I would definitely recommend this monitor. I went from 1440 to 4K and I doubt I could ever go back. If you ever find it on sale I would definitely recommend. I got it for $500. I went from a Samsung Odyssey G7, and the picture is night and day. I didn't want to go with OLED and risk burn in. Works amazingly for PC gaming, and it's just so seamless to use on my M5 Macbook Pro.

If a monitor could make someone feel more hip and like one of the cool kids, this monitor might just be the one. From the overall build quality, the included cables, the design, the lighting on the back, the clear and crisp display, the features, to even the built-in menu display, this monitor really is an ultra piece of gear. Straight out of the box, you know it's a legit piece of hardware. The stand especially is solid and heavy so you won't have any worries about stability on your desk, but if you have an arm mount like I do, the standard Vesa mounts fit perfectly. I was a little worried at first though as the mounting area is a bit sunken into the back of the case, but the mounting bracket still had enough clearance to slide onto my arm mount. It also comes with all the cables you'll need, and these are high quality cables. One thing I've learned in the tech world over the years is that not all cables are created equal. They can't always handle the speeds needed to use equipment to their full potential, so it's nice knowing that you'll get the right cables out of the box. Once it's all plugged in, the monitor works and looks amazing without having to do anything. Of course you'll want to play around with the settings to get the most out of it, but I was using it for several days and absolutely loving it without making any adjustments at all. As for the picture, it's about as clear and crisp as you can get without being OLED. All the monitors I have are multi-purpose. I use them for gaming, video editing, software development, and just about anything else you can do with a monitor. This UltraGear has easily become my favorite of my entire setup. No matter what use I put it to, it performs better than any of my other screens. I first started out using the monitor oriented like any other monitor, but being in software, I've been wanting to have at least one vertically mounted monitor, but have never found one that I felt good with or liked how it looked. I decided to try this UltraGear vertically though and it has absolutely changed everything for me. Not only does it help with productivity when I'm developing software, but it's been a game changer for me in my video editing as a content creator. I make both long-form traditional video content as well as short-form vertical video, and seeing that type of video on this screen is just amazing. At one point I found some 4K vertical video and just left it playing in the background all day it was so mesmerizing. The on-screen menu's are really easy to navigate too and intuitive. I was able to toggle through everything easily without ever having to look up how to do something. And the multi-color lighting on the back side of the monitor is just plain cool honestly. I know this isn't exactly a cheap monitor, but it's absolutely worth it and I would definitely recommend it.

I bought 2 of these monitors as a budget conscious model to walk the line between productivity with school and work, creativity with photoshop, and gaming with our rtx4080. We had 1 Samsung g7 28inch that was great and when we bought a second it kept flickering between the two monitors and caused havoc. This was in 3 separate PCs so we opted to ditch Samsung and try LG. Glad we switched. The IPS Black gets deep darks with way less crush and banding. The higher HDR brightness doesn’t seem to make the screen brighter but somehow we have more natural colors and brightness in brighter images and game scenes comments just made the effect of HDR function more smoothly without overbearingly beating your eyes with a bright saturated display. These monitors take a while to power on from a turned off setting and even when allowing them to enter a deep sleep mode they still take a moment to wake up. My partner finds they were getting faster, maybe a break in period or them adjusting to them. In any case they work flawlessly as 2 displays side by side with only 2 issues to note, though they are not deal breakers for us and I doubt for anyone except the most discerning. 1 already stated above, the time to power on. It’s like 20 seconds to 30 seconds from deep sleep and around 45 seconds from power off. When we put the Nov to sleep or turn it off and let the monitors deep sleep we see a delay in turning them on when we want to wake or power on the PC. This could make you kiss the splash screen from your motherboard to enter setup requiring a restart. Annoying but likely a design related to cost vs function. 2 the Display Port 2.1 only supports DP54 which is hardware based and not software locked, meaning it can’t be updated later. This will force users wanting HDR at 4k at over 144 hz refresh rates to us display compression as the bandwidth of the 2.1 cannot support native transfer. This could lead to the dreaded screen flicker though at over 200hz gaming in 4k with HDR we see no flicker at all. If the 900 dollar price tags make you balk get them for the current sale at 600 and you will have a great monitor that can be productive, my partner says text is easier to read than on their old odyssey G7 and colors are Rich and not over saturated, as well as edit photo or video and game. My partner needs to turn one into portrait mode for coding and excel work and we haven’t tried that yet but fully expect no issues. We looked into OLED and found that they aren’t as burn in proof as we’d like for gaming HUDs and excel cells yet and they are reportedly not great for text. This may be the sweet spot for video watching on one display while working on another in email or coding on one while resource hunting and sending emails in the other. Time will tell if our compromise and avoidance of OLED will pay off but at a significant wallet savings for wonderful results and most likely more usability I think the IPS black and future proof DP54 through DP 2.1 makes these a very sensible and good looking purchase that will last

