Customer Ratings & Reviews

DO NOT BUY This monitor met the spec advertising, HOWEVER, I had this monitor for less than 2 months and showed red vertical lines and would randomly go static, and soon after would completely shut down. You do have 12 months of Factory Warranty with LG DO KEEP IN MIND they will not replace your monitor if it is considered not repairable, they will send it back as is.

Developed some kind of bleed line between two segments of the screen. This is a second monitor and is rarely used so, of course it was just out of warranty when I noticed it. Checking with the manufacturer, they do not offer any kind of out of warranty service, so my only option is to replace it. I will not be purchasing any LG monitors in the future. I do not wish to contribute to E-Waste.

The unit was great … for one month. Then all I saw were red and white vertical lines. The issue began while in the middle of game play. Incredibly frustrating. Still waiting for LG to either refund me or send a new unit as well. Stay away from LG gaming monitors.

When i got home from the store, the corner was chipped so i had to bring it back and exhange it. The replacement monitor died after a month. Was working fine the night before, then nothing but vertical lines.

1 month in and the monitor no longer works properly. Now I have to go through LG warranty and won't have a monitor for about two weeks. LG service isn't that responsive as well. They want me to send it in for repair. Pretty much I'll end up with a refurbed monitor for $300 and not have a monitor for 2 weeks. I'll change the review if they'll actually refund or send me a new monitor.

The monitor arrived with a manufacture defect. The package is undamaged but after setting it up the screen immediately started flickering 'salt and pepper' lines horizontally down the screen. The display port wasn't even connected yet. I've owned 6 monitors, none of them LG, and I've never had a problem with manufacturing defects. It seems to be a common problem when I looking at other reviews for all the ultra gear monitors.

I tried to run HDMI to Display port with the PS5 and the monitor isn’t registering it. I’m getting an error code saying check DisplayPort settings and that it doesn’t match the device(PS5) settings. I wanted to run 120hz. Sucks that it doesn’t. I tried all the settings on the monitor and it didn’t work.

Monitor randomly died after 2 months of use not sure what happened gotta talk to lg to see of there is a warranty

I have been using it for just a month and Best Buy says i have to give it a review if i wanted to be considered for a 400 dollar bonus. It is working just fine. Subjectively, for what I use ( photography and 3D computer graphics / Unreal Engine purposes, it works fine, i have nothing to complain about. I wish it has mechanism to help it stand higher from the desk.

Very satisfactory display quality for a 1440p monitor at this price, using it as a 2nd monitor but have tried gaming on it and it works great! Only complaint is that the stand is non-adjustable height-wise, but if you can easily swap it to something else if you aren't as lazy as I am.

This is my first monitor of this kind with all these fancy features and specs. Though this is marketed as a gaming monitor, I intended to use this for creative/production purposes as well. The image is vibrant and sharp, which has worked splendidly for me. Although you might be better off investing in a monitor that features a higher resolution than this 2K/1440p display if you intend to use it for creativity and production, this monitor's HDR capability and screen size are something you should also consider. As for games, they look and run astonishingly well. Though you will get the most out of this monitor by hooking up your PC or PS5/Xbox Series console, Nintendo Switch games look great on it as well. You can plug in up to three devices, with the available DisplayPort and 2 X HDMI connections available, and you can customize the appearance for each through the display's settings. The monitor also comes with an 3.5mm audio output, but I've experienced poor sound quality when using it. You're better off plugging in headphones or speakers directly into your device, which is probably the intention anyway. The audio quality is a let-down, but not a deal-breaker. If you can afford it, this monitor is great if you're making the jump from 1080p 60hz for the first time. You'll notice the difference like night and day, and the colors pop out especially with the use of HDR. Highly recommend!

The GN800-b is supposedly similar to the GN850-b without the full adjustable stand and nano-ips screen tech. I wanted something to use with my laptop and something to replace my current monitor to play my new friend p to the s 5. That meant I ain’t gonna wait forever for the hdmi 2.1 monitors to be affordable, and something to play 120fps (1080p) and fake 4k 60hz without breaking the bank. After some research and current stock availability- this seemed to be the “decent middle ground” that I could invest for a few years and also if I really wanted to play 4k 120hz I will just upgrade my TV. Lots of fiddling around on the screen setting (too dark, too yellow at times, too cool etc etc) for different game types but I found a “decent middle ground”. I played netflix full screen and had some light adjustment flickering with the subtitle changes - don’t know what that’s about. But I won’t be watching anything too often anyways. I don’t have the glow corners or dead pixel even with mail man delivery so I guess I got a good panel lottery and ain’t too fussy about glow people shared as a big concern with ips panels. Anyways, I wouldn’t of bought it if it was $400... get it now will it’s on sale and $100 cheaper than the gn850-b.

The LG UltraGear 27" gaming monitor is an impressive piece of technology that caters to both casual and serious gamers. Its standout features include a QHD (2560x1440) resolution, providing sharp and detailed visuals that enhance the gaming experience. The monitor boasts a 144Hz refresh rate, which ensures smooth and fluid motion, crucial for fast-paced games. Additionally, it supports NVIDIA G-SYNC, reducing screen tearing and minimizing stutter for a more immersive experience.

A great monitor to run anything. I recently bought a laptop and constantly find myself splitting screens with my laptop to do homework. I will have Netflix running on my laptop and use this monitor to do my homework. It is a really nice display to use. My only complaint would be the one button that controls everything. I constantly fight trying to use it and to get what I want as it seems to follow no direction. Other than that I love using my PlayStation as it has amazing frames and display to use it for competitive play. It is a very good monitor for this price you can’t beat it fulfills everything you would need if you are a casual or competitive gamer on a smaller budget. There is not much to ask for more than what is already given.

Great monitor for the price (bought 2), they do have Nvidia G-Sync and AMD Freesync capability (they did autodetected my GPU) and fitted well in my 2 monitor stand, if you want a great monitor but you have limited budget, this one is the best option.

I love it so much. I game everyday had it for about going on a month and i love it. You reall can see the difference in gaminng qith 144hz. Thank you BEST BUY

This is my first 1440p monitor for gaming/unreal engine 5 development and let me tell you the jump from 1080p to 1440p is incredible. I have a LG TV and have always liked their products. For 1440p at 144hz the price is also really good. The display is crisp, clean, and responsive. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the stand. It comes with a screw on stand and it is just not very adjustable. I think the 165hz model comes with a better stand, I wish they would have put the same stand on this model. Regardless so far it has been a fantastic monitor and I very much recommend it.

Looks great! The refresh rate and visuals look as good as I think a monitor can look. There are probably higher refresh rates out there but this one is incredible for the price and I don't even know if I could tell a higher refresh rate and this one apart. Could use buttons or a remote to control display brightness and other features.

Awesome tv! The picture is so clear and easy to use. So glad we decided to buy it at such a great price!

The monitor was advertised as 1440p, but when I received it, I found out it can go up to 4k. Finding a Monitor that can do both 144hz and 4k is rare even if they cant be done at the same time. Having the option that I thought wasnt available id awsome would highly recommend yhe colors are amazing and the refreshrate feels so smooth.
