Now I know why they can't keep this monitor in stock. Out of the box calibration is great. If you purchase this monitor do yourself a favor and go to RTing.com use this link and under ( post calibration ) you'll see a download for their ICC profile calibration. There are videos all over Youtube how to do this and it's very simple to do. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gp83b-b. It's a great base to start from. After re calibrating the monitor with the ICC profile calibration and a little personal tweaking for personal preference this monitor it looks absolutely amazing. Some reviews I've read mention backlight bleed through issues. Either I got extremely lucky or LG fixed the issue because I have no noticeable bleed through issues at all. No dead pixels, uniform black throughout the screen. Monitor manufactured 4/21. HDMI limits you to 144 Hz. refresh rate which is more than sufficient. I have a Razer 14 with the RTX 3080 so unfortunately I'm limited to a single HDMI out. I highly modify and play GTA V. mostly and this monitor had definitely made it all the more immersive. I ordered this monitor a while back and had a time of shipping issue so I cancelled it. I'm glad I gave it a second try and this time no problems with shipping. I originally purchased this monitor at $449.99 and of course a day after the price dropped to $399.99. Best buy honored their Price Match Guarantee and refunded me the difference. My experience with Best Buy though out the years has always been excellent and I can't actually think of buying anywhere else unless it's for something they don't carry in stock.

I've been using this monitor as my main in a 2 monitor set up for over a year because of its picture quality, the IPS nanocell really makes for a much deeper color & blacks than my Acer predator w 240hz. Once you go 1440p you'll never go back! only caution I would throw with this monitor is that the stand is extremely bulky so you'll need a mount if you play keyboard and mouse

It’s great monitor for the price. I use mine for work and for playing PS5 games. Has amazing refresh rate, and HDR which really makes a difference in the video quality.
A con which I wish that this monitor did have is a USB C port, but there aren’t many monitors in the market at this time with it anyway.

BEST QHD Monitor

Excellent monitor, previously I had a Dell 27in 165hz QHD monitor, I sold my monitor and gaming pc with a GTX 1660S and bought a Samsung 1080p 240hz monitor and a PC with 3060ti and I had to return the monitor, once you go to QHD you dont want to go back to FHD. The Dell QHD is 499 and this monitor was 350 and thank god I got this one. Personally I like the 165hz QHD better than 1080p 240hz, not a huge difference in smoothnes but a big diference in visuals!! So I really Love this monitor :)

Excellent LCD Monitor for Gaming

This monitor provides a beautiful, vibrant picture for gaming or anything else. The included stand is pretty big, but I love it because it's height adjustable and super easy to install and use. There are three inputs on this monitor (1 DisplayPort, 2 HDMI) and that's great because it keeps me from having to switch cables between all my devices. Input switching is automatic based on which device is turned on, but if you need to switch manually or access settings, there is a little control pad at the bottom that's pretty easy to use (just tilt it the direction you want, and press in). There are extra gaming features like FPS counter and crosshairs, which I don't really use, but of course, beyond those, you get the key features like FreeSync, the low response time, and the high refresh rate. As for resolution, this is a 1440p monitor, which to most people is going to be a truly fantastic picture quality—4K monitors will be sharper, but to get similar levels of game performance at that higher resolution, you'll be spending a lot more money than you would with this one. This monitor does have a headphone jack, located above the power cable (a bit hard to reach). It gets the job done for headphones, though I found that it did not output very loud if you use it to plug in speakers, which is my only disappointment with this monitor. I will also say, it's an LCD monitor, so if you play dark games, you might notice light on the edges of the screen. You'll want to consider moving up to an OLED monitor for improvements in that area. Overall though, this is a fantastic LCD monitor that I love using.