I've always been very picky about the type of TV I watch movies or do gaming on so when it was time to get a new PC monitor I thought it was time for a similar high quality experience. I've mainly stuck with Sony TVs as I find their pictures quality to be the best, but always had LG in mind. I would have to say that this this monitor arguably has a better picture than my TV. Very colorful, deep blacks, and looks great for gaming and movies! The stand this monitor comes with is also very high quality and feels super durable! The only real issue I had was that I had the turn the dual mode off because it didn't seem to agree with my gaming pc / 5080 Graphics card as it was constantly flickering off and on. After turning off dual mode I haven't had a problem since!

The LG Ultragear 27G850A-B should be a homerun of a monitor, but it ends up kinda meh. Both 4K 240hz and 1080p 480hz modes work well with my 7900XTX, but without fiddling with settings every time you change modes, you can end up with a smearing mess…(real 1ms response time should never have this issue??) At unboxing, this display feels solid and the build quality is superb. It includes a certified HDMI cable which was great since you’ll need it to maintain 4K 240hz. The overall look isn’t too “gamer” but it has some fancy LED lighting to enhance your desk. After setting it up with my desktop, I was impressed by the brightness and all the adjustments from the stand to get it just right. After playing a few games I was seeing some smearing, surprisingly the most was in slower RTS games panning around. I increased the response time option to “fastest”, which somehow made it worse! You also have to mess with the settings every time you toggle from 4K 240hz to 1080p 480hz, because what works for one mode might not work for the other… I would cut it some slack if it wasn’t supposed to be a top tier new dual mode monitor, setting up IPS closer to OLED, but it falls flat. If you’re aiming to run it at 4K 240hz or 1080p 480hz for long stretches, but still want to be able to switch, I could see how this monitor could fit the bill. Otherwise, I would pass on this one!

My monitor started to randomly flicker white like a strobe light involving the bottom half or 3rd of the screen so I returned it. Prior to that, the monitor was fine. This is one of the reasons that I only purchase monitors from a local store. The picture is not gorgeous like some of the OLED monitors I have seen, but it was adequate. I did have some issues with the monitor switching to FHD occasionally which I found irritating as I would have to manually switch it back; I might have figured out it was something I was doing had I kept the monitor longer. Also, the stand... it is a very nice looking and minimal stand but it does not go very low. My monitor sits on a riser so that was unfortunate. Luckily, I had a spare stand laying around that I used while I briefly owned this monitor. Aside from unfortunately getting one with what I assume to be a bad panel, the monitor was fine.

the ability to switch between 4k @ 240hz or 480hz makes this the best monitor for casual or competitive gaming.

Really beautiful screen size and display for editing and also consuming content

[Employee of bestbuy] Good monitor does what a monitor is supposed to do

[Employee of bestbuy] Great monitor huge upgrade from 90hz refresh rate.

Amazing monitors something I would tell person to get. LG are amazing

[Employee of bestbuy] Very colorful and nice darks. Not an OLED but still a nice 4K.

I really liked this monitor overall, but the unit I received had a screen defect that ultimately convinced me to return it. In the end I went with a different 32" LG OLED monitor :)

Great colors and resolution. No issues with the monitors yet. I like it more than the WOLED 2K monitor.

Good Tv works well with my Xbox series x, ps5 pro and my MacBooks.

Wonderful HDR and 4K quality on this monitor. Have tested several PC games with native HDR support, and the difference (HDR vs non) is worth it. Only reason for 4 stars is the high price

The monitor is pretty good love the dual mode It’s incomparable

So far so good, will update after extended use……..

Best IPS monitor you can buy. 4k 240hz looks amazing.

My son approved it!! Amazing monitor !! One of the best one
