the best monitor, The best monitor I found in this store, and at the best price.

Great monitor for gaming but the colors are kinda lacking the blacks aren’t as deep as higher end models

It has a very good resolution, very suitable for competitive play. The sellers' appreciation was very helpful.

Great gaming monitor if you want those clear graphics for call of duty! I used to be an omen guy, but I’m glad I made the switch!!

Exchanged my 32” Samsung for this 27” which the size I like a lot better and specs were good for my budget. However, I exchanged my Samsung one after not liking the size for this LG on February 24. Today is May 11. Not even three months went by and a red/purple line shows up on my screen while I’m playing. For those not sure about getting the 4 year warranty, do it because if something like this happens. Will be going to get a new monitor very soon.

Bought this when I was upgrading my system and wanted something bigger with slightly higher resolution. Has been wonderful so far and is easy to use!

The LG UltraGear 27GS75Q, a confusing name for a simple, yet strong, monitor. LG throws a solid IPS screen with an appropriate resolution for a great 27” size. Coupled with a high refresh rate this should be a real winner. First and foremost, this is billed as a gaming monitor. But does it serve its purpose? Before we jump into that, out of the box, the UltraGear is pretty well equipped. Despite a fairly reasonable price, the stand has a fairly robust height, rotates to portrait, and tilts -5 to 20 degrees (estimated, I couldn’t find my protractor). The weighted stand is fairly wide, and a dark gray texture (the texture is plastic). The top and side bezels are narrow at about 7mm. Below the front lower bezel, which is larger at about 2cm w/ a 5mm chin below that. The chin honestly struck me as a light sensor, or IR receiver, but alas it is neither. The stand is easy to attach, clipping in tool free. The bottom attaches with a wing nut, and you’re in business. Around back you’ll find a DisplayPort 1.4 and 2 HDMI 2.1 ports. The monitor also sports a 3.5mm audio port for headphones or external speakers. There are no internal speakers. The only other port on the back is a DC power jack, and yes, this monitor has an external power brick. It’s small, but only has a 4’ power cord. Powering on the monitor is easy, and it lets off a cheery beep when you do. The beeps appear to be accessibility features that are turned off by default, but it obviously needs to let you know that it has powered on. The accessibility features are nice to see. To power on the monitor simply press in the 4 way joystick found on the bottom center of the display. Once powered on, you’ll find tilting the joystick left or right will adjust volume of the audio output, up and down open the accessibility menu, and another press in will show the on screen menu which changes what each direction does. Up turns the power off, left selects in the input, right goes to game mode, down closes the menu and another click in will open the full settings menu. In settings you’ll see a nice display of the current refresh rate, feature settings, response time, and DAS mode status. The first menu lists what ‘Game Mode’ is active and let’s you select one. The options are Gamer 1, Gamer 2, FPS, RTS, Vivid, Reader, HDR effect, and Color Weakness. I found that Gamer 1 is the most like standard, while the other modes tended to play with the color balance and gamma. The Game Adjust menu is the next option, and this is where you find the tasty settings of ‘Overclock’, which enables 200hz over the stock 180hz, Adaptive Sync, which is on by default, but the set to extended, black stablizer, which can enhance dark scene details. Below those menus you’ll find picture adjust, with the normal color controls. Gamma controls are represented as ‘modes’ and color temp has 4 presets and a manual. Individual RGB channels can be adjusted as well. Input and general are left, and the only interesting piece in input is the ability to turn on or off automatic input switching, which is a great thing. In general you get language settings, the ability to change what settings are found on the first menu, and various energy saving settings. The power LED is off by default, and offers a warm red glow when enabled. Leaving the settings behind, what exactly are we looking at? Well this panel sports a 2560x1440 resolution at a 27” size, HDR support, 200Hz refresh rate and about 300 nits of brightness. If your eyebrows raised at the ‘HDR’ and 300 nits, I don’t blame you. You’re not getting any true HDR experience out of this. Sure it supports HDR 10, but in name only really. Colors look bright and vibrant though. The monitor will wash out severely in a bright room however. That said, this panel is billed for gaming, and here is where it excels. Very rarely can you find such a nice looking panel w/ IPS support and high refresh rate with a usable resolution. So how does it game? Well first, let’s max out this by going to the settings menu and selecting “Overclock” to yes. Once we have that turned on the monitor will reboot. You should now be able to select 200Hz as a refresh rate (if it doesn’t already default to it). Note: You’ll need a GPU from the past few years. I would recommend leaving HDR off in Windows with this monitor. I’d also recommend turning on G-Sync or Freesync, which should be enabled by default. I found leaving the default “Fast” overdrive setting was best, as there was limited overshoot and ghosting in my pictures. Now that we have the monitor optimized, let’s game. The default game 1 settings are appropriate for most games, despite there being an FPS and RTS settings. 1440p is a great resolution for many mid-high end GPUs to drive at high-ultra details. I fired up Counter Strike 2 and found buttery smooth frame rates (my 4090 knocks out plenty of frames to hit 200 FPS+ in this game on Ultra at 1440p). Playing Starcraft 2, one of my all time favorites, was great as well. The colors popped, motion was smooth, and the overall experience was excellent. Dark Souls, a game locked at 60FPS, won’t get a lot from the high refresh rate, but definitely pointed out a weak spot on this monitor with IPS glow very evident in the darker scenes in this game. Luckily the glow was even, without much backlight bleed around the edges. This means dark games, played in dark environments are pretty rough compared to a VA panel or OLED. Of course this is the tradeoff for those beautiful IPS colors that pop and excellent viewing angles. Of mention, the 200Hz overclock is legit. I had no trouble running the resolution at that refresh rate, and I did frameskip tests - with perfect results. Motion also was excellent when doing high speed captures of the UFO motion test on Blur Busters website. This monitor does excellent motion for LCD. The overall experience of the LG Ultragear, especially considering the prices, is excellent. You get a solid 1440p monitor, at an exceptionally high refresh rate, a large variable refresh rate support, and great color. You deal with the realities of IPS technology, but good quality control is evident, as backlight bleed was practically non-existent. LG makes some of the best IPS panels in the business, and even their budget offerings are top notch. Dark scenes will suffer, but if you don’t mind those compromises, this monitor stands out as an exceptional piece of kit for the budget minded high resolution gamer.

