This is almost the perfect monitor. 4k resolution means text and images are super crisp and the 144hz refresh rate makes motion appear super smooth and responsive. If only it were an OLED Panel it would be the perfect monitor.

The picture quality is exceptional along with the framerate paired with the PS5. It only took three different monitors for me to find one that works but ive only has this one for a couple of weeks so fingers crossed.

The 4K resolution looks great and the monitor has a beautiful design. My only complaint is the backlight bleed on darker games/movies.

Ive been looking for a monitor to get the best out of my ps5 and this is it! Has beautiful HDR and a slow response time! And gaming in 4k at 120hz is just brilliant!

Breaking down after 2 years :(

Not even 3 years into owning this monitor, it is already starting to die on me. Whenever I power it on, I get horizontal lines going across the bottom for a few minutes. Once the display warms up, they go away. Started happening a few months ago and the range of lines is slowly expanding. I loved this monitor but after LG told me they wouldn't replace or repair it, I will most likely steer clear of LG monitors going forward.

Hello there, HectorD. We understand your inquiry regarding the 27GP950-B.AUS monitor and the issue with horizontal lines appearing on your screen. This can sometimes be caused by a loose or faulty connection. We recommend disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, trying a different input source, or replacing the cable to see if that resolves the problem. LG Monitor - Troubleshooting Lines on the Screen - https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-monitor-troubleshooting-lines-on-the-screen--20153186572241 For further assistance, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport and we’ll be happy to help. —Renzo

This monitor is great quality and the performance for both watching and gaming is something I appreciate a lot. It has improved both my enjoyment and skill.
For the price points though I feel there are some
aspects that are lacking and It disappoints me a little bit. One is that the corners of
the monitor are over bright when using UHD and it hinders the visuals a bit. Also there is no sound system and for this price, I wish a small sound system could have been included

The display is wonderful and 27" setups are pretty adequate for PC gaming in 4K. The major drawback isn't the display itself but Windows HDR that can be extremely painful to deal with. Be prepared to keep switching through the presets and toggling through various HDR settings in games. Another drawbsck with PCs in general is the lack of streaming multimedia content in 4K HDR so if you expect to use this strictly for watching movies and shows, you're better off buying something else.

Backlight bleed, Defective DisplayPort, Wake issue

I had spent a week trying to get this monitor to work with the LG lighting and OSC software on Windows, and somehow it refuses to detect the monitor at all running several different DisplayPort 1.4 cables. Only HDMI2.1 ended up working, but limits it down to 120Hz, and that means I can't use my HDMI soundbar.
Another issue is the bad backlight bleed on all four corners in dark scenes, most noticeably in the top right corner. I think is because of the cheap build quality of the monitor.
One last issue is that it refuses to play well with multiple monitors setup. Whenever it wakes up from sleep, only my other two monitors are running and not this one, until I unplug and plug it back in. This is a known issue apparently if you search online.
I really want to love the monitor. The colors are vibrant and beautiful when it works, but it is unacceptable with dark colors bleed, and the software/displayport issues. Since LG only has 1 year warranty on their monitors compared to 3 year warranty from Dell, Acer, etc. I feel like it's going to break so early on top of all of the issues I have for this expensive $1000 (with tax) monitor.

Best 4K High Refresh Rate Monitor On The Market.

This monitor doesn't need an in-depth review. If you have the power to run 4K high refresh rate gaming with your computer or have a next-gen console this will give you the best non-HDR experience money can buy. That being said in order to have a real HDR experience you're better off buying a high-end TV.

I use it with my 4K security cameras and my PS5...great picture.
It didn't come with many instructions, but they are onscreen so it wasn't a problem.
I would definitely buy again or recommend this monitor.

I was searching for a monitor since the launch of the new generation of game consoles. I kept hearing that the LG C1 or cCX were the top dogs because of the quality oled displays and of course hdmi 2.1. But afraid of burn in and i wanted to have a display that matched the same size of my other monitor I went this direction. I kept reading about this particular set and that it has 600 nits with hdr and hdmi 2.1 . So I jumped all over this when i got a alert that it was back in stock. Im still tweeking and trying different settings . You also change the rgb colors on the back of the monitor . This is a great buy and price is fair
