Works great games look really good never had any issues

I’ve never had a monitor that looks this crisp and the refresh rate is amazing!!

Best purchase that i made. I really love the monitor. Perfect size and color calibration.

This was a much needed upgrade for me. The monitor arrived really fast and FedEx did a good job delivering it. I am so far pleased and haven’t owned it long enough to speak on it long term.

Works wonderfully and without issue. The upgrade from a 75Hz 1080p display to this one has been very noticeable.

Nice monitor overall but a bit more collocated to use and not the most instructions for this one even online I felt.

Amazing monitor. Definitely an upgrade from my old one

Monitors great the quality is amazing definitely recommend

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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

Amazing Gaming Monitor Pairs well with The Ps5 Lets Go!

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

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.

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

I was going to give this item 4 stars, but I got it for $165 or something similar. If you can get it for that price too, I highly recommend it. It does exactly what it says in the item description. Having Freesync and G-sync is a good feature. Reasonably high refresh rate. Pretty good latency. Having HDR10 is great. Let's just compare this to an OLED monitor. Refresh rate is up in the air, so I am not sure how to compare the two. It is comparable to some OLEDs, not sure what to say. The response time is what, 80% of the performance of an OLED? At 30% of the price. Utilizing HDR10 makes colors better. Probably at least 60% of the performance of an OLED, again at 30% of the price. Overall a good pick. I would not pay more than $200 for this product though.