Great picture, smooth and amazing, nothing beats it at this price point.

Amazing Gaming Monitor Pairs well with The Ps5 Lets Go!

Great monitor!! Made my gameplay from my PC look so much better than my old one.

Amazing monitor. Definitely an upgrade from my old one

the resolution and refresh rate are good, but within 20 days of owning this monitor, the screen got burnt out. Parts of the screen are darker than others. the burnt part of the screen is shown in the image below, (not the part shaded fully black)

I his high hopes for this monitor had for 23 days not played on every day and today January 19th I turn it on to see a purple line going through the whole screen conveniently it shows up five days after the return date

There is a stuck white pixel that is super annoying and I noticed it when it was too late

– OVERVIEW– The LG UtraGear 27” (Model #27GS75Q-B) is an QHD IPS gaming monitor capable of up to 180 Hz refresh rate. It is both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD Freesync compatible, has a response time of 1ms GtG, and supports HDR10. Its color gamut is sRGB 99% (CIE1931). It has a contrast ratio of 1000:1. It supports 1x DP, 2x HDMI and a 3.5mm headphone jack. – LOOK/FEEL – The 27GS75Q-B has a 3-sided borderless design, with the exception of its chin that probably houses some of the brains as well as down firing speakers. The monitor is fairly thin for an LCD panel and has gloss outer bezels; the backing has a design embossing on a matte surface. The “UltraGear” logo can be seen on the top center backing of the monitor and it is aesthetically pleasing to look at if the back of your system is visible (think open/centered desk design). – SETUP– Setup on LG monitors have been very simple and straightforward. There are no tools required and each section of the monitor (panel, stand) can be easily assembled and disassembled in a few minutes. This monitor is no different as it shares the design philosophy of its siblings. Cable management is very good; I love that the ports are directly behind the monitor as opposed to other monitors that have them located facing down toward the bottom of the monitor. Bringing up the OSD is also very simple; LG employs the joystick method of changing settings. It’s a single button with directional buttons as well as the standard push from dead center. Pressing the center button brings up the main menus where you can find the main settings, input change, game center changes, on/off and exit OSD. A press to the left or right brings up volume levels, and press forward and aft brings up accessibility and beep settings. Going into the main settings, you will find the status of the monitor (Hz, Adaptive Sync, HDR, Response Time, DAS). These settings will change with respect to how your GPU is configured. Other settings like picture adjustments, game adjustments and general settings can be changed here. Everyone has their own preferences, so I won’t comment too much here other than LG does a wonderful job at navigating through the OSD with a single button joystick. – PERFORMANCE – Front and center is the monitor’s refresh rate @ 180Hz, which is fairly noticeable with respect to 120Hz and 144Hz. Albeit not 240Hz, most of us weekend warriors will appreciate this frame rate provided your GPU can drive these frame rates during gaming. I was able to drive this monitor to peak using my 4090 and it looked pretty amazing in terms of frame rates, in my opinion. Brightness looked very good, and contrast ratio for an IPS was also very good. Setting the display settings to HDR and watching LG’s “The Black” on YouTube allowed me to enjoy the rich colors and details at 1440p HDR, with the small exception of black levels that can only be achieved from an OLED panel. But overall, it’s pretty darn good. – GOTCHAS – Documentation didn’t tell me the DP version; I found it looking at the OSD settings that allowed me to choose either 1.4 or 1.2, for compatibility concerns. As far as HDMI, researching the LG website yielded that these are HDMI 2.1 ports. As far as frame rates, if you're coming up from a 144Hz, you may want to stick it out at that refresh rate or jump to 240Hz as you may not see a lot of improvement coming up to 180. – CONCLUSION – The LG UltraGear 27” (Model #27GS75Q-B) is a very capable monitor, provided you have hardware to drive it to its max. At 180Hz, you will notice reduced motion blur and screen tearing for a smoother gaming experience, improved responsiveness and reduced input lag, and enhanced visual clarity and detail, especially in games with fast-moving objects or scenes. There is a lot of value in this monitor with respect to other monitors that may be similarly priced but are at lower refresh rates, so take the time to find out what’s more important to you if frame rates aren’t #1 on your list.

