 and not only have I not had any of those issues it performs so much better. Less stuttering in games. Just an overall better performer.

How is this monitor vs. the Asus ROG Swift PG279QM you revied 3 days ago?

How about looking at the charts where he mentions the PG279QM?

With the way monitors are headed I don't think I will be upgrading (LG GL83A-B) until mini LED becomes more affordable or OLED finds some way to reduce degradation significantly and comes in 27".

Hello! Thank your sharing your really helpful review. Since i notice this is a last year video, are you familiar with the LG GP850-B? If yes, would you say the -P version is a much improvement or just a slight one? Would love to have your opinion on that since i am currently looking to buy a gaming monitor for PS5. Thank you in advance!
