Thanks for watching and commenting your questions! Let me know what else I should review - I’ll make a review video on the most “liked” suggestion below.
Edgar Ordonez it’s a solid purchase at that price point for sure. 240hz on a reputable brand for $250 is a no-brainer buy. Where are you seeing it for $250?
Bought mine for $285 from Micro Center. Works perfectly with my 2060 Super. Able to hold a solid 240 fps with most games. I too enjoy the Cross Hair overlay feature. Nvidia Control Panel on PC picked up the monitor and was able to set the Hz settings through the PC. Personal opinions/advise: If you are a gamer: Choose Hz over Resolution, 1080p on a 27" screen is more than enough to be ultra clear and to say otherwise is laughable, I do not play competitively but 240 fps isn't noticeable at first, but after playing on 240 for a while and then lowering it to sub 175 you will notice it very clearly (at least I do now). Do not buy the alternative LG 27GL83A-B 1440p 140hz monitor. 1440p resolution is completely overkill for 27" and you'd be sacrificing the one thing that can give you an advantage in gaming, the 240Hz. The higher FPS are worth it once you experience it for a while. My only complaint that I have is that the screen doesn't dim as dark as I would hope, stays kinda bright even at lowest setting. Also, I wish the legs on the stand weren't so long, maybe an inch shorter would have been nice.
MY first impression is that the name is WAY too long! 😂 Dude..great review! RUclips tip: put the website links in in the description (from the manufacturer AND maybe some Amazon affiliate links)... And type in captions. The Google bots and RUclips Algorithms will LOVE it... Helps increase your SEO 🤷♂️👍
@@TrentonMichael Thanks for the reply. Not sure regarding suggestions, I'm getting this monitor so it was relevant to me. Hmm, not sure, what hardware are you planning on reviewing next? I'm looking for a gaming mousemat and a gaming mouse to go with it, plus a keyboard (TFUE's is super nice).
I’m trying to. Problem is is that I work in production on 12hr days so there’s very little time to recoup and play. I’ll do my best to keep ‘em coming though. Thank you for your words! :)
great video. Thanks for mentioning its a TN, and yes i have one too. Color is a bit washed out. 27" for a 1080p definitely looks pixelated. Too bad , LG didn't make a 24" version.
king romi I would go with the Alienware 25. However, Pixio has launch a new 240hz monitor that may fall in a lower price range. GSYNC is NOT important if your PC is outputting the same or more frames than the refresh rate of your monitor.
Ugur Sunlu thanks, Ugur! Before the GSYNC option will appear in the NVidia control panel, you’ll need to enable Freesync from the monitor interface. The NVidia software will then detect that in the signal from the monitor and you should then see the GSYNC option appear in the NVidia control panel.
@@TrentonMichael Also, weird stuff happens when i try to activate freesync through DisplayPort. When i activate it i can't see the mouse pointer and my desktop icons thats why i use the 1ms blur reduction thingy
Picked it up on sale today for $250. Do you happen to know what hz output is on the HDMI port? Is it 60hz or higher? Lastly, is the 240hz out of the box? No need for any weird monitor overclocking?
OverlookeDEnT from what I remember reading, the HDMI 2.0 port should support it. However, the spec sheet on LG’s site only shows 240hz next to DisplayPort but does not list any refresh rates for HDMI 2.0. You using it with PC or console? And yes, 240hz out of the box. I just had to set my PC to display 240hz in the NVidia software. I am using DisplayPort, too.
@@TrentonMichael PC. Awesome! I'll be using the freesync since I just ordered a Vega RX 64. Making the switch from Nvidia to AMD due to the horribly high tax on G-sync. Thanks!
OverlookeDEnT Nice! I’d love to hear back on your first day experience with that Vega 64 and FreeSync. I just can’t bring myself to pay $500+ for a G-Sync monitor when FreeSync can be found for almost half the cost.
@@TrentonMichael Trenton Davis so I bought it, got it and I love it. However, when there is a pitch dark image on the screen there is almost this whiteness to it. Do you have the same issue? I'm not talking about edge backlight bleed. It does have a little back light on the bottom right but coming from an IPS panel that doesn't bother me. It's this weird glow...
OverlookeDEnT yeah, it’s sort of a weird wrinkled-napkin-effect of a light pattern when the screen is completely black, right? I do have that on mine but just I just attribute it to the TN panel. Give it a week and you’ll probably be able to overlook it completely
Finally someone with 240 hz and fortnite! Im thinking of getting the alienware, but im on a REALLY good dell 1440p 144hz. Have u played 144hz before?? I think the jump to 240 is actually noticable right? i know ill lose sharpness but a less blurry image in fast close range fights might be better
Rich Burmond I’m about 95% sure that I can see a difference between 165hz and 240hz. I went with 240 on a 1080p screen because my PC is capable of putting out over 240 frames so I figured I may as well! And yes! I am able to easily headshot noobs in close range fights.
ravencore777 This is the first time I’ve heard about this GSYNC compatibility. I am researching it now and will test it as soon as I can. I’ll let you know how it plays out. Thanks for the update!
ravencore777 you’ll be pleased to hear that it seems to be working! NVidia control panel enables GSYNC with the LG monitor, and I don’t see any tearing in Blackops at all. I even disabled GSYNC mid-game to test it...and tearing returned! I’ll continue testing it more tomorrow. Wild stuff! I’m glad it works now.
