Pros:
- Fantastic colours
- Decent response time (especially good for fast-paced gaming)

Cons:
- IPS glow may be noticeable on some panels
- Competitors have better stands

This is generally a great all-round monitor. It excels at gaming. I came from the Acer Predator XB271HUA (TN model) and have to say this definitely has superior colours and gradient handling compared to that monitor. It's close to the same response time performance, maybe a tad slower (evidence by slight motion blur compared to the TN). Most people wouldn't notice it at all.

It's close to the same response time performance, maybe a tad slower (evidence by slight motion blur compared to the TN). Most people wouldn't notice it at all.

The main downside for me is that it is not immune to "IPS glow". I can notice it in my panel, particularly in the lower-left corner in very dark scenes. It seems it pretty common for this panel. Some people have it worse and others better. So it's luck of the draw. However, it doesn't bother me/I don't notice it 99% of the time it doesn't lose a star from me.

A near flawless monitor, however LG's marketing is kinda shady. They advertise support for HDR and while this is true, the industry standard of HDR-10 utilises a standard maximum brightness of 1,000 nits. This monitor is only rated for a maximum of 350 nits. When testing a game like Ratchet and Clank on the PS4 pro, some scenes like cityscapes look amazing, however if you look at the sun directly it won't feel "bright enough". Also in some very dark scenes if there is a lot of artificial light it can look very saturated. If you're not happy with the HDR it's best to turn it off. Other than that this is a fantastic monitor for the price. 27...view more A near flawless monitor, however LG's marketing is kinda shady.

This monitor is awesome, does everything I expected. All Pros at this point. G-Sync and 144hz gives me a smooth gaming experience and makes BF5 look awesome.

This monitor is pretty much everything I hoped it would be. Great colour (96% of adobe RGB), view angles, even brightness. 144Mhz + G-sync and freesync support for smooth gaming with no tearing. "Onscreen control" software for modifying monitor settings and updating firmware from your desktop is nice too. If you're looking at this monitor you've probably already read enough reviews to know how good it is anyway. This monitor is pretty much everything I hoped it would be.

Ran on my Xbox for 4 months via HDMI while I built my PC, lasted a few hours on my PC running high refresh rate with G-sync via display port before completely failing and the screen turning green. Almost a month now without a monitor as I wait for a new main board to be installed.... Monitor itself looked nice and worked well on the Xbox and also for the limited time it ran on G-sync with the PC, was the most expensive part of my PC build and was the first thing to fail so pretty disappointing. Only other things to note is the monitor mount feels cheap and flimsy and the LCD panel does not sit flush with the bezel and kinda bows out slightly...view more Ran on my Xbox for 4 months via HDMI while I built my PC, lasted a few hours on my PC running high refresh rate with G-sync via display port before completely failing and the screen turning green.

This monltor has an very fast response time, almost no ghosting visible at all. Use the "Fast" response setting for best results, as "Faster" introduces artifacts to motion. Colours are quite vibrant, almost over-saturated by default, so some tweaking of settings is required. QHD resolution is absolutely amazing for a 27 inch monitor, I would not recommend FHD for anything over 24 inches. The contrast ratio is quite poor, and there is some IPS glow in the bottom left but it doesn't affect the experience much except in dark scenes. Definitely recommend this monitor if you're after QHD 144Hz. This monltor has an very fast response time, almost no ghosting visible at all.

Love this monitor, came from a VG248QE, I had tried other TN panels and was bothered by the ghosting that they had. This monitor is very fast and the motion is smooth, G-SYNC works well out of the box (No G-SYNC module but has been tested by NVIDIA and is compatible).

The colors are great out of box and better after calibration, tested some games that have very high speed movement to see if I could notice ghosting and couldn't see any even if I looked super hard.

Best (and most expensive) monitor I've ever owned, note that it's G-Sync "Compatible" but I've had better results keeping the G-Sync off (which is the default setting in NVCP).

The best panel one could buy for the budget. Super smooth & sharp.
The colours are simply amazing.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a gaming or a generally well-rounded screen.

Light bleeding, as reported on several reviews, is non-existent. The best panel one could buy for the budget. Super smooth & sharp.

After purchase I discovered the screen had a dead pixel. I boxed it back up and returned it to PB Tech Albany who checked it and replaced it straight away. The replacement is perfect.