Let’s get this out of the way, the only thing I regret after using this monitor is possible going up in size. The screen is so crisp, and the colors look really good. If you are looking for a gaming monitor, or just a good overall monitor that happens to work well with games; then this is the monitor for you. Ok, so what makes this monitor special? Let’s begin with the fact that it has a refresh rate of 180Hz and a response time of 1ms. Combine that with the HDR, 2560x1440, and impressive color accuracy; that gives you a quality monitor that can tackle whatever you toss at it. No matter what game I have tried running on it, it’s smooth and crisp. I’ve been playing Fortnite on here with my sons, and the motion looks very crispy. We also played a few rounds of CoD, Apex Legends, Minecraft, and some Forza. Everything looked very good, and the motion was super smooth. I played the new BM:W when it released and it also looked very nice. It’s great that it also supports G-Sync and AMD Freesync. I have been using this with my 2024 ASUS G16 laptop and the G-Sync has been a nice feature to keep everything looking good. Initially I was going to use this on a monitor stand that is built into the desk, but the stand this comes with is so much more robust. Honestly, the stand was a nice surprise. You can choose what height you want, as well as the perfect angle for you. A big plus is all of this is easily adjusted with minimal effort. This is a great monitor, and honestly the 27” size is very good, especially with how close I sit to it at my desk. Refresh rate is great, colors are great, response time and resolution are also top tier. This is an easy recommendation for any gamers, or someone shopping for that gamer in their family.

Straight up this monitor is the pinnacle of exactly what you should get in a QHD 27” led backlit IPS display. LG is always at the cutting edge of display tech and even sells panels to other manufacturers to use so it’s no surprise that this is exactly what youd expect, perfection at an affordable price. There is 3 inputs on this 2 HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort which is perfect with auto input switching. There is also an audio jack if you use that. If your new to monitors there is always a sweet spot where pixel density is too low versus size and thankfully this is the “ideal” at 27” size and QHD resolution it allows you to run your resolution at 100% so no scaling issues for Mac users or lag for windows users. It has special overclocking modes for Nvidia GPUs above 30 series you can go up to 200hz and extend the adaptive refresh to meet your system which is great. Speaking of lag this has genuine 1ms response time and barely any ghosting even when overclocked which is really great to see it doesnt become a blurry mess. The stand is the classic LG style where it leaves plenty of room on the desk for anything and includes excellent cable management options to hide everything. 
The user menu interface on this is easily the best out there. If you come from other brands you may know the struggles of those and the pain that it becomes navigating them. This one just has everything exactly where youd think it should be and is extremely intuitive with the joystick on the center bottom right where youd expect it. Perfect! Honestly it just doesn’t get any better value for an IPS panel monitor today this is the top dog in the QHD 27” IPS bracket and I fully recommend this over any others out there.

This is easily the best monitor I’ve owned. The frame rate is great, the color and picture quality is excellent, and the features it has makes it a no brainer. I’ve had many different brand monitors and styles, and this one for the price is no doubt the best. I use it for pc games and run my ps5 on it as well and looks amazing. It does work great for ps5 for 120 fps and hdr looks incredible

It's a great bang for your buck monitor. Even though the peak brightness is 300nits, (I believe in HDR Mode) the picture quality is great. It's clean and the pixels don't stand out like a sore thumb. 200hz is definitely a bonus if you want smooth gameplay. The only thing that the monitor needs is a local dimming feature. There is no backlight bleed but the ips glow could have been mitigated.

Now I wouldn’t necessarily call this a cheap monitor, however relative to other monitors, especially on sale, this is a great monitor that doesn’t break the bank. I have a 50 inch 4k tv that I like to casually game on, but I wanted something that I could also hook my consoles up to that can handle 120hz at 1440p, and this fits those needs perfectly. If you plan on playing without a headset, you will need speakers, and if you want 120hz then you’ll need a 2.1 ultra high speed HDMI cable as well, 2.0 doesn’t support that. It also had some really strange flickering out of the box, but I changed some settings and it went away. I’m not entirely sure which one was causing it, but there was some sort of dynamic brightness setting that I imagine was the culprit. I’ve been using it quite a lot for the week I’ve had it, and I really have no complaints. Is it the best monitor in the world? No, but for $250 (what I bought it for) I’d recommend it to anyone. If you have the means to get a 4k 240hz monitor for your juiced up PC, absolutely go do that. If you’re just looking for a monitor that allows you to do 120hz on your PS5 and Xbox without spending more on the screen than you did on the console, this is the monitor for you.
