Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is an excellent monitor for its price-level. It has great color rendition, great refresh rate, and for office use, the document or writing is crisp and clear. Of course, it is not an OLED display, but the quality is very good, and I am not missing my other OLED monitor as much.

I love this monitor, worth the price. I use this for my PS5 Pro, so being able to have 120fps, 120hz, 4k, raytracing, VVR & all the video settings on max for the PS5 Pro & Switch 2 is such a good thing for me. Yes the monitor specs are more than 180fps & hz eventually going to get a gaming pc to also hook up to my monitor

Beautiful monitor. Resolution is excellent, set up was easy. Mounting hardware is well thought out, and worked perfectly in my double monitor set up. Highly recommend.

love this monitor! i play tones of games and everything looks great on it from modded stardew valley to oblivion remastered and call of duty. this monitor is better than my living room tv and the stand for it is super solid and very easy to set up.

I got this monitor as I wanted to play with my PS5, Switch 2 and Lenovo LOQ together. It was an easy setup with the provided HDMI and Displayport cables and I did not need to change the settings other than the brightness. I got it on sale for $300 and that was a steal. I would definitely recommend to get it if it's on sale.

Coming from an older 144hz monitor this one is so much better. The fact you can switch between 4K and FHD with the push of a button is pretty nice. Very sharp and responsive.

The screen is very good, even if it is ips the colors are still excellent, a good purchase, recommended

This is fantastic for my PS5! It runs smoothly at 4K 120Hz, and the picture is stunning.

I purchase this monitor because I have bad eyesight and text clarity is my main concern, only downside is gaming at night darks are almost not existent and it doesn’t give you really vibrant colors. But if you’re a programmer or college student then this would be great for you

Great monitor. The picture quality is very good, I am using it for 3d cad modeling.

Everything looked great until I saw the primary reason I picked it up didnt exist! IF this monitor had usb-c I would have kept it in a heartbeat otherwise. As it is I had to exchange the monitor for something that actually fit my needs but is probably worse...

It's a good quality monitor, not the best, but it's functional for basic tasks. I use it as a second monitor and it works perfectly.

LG has a great line of 2025 gaming monitors - this 27" version of the UltraGear IPS Dual Mode line doesn't disappoint. The box includes the monitor, base, stand (connects base to monitor), HDMI cable, DP cable, 2 snap-on plastic decor pieces, power cable with transformer (split), and quick user guide/paperwork. The monitor comes with a manufacturer's 1-year warranty. PROS: ----------- * 4K at 180Hz and 1080p at 360Hz!! This is wicked fast (but not LG's overall fastest) With Dual-mode at these speeds, this monitor should fit nearly anyone's needs. The dual-mode can be adjusted within the monitor's settings menu. * Monitor can adjust physically in every possible way. up/down/left/right/rotation/tilt * Physical: Solid build, 4 rubber feet keep the monitor in place * EASY to put together with NO tools. This is a huge plus - you don't need a screwdriver or have to keep up with screws. * Lag is basically ZERO with no real noticeable screen tearing. Movements from your PC/PS5 are instant. * Versatile - great for gaming, watching 4K media, or photo/video editing * Colors are very nice - rich & vibrant * Can be mounted with 100mmx100mm VESA mount * 3 USB ports are quite useful along with 2 HDMI and 1 DP. There is an available headphones jack on the bottom of the monitor screen. The joystick/button on the bottom of the monitor makes for easy menu navigation. CONS: ----------- * There is still "some" ghosting when playing high-rate games, but it is minimal * HDR is good but isn't top-tier. This is not a deal-killer, but the black contrasts aren't the best I have seen. At this price point, it's about where it should be, but I was expecting a little better. OTHER OBSERVATIONS: ----------- * This is not one of LG's "smart" monitors, so it doesn't have its own OS. It's strictly a monitor. * There is no webcam or speakers built-in, however, there is an audio jack (out) available if HDMI input is used. * Unlike some of the other UltraGear line, there are no RGB lights on the rear of the monitor. CONCLUSION: ===================== * If you need the dual functionality of 4K and 1080p, this is a great monitor option. The high refresh rate is what gamers want, especially at 4K levels as games continue to get better and demand more from our systems. PS5 won't have any issues here, but some PC games with higher refresh rates may push the limits slightly, but this monitor should be able to handle most anything you throw at it. If you don't need the absolute best (OLED), this IPS monitor is a GREAT next-best option. I would definitely recommend - Great job on this monitor, LG!

