This monitor punches above it's class.

This monitor has an excellent review on YouTube. It definitely punches above its weight in the "entry-level gaming" monitors section. The reviewer on YouTube more than once said how surprised he was by the performance and clarity of the monitor. And now that I've had it myself for a bit, I completely agree.
The blacks are really black, even though it's not an OLED monitor, it does a great job of providing great contrast. Yes, it's a VA monitor, but that does not hold it back. The response times are smooth. My DisplayPort resolution is full 2K at 180hz. On HDMI, I could get 2K at 144hz.
The smoothness during my gaming is superb.
Please note that this is a monitor that is meant to be on a monitor arm. The stand that comes with it does not height adjust and the curved aspect of the monitor means you want to be looking at it dead on.
I highly recommend this monitor because it punches above it's class and price point.

I love this monitor, looks great and super smooth. Only one issue. I’ve owned it for 3 months (3 month mark 1 day after this review) and I already have a dead pixel. It’s not major, it’s just one but none the less it’s an annoyance. I’ve had an acer monitor since 2020 that I use as a second monitor now and that one hasn’t had any dead pixels after almost daily use since l.

The Monitor is great for entry level gaming and some office work. Screen and brightness looks absolutely great. For the price point it was the best deal.

First curved monitor experience; very cool

So this is a first time curved monitor owned and have had the LG brands of monitors and tvs. This is a gaming monitor which I’ll try with my PS5 at one point (currently using a 5k monitor for that), but I had the pleasure of connecting my ASUS Rog Ally (via HDMI) and my Mac computer (thru DP) and both looked stunning on this curved monitor. It’ll take some time with playing with the controls and settings. I also am using this as a second screen extending my workspace working from home. The number of ports is great for a monitor; but the high refresh rate advantage is by plugging into the DP port and I could switch over the rog ally to DP from HDMI. I have played some old school games like Max Payne and it’s great viewing on a curved screen. I have mounted this on my own VESA mount stand instead of the one it comes with.
Everything about this monitor is good yet with one exception; the type of plug which will take up another outlet or two using a power strip. I think it is a bit absurd if you ask me. It was a surprise really. But I think this is because it’s a power adapter in one. I really don’t know how to describe it but for my other gaming monitor it goes from 3 prong plug to a power box or something being plugged in via a two prong type, then from that box into the monitor via a circle dc plug. Maybe that is the convenience of this plug but prepare to get a short 3prong extension cord maybe if you’re plugging into a power strip. But if you have a wall plate your good.

The LG - UltraGear 27" QHD 180Hz 1ms AMD FreeSync Gaming Monitor with HDR 10 - black is the best gaming monitor I've ever used with its fast response time at 1ms when gaming is a crucial addition.
It is also curved giving more immersive gameplay, and a more enjoyable time. And even though its 27" its curved format takes up less space allowing more room on my desktop for other stuff.
The gameplay on this monitor is also incredibly smooth and sharp making every moment enjoyable.
Another great addition is the resolution (2560 x 1440) on this monitor is extremely sharp and crisp and having max performance when I'm gaming.
HDR mode was great in Adobe Lightroom and the total clarity easily outmatched all my other monitors.
Install was a piece of cake and shouldn't cause anyone any fuss. One thing I do wish, was some sort of way to adjust vertical height. However, it does come with alternative mounting holes so one can fix this by buying and adjustable monitor mount.
This monitor has definitely exceed my expectations in every way I would suggest this monitor to anyone who wants a monitor with max performance and high quality gaming.

The monitor lacks built-in speakers and has limited adjustability, but its sleek design and gaming features like Dynamic Action Sync and Black Stabilizer enhance the gaming experience. Overall, it's a solid choice for gamers seeking high performance and visual quality.

This monitor is great. It's my first monitor that I've purchased for my first gaming PC. The refresh rate and clarity are great. I was undecided if I wanted a curved monitor or a flat one but i must say I do like the slight curve this monitor has. The high refresh rate and good quality picture are great for the price.

My 1st gaming monitor (I play on an XBOX). I usually game on a 45” or 65” tv. This monitor handles both first person shooter & story games. It does not slow down or stutter when I am playing Diablo IV & the screen is full of action. The only drawback is when I use HDR it can only operate @ 60hz. Even without HDR the picture is still awesome

The screen size is perfect and I like the slight curve...The one feature that I am not as happy with is not being able to adjust the height. Otherwise a great overall purchase and price point is great for a curved screen.

I’ve had this for about a month and have loved every minute of it! The dual HDMI ports make it so easy to use with my setup. I have 1 monitor connected to my Mac mini and this one connected to both my Mac mini and PS5.

Great product, especially at the sub $200 price point. I would recommend waiting for a sale on the pick up however, as other brands offer similar quality when it's not on sale

I didn’t realize how much having a curved monitor would matter but boy does it ever. I use this for gaming and working from home. Everything is so crisp and clear. I’m contemplating buying a second.
