This monitor is terrible. The sound does worth progeny and the stand for the monitor broke after 2 weeks, just past the return period. Imagine that. Will never buy an lg item again.

Man I didn't realize until I tried this how much 1080p just isn't enough for a 27" monitor. I'm returning it

Monitor worked fine for two days but then the screen started to flicker.

As I was getting ready to set up a new computer (being just used a general workstation for internet, email and videos), I was needing to get a good, but not necessarily high-spec'ed monitor. While there were quite a few options in the range I was looking for, this LG 27" FHD monitor with 120Hz IPS and HDR10 seemed like it would be the best option for what I was needing. When viewing the front, this has probably this slimmest bezel I've seen, especially for the bottom. With most of the newer monitors I've worked with being thinner on the sides and top, but a thicker bottom (to various degrees). While the bottom is a little bit thicker than the side, it is still not very big. The overall thickness isn't too bad and does start tapering thinner near the top. The stand comes in two pieces, a very thin metal base plate and the connecting support arm that fits into the back of the monitor. There are two screws for connecting the support arm when in-place (holes are in the bottom, and two more for the base plate. Each pair of screws were located in separate bags not near each other, so be aware to look everywhere and not accidentally toss any. The only adjustment available is tilting forward (-5°)/backward (20°), so no height adjusting, swivel or screen rotating. There are only two inputs, HDMI (2.0) and D-SUB (which is somewhat strange nowadays to have instead of another HDMI, DisplayPort or even DVI-D). There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack. As with most monitors, it can be mounted, using 100 x 100 VESA. There is a single control joystick just under the bottom edge, directly in the middle. Pressing straight up turns it on, press and hold for 5 seconds or so turns it off. Quickly pressing while it is on brings up the setup/control menu (which will be slightly different depending on the input source), with Source (left), Picture mode [HDMI input] or Auto Configuration [D-Sub] (right), Power off (back/push), and cancel (forward/pull). There are additional functions when tilting in each direction without activating the control menu. Left or right controls the built-in speakers’ volume, forward or back goes into the Accessibility menu, with can turn on action-activated/menu beeps. There is a "Beep Guide" in the User Guide that explains what each beep pattern is for. The picture looks great with everything so far, from viewing images and video, with its 120Hz native refresh and IPS display. I ended up setting the Picture mode to HDR and turned on HDR10 in Windows display settings. It seems to have a slightly matted coating to reduce glare. Even though it is a 27" monitor, it is still only Full HD (1920 x 1080) instead of the typical Quad HD (2560 x 1440). So, it everything will just be enlarged compared to a 24" monitor, which is just fine for this situation. While I didn't try to do any gaming, It probably wouldn't be too bad. It has a 5ms (GtG) response time, but 1ms Motion Blur Reduction to help keep things smoother. Overall, this will perform great for general use, and at a decent price point.

Overall – This is a really solid everyday monitor that does a lot right. The smooth 120Hz refresh rate and IPS color quality are the highlights. That said, HDR performance and contrast are weak points. If deep blacks matter to you, this won’t be the one—but if you want a smooth, clean, reliable display for work or lite gaming, you’ll be very happy. Packaging – The monitor was packaged well with no issues. Everything inside was protected properly, and nothing felt loose or under-secured. Like most monitors, you’ll want to lay the box flat to open and assemble to avoid stressing the panel. Assembly – Assembly is quick and easy with no tools required. The stand snaps into place without any hassle, and you can be up and running in just a few minutes. Touch and Feel – The build quality is good for this class of monitor. It’s mostly plastic, but it doesn’t feel cheap. The thin bezels give it a clean, modern look and work well if you’re running multiple monitors. Tilt adjustment is included, but there’s no height or swivel adjustment, which limits ergonomic flexibility. Once positioned, though, it’s stable and doesn’t wobble. Setup & Functionality – The setup was straightforward using HDMI, please note that there is no DisplayPort, with no issues detecting the input on power-up. The IPS panel delivers nice color accuracy and wide viewing angles, making it great for everyday productivity and media use. The 120Hz refresh rate is the standout feature here—it’s immediately noticeable in scrolling, general desktop use, and gaming compared to a 60Hz panel. HDR10 support is included, but I didn’t see much difference beyond slightly brighter highlights. The blacks seem to be more dark gray, which is noticeable in darker scenes if used with another monitor. Standalone, it’s acceptable or with the same monitor, it would be OK. Brightness is more than adequate for office or home use Bottom Line – The LG 27" IPS FHD 120Hz monitor delivers smooth performance, good color, and easy setup. The refresh rate alone makes it a noticeable upgrade for everyday use. If deep blacks or true HDR are must-haves, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

Excellent monitor with excellent picture. A touchscreen would have made it better.

Does what I want it to however I was missing screws and had to improvise.

Picture is great and it’s easy to use. My kids love playing PC games on it.

Amazing value on Black Friday! Steal of a deal on price and qualtiy!

Easy installation. Good for screen visibility for small print.
