Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had a decent amount of time to use this monitor and paired it with my gaming laptop which is 4k and powered by a 5090. The results are great, from the color, refresh rate and response. The Build The frame, stand and movement is very well built, It does not feel cheap at all. It does not have a cheap plastic feel to it. 4K Display The display is very detailed and I game on it so the graphics are always smooth and crisp. I really can tell the difference with the 4 graphics when I am streaming 4k content- movies look very detailed and crisp. Refresh Rate-Response Time The refresh rate is 201hz- the pro speed and 2ms response time. There is very little "tearing" when i play COD and the fast gameplay really take advantage of the refresh rate. The movies and sports content also looks amazing, there is very little motion blur when watching sports games or fast paced action movies. I have it connected to my laptop with a displayport to better support the higher bandwidth and the cable is included as bonus. Overall a great 4k monitor with a great refresh/response rate that doesn't break the bank. The monitor does provide everything you need to game or stream but it does not have alot of extras but they are not needed.

The LG UltraGear 27" IPS Dual Mode Gaming Monitor (4K UHD 240Hz or FHD 480Hz, 1ms G-Sync) is truly one of the finest monitors I've ever had the privilege of working with, and at the price, I might add. As a gamer who plays a lot of fast-paced games and is very concerned with visual quality and performance, this monitor truly doesn't disappoint. It ticks nearly all the boxes you could possibly want in a best-of-the-best gaming monitor, and I can truly say that it has positively impacted my overall gaming experience. Let me start by saying this: plugging this monitor into my RTX 4090 was an instant upgrade. The monitor feels like it was made to pair with a GPU of this quality. I've used a lot of high refresh rate monitors previously, but switching to this one was like entering a new level of gaming. The dual mode (4K at 240Hz or 1080p at 480Hz) is no gimmick — it's actually useful depending on the type of game you're playing or how you want you balance the graphics and frame rate. When I play games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, or Starfield, I turn it up to 4K 240Hz, and it's crazy. Like, the graphics are crisp, silky, and incredibly immersive. The detail, the color accuracy, and HDR on this IPS panel are all incredible. Everything just pops — particularly in games with massive open worlds or cinematic graphics. I really didn't realize how much I was missing until I saw these games on this monitor. The clarity at 4K with a high refresh rate makes it feel like you're inside the game. I can now say that I understand the hype around high-end 4K gaming monitors. On the other hand, when I'm playing something extremely competitive like Valorant, CS2, or Fortnite, I flip over to the 1080p 480Hz mode. And holy cow — it's buttery smooth. That 480Hz makes flicks, peeking, and rapid movement feel instant. I don't care if some people believe 480Hz is overkill — once you've tried it, it's difficult to go back. Your inputs feel quicker, your movement feels more responsive, and aiming just feels more accurate. It's definitely something that will assist hardcore competitive players. Even if it's not some type of magical means of improving, it does assist in consistency. And that 1ms response time? Yeah, it's the genuine article. Ghosting is really not even a problem, and motion blur is really just a nonfactor. I've used VA and older IPS panels in the past with quick response times, but this one delivers in spades. Whether pirouetting in quick shooters or racing in games like F1 24 or Forza Horizon, there's no smearing, no lag. It's clean, sharp motion. G-Sync support is a huge plus. I've experienced zero screen tearing, stuttering, or strange sync problems gaming. Even when frame rates fall slightly short of target, the adaptive sync makes everything super smooth. Combining G-Sync with my RTX 4090 just works like magic. I didn't have to mess with the settings too much — it caught everything immediately. And now, nothing is flawless — and I'd like to be truthful about that as well. My minor complaint is that this monitor appears to collect smudges and dust very easily. The screen simply attracts fingerprint and grime more than others I have used. I find myself wiping it clean a little more often than I would prefer. It's not a deal killer by any stretch — just something to note. If you're a creature like me who prefers to have your setup neater, you'll want to keep a microfiber cloth handy. It might've benefited from an anti-glare or anti-smudge treatment to alleviate that. Also, while build quality is typically superb, the stand does occupy a tad more desk real estate than I'd like. It's not clunky — actually, it's quite sleek — but I did have to re-tinker my layout ever so slightly to get everything to fit tidily. If you're low on desk real estate, or simply prefer an über-minimalist aesthetic, you may want to consider mounting it on a VESA arm (which happily it does support). But those are actually fairly trivial nitpicks within the grand scheme. Let's talk about design for a moment. It's sleek, clean, and premium gamer looking without being overdone. The RGB lighting on the back is subtle and gives a great glow without overwhelming. The bezels are also very thin, which makes a huge difference for immersion. You feel like the game is literally the only thing in front of you — no distractions. The OSD (on-screen display) is extremely intuitive. The joystick control below the monitor is simple enough to use, and the menus are clearly laid out. You can switch modes, change color settings, and change performance settings with little trouble. It also has pre-set modes for FPS, RTS, and Reader modes, which are convenient if you don't want to bother with messing around with all of it yourself. If I had to sum up this monitor in a single sentence, I'd say: It's a gamer's paradise with enough give to accommodate various playstyles. If you're all about breathtaking visuals or you value sheer speed and response time, this monitor provides a choice to select both. And to be honest, there aren't that many monitors out there that can really do that without sacrificing something along the way. At this price point, and especially for a 27" IPS panel with dual mode refresh rates, LG is killing it. I've compared the competition from ASUS, Alienware, and even Samsung, but this one stood out to me. It offers you choices without bombarding you. I never feel I'm missing out on something — and that's not usually the case with gaming monitors. In brief, I'd strongly suggest the LG UltraGear 27" Dual Mode Gaming Monitor if you'd like a monitor that is future-proof, giving you ultra-fast performance and 4K clarity. It's not flawless — once more, the smudge is a wee bit of a nuisance — but the bang you're getting for your buck here is absolutely phenomenal. It's now the crown jewel of my station and has renewed gaming in general for me. If you're one of those people who's been on the fence about buying a new monitor — particularly if you already have a high-end GPU like the RTX 4090 — just do it. You'll notice the difference right away. Whether you're playing salty competitive titles or fully diving into cinematic single-player experiences, this monitor meets you where you're at and makes every experience better.