Let me start by saying, I am no computer monitor expert. In fact, this is the first computer monitor I’ve owned that’s not a 1080p 60hz basic monitor 24” or less. That being said, I do have really nice TV’s including an OLED so I do know what a good picture should look like.
In my hunt, I’ve purchased and returned 4 monitors before this with 2 of them being 4k and two 1080p, so this is my first experience with 1440p. I have to say, at 27” 1440p is the perfect resolution. It doesn’t tax my GPU as much so I can hit 165fps on ultra settings (I have a 4090) no problem on almost any game. It’s bright, which is a big plus for me, though the HDR is nothing to write home about. The colors don’t feel washed out and with the high refresh rate, everything is butter smooth. There’s is what people call “IPS glow” on black screens, but it’s not noticeable 95% of the time. One note though, IPS glow is not light bleed. Light bleed is really annoying and can be noticeable most of the time, but this monitor doesn’t have noticeable light bleed. If you’re looking for a good gaming monitor under $400 (only get it if on sale under $400, I wouldn’t recommend it for more than that) then this one should work fine for you. If you looking for a monitor for movie/photo editing and watching 4k HDR content, then this probably isn’t going to work for you.

Awesome Product for the price! Sounds highly recommend! I’ve experienced no problems so far. I do use it heavily for editing & streaming (Final Cut, photoshop, obs studio, Streamlabs obs), as well as gaming (Xbox series S). 4K looks great, it handles 4k gaming pretty good not the greatest but still good. Other than that I’d definitely recommend.

1440p 165hz IPS panel gaming monitor

This is my first 1440p resolution with an IPS panel monitor. Coming from a 1080p monitor with a VA panel, I am truly stunned. The colors are vibrant and the refresh rate is great if your hardware can push that many frames. I don't plan to use gsync because I rarely play single player games. I tend to stare at my monitor all day because I work from home. I have yet to have eye strain although i do wear glasses with an antiglare coating.
I got lucky and caught this on sale and was an open box. The deal i got was the cherry on top. The reason for it being returned: residue, which i saw no trace of.
Overall, I am super satisfied and I plan to eventually replace another monitor with this same monitor, though I doubt I get lucky with the same deal again.

I had been running 1080p for the longest time. I just picked up this monitor and I cant help myself at how amazing this monitor is with 1440p. The quality is absolutely unreal, the color display and fluid movement of everything is just incredible. Im half tempted to sell my 240hz samsung monitor for another one of these for the heck of it. If youre looking at getting this monitor, dont think about it, just do it! 10/5 stars.

Perfect size for sitting at a desk, or if you want to sit a little farther away. Using for Xbox series X, and is basically able to do everything the Xbox is capable of; 1440p at 120 fps or 4k at 60fps. Bought it on sale.

This is the best monitor I ever owned! I love it so much I bought it as a gift to someone special to me. If you're looking to upgrade any of your monitors, I highly recommend this one for the jump. The settings are easy to navigate and set up. Colors are so rich, I've also enjoyed not only gaming but also watching anything on this monitor! (my phone camera does not do it justice)

This 2K computer monitor offers a visually stunning experience with its crisp 2560x1440 resolution. Colors are vibrant, and details are sharp, providing an immersive workspace or gaming environment. The 165Hz refresh rate ensures smooth motion, enhancing gameplay and reducing motion blur. The sleek design and thin bezels contribute to a modern aesthetic, though some may find the lack of ergonomic adjustments limiting. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking a high-resolution display with excellent performance.

I bought this as a companion to a Dell S2721DGF. I bought the Dell years ago for 299, it is now unavailable. I snagged this LG for 279 on sale. I would not pay 399 for it, though, that’s why 4 instead of 5 stars. I use a 3 monitor set up, 4K 27 MSI screen in the center, 2k 27’s on the sides, they are for watching videos, playing music, watching file progress meters and when I need more windows than my main monitor can display comfortably for my eyes. The LG is on the left in my image.
Good port selection, great color/text sharpness with only a few adjustments. VESA mounted, which was easy and no need for offsets, the stand it comes with is actually really nice, and just clicks into place on the back. No problems running at 165hz. The box was really nice, fancy graphics, good packaging of the monitor, plenty of cables included. An on screen display is downloadable to avoid using the joystick control. For the price I paid, 5*, for 399, 3.5-4*.

You will not regret this purchase. I’m using it with my series X and it’s absolutely incredible. The colors are so insane and put my 4K Vizio to absolute shame. If you can get your hands on one of these please do, LG is serious when they mean ultra gear

Fantastic monitor, love the rotating, and it handles 4k60 really nice. Love the customizability of color, contrast, etc. I'm thinking of buying a second one to replace my S3220DGF and also one for my girlfriend.
