I was looking to get into a 1440p monitor and had been waiting for sales on a quality brand. When this went on sale I had a gift card I was able to use to cover 95% of the cost. It makes a HUGE difference over my previous 1080p monitor. It's not that the monitor I had before was bad but the color, sharpness, and HDR quality is way better on this LG. When fine-tuning this monitor with the AMD adrenaline softw the colors aren't over saturated but they are also not washed out. BF6 looks amazing on it. As do my emulated games. The hunter call of the wild is another title that looks just awesome on this LG. The high detail of the world in Call of the wild really popps with this monitor.

Excellent Moderately Priced 200Hz Gaming Monitor

The LG UltraGear 27" IPS (In-Plane Switching) QHD (Quad HD) 2560 x1440 pixels, 200Hz Refresh Rate, with low-ghosting, reduced blur 1ms gray to gray response time Gaming Monitor Model 27G610A-B presents a clear, vibrant picture with 400 nit / candela to square meter brightness, 1000:1 (brightest white to darkest black) contrast with 8 to 10 bit color offering 1.07 billion total colors and 1,024 shades per channel provide smooth color gradients and less banding with a wide 99% sRGB (Standard RGB) accurate color coverage / gamut. This monitor supports HDR 10, which is the most common High Dynamic Range video standard used by 4K Blu-rays and HDR TV and streaming services.
In order to achieve the best specifications for the 27G610A-B, you must have a higher end graphic card that can push this monitor to its best. I am using an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU. When using the DisplayPort cable supplied with the monitor the Refresh Rate meets the full 200Hz. If I were to use an HDMI 2.1 cable instead, then my Refresh Rate would only run at 144Hz. The equipment matters.
LG has added numerous other features that enhance what may seem to some as basic gaming monitor. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium which eliminates screen tearing and stuttering. They also employ LG Dynamic Action Sync that reduces frame buffering increasing responsiveness and minimizing input lag. There is also a Black Stabilizer that brightens dark screens. LG has also added a Crosshair for increased shooting accuracy and an on-screen Frame Per Second counter.
The narrow bezel LG 27G610A-B IPS model has a 178 degree viewing angle both vertically and horizontally. It has (1) 1.4 DisplayPort, and (2) 2.1 HDMI ports (HDMI cables are not included) to which multiple devices can be attached simultaneously. It also has a Headphone Jack.
Game play on this monitor is smooth and beautiful, after proper setup and tweaking. Make sure to download the complete User Manual from the LG site. Regular apps and streaming look fantastic. This is another finely designed and built product from LG. I don't think anyone but the most finicky will find anything lacking for their gameplay, especially at this pricepoint.
I would highly suggest this LG UltraGear 27" Model 27G610A-B for my friends and family.

Entry Level, LG Quality

While this LG UltraGear 27” Gaming Monitor is a basic, an essentially entry-level gaming monitor, it does the job. Visuals are rich; colors true-to-life. The 27” size screen is adequate for my own personal needs, and fits nicely on my desk setup.
Overall, this monitor is well made; the stand being especially sturdy. It was easy to setup, too. There is a cord management ‘hole’ on the stand, which is quite handy as a gaming setup can get cluttered with cables, even with all the wireless peripherals and accessories gamers have available to them.
This monitor’s screen surface itself appears ‘matte like,’ and in my opinion, doesn’t look as good as more ‘shiny looking’ screen surfaces. However, this type of appearance does cut down on visible glare, especially true if you have RGB lights or a lighted streaming setup on or around your desk.
The 27” screen size somehow seems larger than it actually is, and during gameplay it provides a wonderful view of the in-game environment. This UltraGear monitor is highly adjustable. While in ‘landscape position’ the stand can move up and down, swivel side to side, tilt forward and back, and then can also be turned to a vertical position.
Basically this monitor is simply “plug and play,” although an HDMI cable is not included. While there are display settings available via the monitor itself, you may need to go into your computer’s Display Settings to adjust the screen resolution, as I did, since the maximum resolution for this monitor is 2560x1400. There is an LG Switch App you can download from LG.com for more display customizations, but it’s not absolutely necessary and the monitor works without having that app.
Overall, my impressions are favorable. So far I’m pleased with how this monitor performs. I did notice the fast refresh rate and low latency response during my gameplay sessions. This monitor fits my basic needs, just fine. Though for those seeking a ‘higher-end’ gaming monitor experience, you’re going to want to invest a bit more cost. This model LG UltraGear 27” Gaming Monitor is definitely “entry level.” But for its price point, it’s a good one.

Good monitor for the price. Couldn’t find too many with the same specs at the $200 range. Have not had any issues. Only thing is the display port area is very narrow, so if I want to remove the display port cable that I use, I have to press and pull on the cable but there’s only a small amount of room so I have to use something to press down on the cable. Not too big of a deal though.

Good overall monitor with a great stand

They give you a free monitor with every stand. As others have mentioned, the stand is something else. Easy to put together and you can position the monitor easily including portrait mode. I hope the action stays that way with time.
The monitor is good and gets bright which is what I'm looking for. I use 27 inch 4K monitors as my daily drivers but run them at 1440 so I figured I would get one at native resolution. I'm happy with it. I'm not a gamer so I don't have an opinion on the 200 Hz capability. Just note this spec is only on the DP port. On the HDMI ports you will get 60 Hz.
The only other port is for headsets. The plug is also the power brick.
I got it at a nice holiday price and overall, I like it.

LG IPS 200 Hz monitor

Under $200 for a 200 Hz refresh rate and IPS seems to be working out well. No issues playing battlefield six no ghosting issues or anything that might cause an issue. Only critique I would have is the button on the monitor to get through the menu is a little funky takes a little bit to get used to it, but luckily I won’t be needing to get into that very often after an initial set up.

This was an upgrade from 1080p. I have an RTX 5070 Ti and this does perfect for it. Setting with VSync and at 200hz is nice. Some games I set unlocked. I tried FH 5 with unlocked and got around 300 fps. I had a RX 7800 XT before the Nvidia card, and the 7800 XT was averaging around 160 fps. So, this Nvidia card is nice upgrade too. Almost doubled fps. This is with an ASUS Prebuilt gaming pc with a AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d processor. So, this monitor is perfect for the pc.

I got this on a really good promotion it was $169, and I found a open box for $145. If you play FPS I would highly recommend this monitor, I was on a LG ultra wide 165hz and as soon I start playing I could feel the difference, if you are always looking to improve your performance on games like I do for for it.

This is definitely a budget monitor. It is not bad and for gaming it's pretty decent. My only issue with this monitor is the colors and whatever film screens LG uses on the screen. At 27" and 1440p, I would expect more crisp images and text, but that wasn't the case. If you are using it for only gaming, this thing is great. Very high refresh rate and the HDR on this thing allows it to get very bright. The colors take a bit of time to adjust out of the box.
The stand on it is amazing.
Great gaming monitor
Not so great productivity monitor.

Using this for my nephew’s PC build. For what you pay, this can’t be beat. HDR is average, but at this price point that’s expected. Zero light bleed around the edges, which can be an issue for budget monitors. Image quality and colors are amazing. In the 200 MHz refresh rate is awesome, especially if you have a video card that can take advantage the FPS!

Good 27” QHD gaming monitor with smooth refresh and solid color accuracy.
Easy to set up and works reliably with console and laptop via HDMI, unlike some higher-priced models that had HDMI compatibility issues with my MSI laptop.

Fantastic display with 1ms response time. Base is a little large so be aware of that. Amazing deal if you can get this monitor while its on sale. Having internal speakers built in is also an added bonus
