Upgrade in size from my 23.8 inch Asus IPS monitor. Upgrade is a relative term as this is a VA and therefore many consider a poorer quality display. Overall I can’t complain much. I accept the color and brightness changes of the VA as the extra 3ish inches in monitor size makes up for it. Monitor has a wealth of settings to play with to help you get to your ideal picture and adjust free sync, motion blur, refresh rate, etc. Overall a great monitor for gaming on a console or for younger gamers, but if you’re into next gen visuals or competitive gaming or using a powerful computer then this is NOT the right choice for you. You should go look for a 4K 244hz monitor and make sure you’re getting >1ms response times.

1080p 165hz refresh rate. 1MS response time. Bought for an 11 yr old into gaming on ps5 playing fortnite. Perfect for his needs. No driver updates available on LGs site though which is weird it uses stock generic windows display drivers. Colors and blacks are deep. Nits of whites are solid. No ghosting, no frame tearing, built in speakers 3.5mm jack out for external speakers.

Its not a bad monitor, for 120 its actually very impressive, however this isnt the end all be all. Doesnt have 4k or hdr and the fps only hits 144. If those things dont matter its a great purchase

The clarity of the picture is outstanding. The only reason I didn't rate it as five star as I would have preferred the monitors to have been height adjustable.

Title: An Epic Gaming Experience - LG UltraGear 27GQ50F-B Monitor Review
I recently got my hands on the LG UltraGear 27GQ50F-B gaming monitor, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my gaming setup. This monitor is specifically designed with gamers in mind, and it shows in every aspect of its performance.
First and foremost, the 27-inch Full HD display is a sight to behold. The lifelike graphics and virtually borderless screen add an immersive dimension to my gaming experience. It's no wonder it was the #1 gaming-designed monitor in the U.S. in 2021.
But what really sets this monitor apart is its impressive 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms Motion Blur Reduction. These features ensure that I stay locked onto my targets with crystal-clear clarity and virtually no lag. The 1ms Motion Blur Reduction has been a game-changer for me, as it delivers smoother motion and reduces any hint of lag, allowing me to react to in-game movements with lightning speed.
The inclusion of AMD FreeSync Premium is another major win. It guarantees fluid and virtually tear-free gaming. With a minimum 120Hz refresh rate at Full HD resolution, coupled with low latency gameplay, I never miss a frame of the action, and I can consistently play at my peak performance level.
The monitor also comes with handy features like OnScreen Control, which lets me customize my workspace effortlessly, and the Gaming UI, which allows me to optimize settings for a tailored gaming experience.
The 3-side virtually borderless design keeps me fully immersed in the action, enhancing the overall gaming ambiance.
In terms of specifications, the 165Hz refresh rate ensures that I experience buttery-smooth gameplay, and the maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 delivers sharp and detailed images. The 5ms response time is fast enough for my gaming needs, and the VA panel technology strikes a great balance between response time and image quality. Plus, the FreeSync Premium technology keeps everything in sync, ensuring a seamless gaming experience.
In conclusion, the LG UltraGear 27GQ50F-B gaming monitor is a true gem for any gamer. It combines stunning visuals, impressive performance, and a suite of gamer-friendly features to deliver an exceptional gaming experience. If you're looking to take your gaming setup to the next level, this monitor should be at the top of your list. Happy gaming!

Great gaming and video editing monitor. I have had mine for several weeks now and have put them through the ringer. I bought two and game on both. I use a dual monitor setup for editing video and I PC game on one and PS5 game on the other. Excellent and crisp pictures all the time. I love the 3.5mm headset jack in the back and the multiple HDMI connections. The size is perfect for gaming at the table. Feels like a big screen without it being an actual big screen. Love these monitors.