To disclose immediately, I ended up returning the LG UltraGear 27inch monitor. My decision to do so ties into my review. So let me just say, if this is strictly your work or multimedia monitor, you can't go wrong here. The visual clarity you get at the specifications of 27inches with 4k resolution are really something you have to see to believe. If you are just used to 1440p or 1080p at those sizes it will really blow you away. Now lets discuss why that is a great thing and also a troubling thing. At this price point, it is a nice, mid-tier monitor that I think would fit most medium tier builds but with one catch. If the monitor is going to be gamed on, you are going to need some serious horsepower in your pc. Hitting 4k, even with DLSS, can be a struggle for the vast majority of graphics cards and even if you could push 60 frames on modern games (4k low 60 fps with frame gen) on your mid-tier machine, it just isn't going to be a graphically pleasant exchange. The monitor will be great, but you can see the low settings, especially in the lighting and textures and that can be a frustrating battle that makes you wonder if you aren't giving it the power it needs to be properly utilized. I have a 4070 and I should have done my due diligence before committing to 4k gaming. The 1080p mode (or optionally selecting a 1440p resolution) does work but native resolution is really what you want to target. Old CRT televisions are gamed on to this day because they don't rely on native resolution targets to display a clean image. The 1080p mode is fast. You really need to try 360hz at some point, but most games won't utilize that frame rate anytime soon and the visual clarity tradeoff is not worth it in my opinion. I wanted to love this monitor for what it was, but it was a story of me not being able to match the rhythm of what it needs for it to be an optimal 4k machine now. For console gamers, I think you will enjoy playing at 4k as consoles tend to have really decent upscaling techniques and are optimized to limit visual bugs that we tend to see on lower settings on pc. I found that to be my preferred use with the monitor in my short time with it. But the big takeaway, this goes down to a decent price when it's on sale, but it feels a few years too early. Eventually, 360hz will be easy to hit and 4k gaming will be more manageable on even lower tier cards but we aren't there yet, and I think you may be better off saving up for an OLED monitor instead, of which LG has options for. Pros: Great screen quality with great video playback (4k videos just look insanely good on here) and crisp clear text, Simple setup and worry free design (took like 5 minutes to get up and running), 27 inches is an ideal desk space compromise (good blend for work/gaming without going one way or the other), Dual mode functionality (more niche but for esports gamers that are okay with visual loss this is a nice boost in refresh rate) Cons: Dual Mode frustrations (1080p mode is blurry and its noticeable on a screen of this size) and adaptive sync seemed forced to be used in the 360hz mode. I found that frustrating given I would have preferred the choice to use it or not. Final thoughts: A great monitor that only asks you if you have what it needs to properly utilize it and if you do, I think you are really going to like it.

This monitor is amazing, the color quality is really good and easy to adjust to your preferred setting. The refresh rate is some of the best I’ve ever had. The resolution is perfect, it has pretty much all the elements you need for gaming or etc.

I picked this up on sale during Christmas time and am more than content with my purchase. Upgrading to this from a 1080p monitor is like night and day. It works well and looks amazing. HDR is okay considering the price, but the 4k capability makes up for it.

I don't think you'll be able to get it for the price I can got it for, but... The 4k 240hz version goes for double the price and you're only losing 25% of the refresh rate, and if you play 1080p you'll still be at 360hz, just no 4k. The 4k 180hz is a really good foundation (with the benefit of DAS for lower latency the monitor has), especially if you have a 4k 165hz big screen tv. If you're willing to spend double the price on the 240hz, 100% get that, but it's hard to justify when this is half the price, or lower, for just 60hz off lower, which you can still use 1080p 360hz mode if you want higher refresh rate.

Very easy to setup, new to gaming monitors and it does not disappoint. One thing I noticed if not mistaken, is that it does not have built in speakers. I really did not know this but luckily I had a pair of speakers for my laptop that has an aux cable running from it. Other than that it’s a great choice, I’ve had no problems with gaming or anything with my laptop setup. But I still have to test it with my interface and Krk speakers though because I was looking for something I can game on and do music production on. Not sure if I still need the laptop speakers plugged in at the same time. Or if i need a new type of cable. Been busy so did not test yet. I believe it’s a great choice especially for my first one buying. I hope there’s nothing complicated needed for my at home studio because only then I would be a little discouraged.

Go to Rratings to find the best calibration settings for this monitor. The image quality is so good and the level of HDR is so good that it may fool someone that it might be an OLED monitor. There are big differences but this is hands down the best gaming monitor for the price.

The dual-mode feature is a total game changer, letting me switch from crisp 4K for detail to 360Hz for incredibly smooth gaming. The color accuracy and motion clarity are both top-tier. It's easily the most versatile monitor I've ever owned.
