Excellent updated display from LG. Would happily main this for all games.

What makes me take his review more seriously is the fact that he games pretty well.

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

Perfect timing, keen to pick one of these up soon

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.

That’s exactly what I was just looking into getting lol Thanks

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.

It's good to see LG doing well in making monitors, since they have stayed away from making phones.

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!!

My wife just bought me 2 of these for my birthday. We’re in the middle of moving into our first home so they’re still in the box and I wasn’t sure how I was going to like them. It definitely put my mind at ease and I’m thankful I found this review

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.

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

[siime]

I like how even though I don’t have the money I just watch it that’s how you know you’re a good tech YouTuber 👍🏽

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

[TechLevelUpOfficial]

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

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.

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