@@TrentonMichael I will hahaha,I am barely 14 but i am to bored playing at my house with my laptop and doing nothing,Have to get a job since i want for my 15th bday a gaming pc that i will build,i've been for pc's since i was like 12
Guilherme definitely go with the AW218. The LG is great for its price but the Alienware is far better suited at these specs and in a 25” panel instead of LGs 27”.
Oh! I did have one more question. Do you know if freesync/gsync works well in borderless full screen? Unfortunately, freesync with AMD gpu only works in full screen so I was wondering if using an Nvidia gpu allows for that to be bypassed and if it actually works well with a freesync monitor?
OverlookeDEnT I’ve only used it on full screen but the GSYNC compatibility give you the option to run in full screen or windowed. I can try windowed tonight and get back with you.
@@TrentonMichael awesome! I think I'm sending my Vega 64 back and trying something on the nvidia side again then. Thanks for looking into it! I'm just hoping there is no flickering on lower framerates since I play games like Escape From Tarkov where games dip very low on even great rigs.
Hey, buddy - I would say the Alienware is better than this one overall. I had firsthand experience with it during all major Fortnite events and the World Cup last year and it was great to play on. I don’t have any experience with the BenQ so I can’t comment on that one.
@@TrentonMichael Really? That's awesome! I went all in on the monitor and a Vega 64 so I'm a bit stuck now but it's great to hear it's working. I may try to sell the vega and try to go gtx 1080 in the near future. I just like Nvidia better (software and such).
Awesome video. I keep second guessing this monitor telling myself theres a better option. Are the colors really that limited? I wanna dual mount and I'm just finding a monitor for gaming and the other for productivity. Would this be a good option for gaming?
Amazon has this monitor for $300 (after shipping) but I've noticed that BeachCamera had two more open box specials for $200 this past weekend. Those are, unfortunately sold now, but it's the second time in less than a month that they've had those open box specials in stock. For $200, it's an absolute no-brainer of a deal, and I'd definitely purchase this monitor for gaming if I were you. As for colors, they aren''t limited to me...at least for a TN panel. I haven't noticed any obvious banding either. As for IPS panel comparison, I have my LG 27UD68 4k IPS monitor sitting next to the LG 27gk750, and the 27UD68 is definitely richer in color, vibrancy, and contrast...but looking back at the 27GK750 doesn't make me dislike what I see...it just seems like the contrast is knocked down a bit and maybe just slightly desaturated when compared to the IPS panel next to it.
Aptenodytes for $280, I'd go for it. The other option is the AW2518HF for around the same price, and I probably would have gone with that one if I didn't already have a 27" LG 4K that it pairs so nicely next to.
Does the refresh rate change automatically to amount of frames your PC is producing? Because on Xbox in the top of the setting area it sais 60hz I stead of 240hz but the Xbox only handles 60hz so will it change on a PC to 240 or is it a 60hz version?
I still feel this monitor is worth it. However, if you can pick up the Alienware 25 for around the same price, I’d go with that one for it’s smaller screen. 1080 just looks better around 24-25”.
@@TrentonMichael I'm already using a 27 inch 1080 screen so it should be okay for me...however we are picking up that Alienware for my son who is very excited. Thanks!
Look guys... I have gtx 750 ti graphic card... With hdmi 1.4 dvi-d dual link and VGA adapter... The monitor have hdmi 2.0 port and displayport 1.4...what cable i must connect those two? (i future i Will upgrade the graphic card to 1660 ti)
Steven Nguyen I’m not completely sure what the range is but I’ve seen it work all the way up to 240hz. Maybe I am misunderstanding the question though.
D: yeah! I actually just noticed that they put two more $200 specials up on their site earlier last week. I had almost given up, and figured I would just have to drop $350-400 for the cheapest 240hz monitor I could find...until I noticed the used section on Amazon linked to Beach Camera's steal of a deal.
As you know that how much sweats are there in season x fortnite so I was planning to buy this monitor but I wanna know if there is any tearing and ghosting in this and please tell me if 240 Hz is worth it or not? Are the colors good for AAA titles? Please reply
Gaming Expert Kartik there is tearing if your GPU cannot output up to 240 FPS. However, if you take advantage of the latest g-sync update you can utilize variable refresh rates and that will get rid of any tearing no matter the FPS your GPU is out putting. 240hz is absolutely worth it for me. As for colors I have seen better pictures out of the box but I’ve used the NVidia control panel software to correct the colors on the monitor. Now colors match my LG IPS panel pretty closely.
but what would be better in gameplay ?? very fortnite game and wanted a smooth gameplay. I do not do 240 every hour in the fortnite, it gets between 180,100. when I fall for example 100 I will feel very lag ??
@@TrentonMichael Thanks, i did not know at first that all freesync monitors can be used with Gsync, just that some are certified by Nvidia themselves to work properly. Having said that this was not, how did you find the quality of the Gysnc on this?
SmellsLikeNirvanna I don’t have an actually GSYNC monitor to base this off of for proper comparison but I feel like there is a lot more ghosting as GSYNC tries to “hold” the frame rate together. It’s not a bad, or negative thing per se - I’ve just noticed that, but only when I am looking for it.
free sync monitor now compatible with gsync if you have update your card driver to the latest, you will also need a displayport cable to be able to use gsync
MadzTube Simoo is correct. The monitor is only Freesync but with the latest software update from NVidia you can now take advantage of g-sync features without actually requiring a g-sync equipped monitor.
Filetsteak it is! However, Look into the newest 1440p LG 27GL83A-B. Looking back, I think I’d rather have a higher resolution screen with a lower refresh rate (144hz at the lowest) in the 27” category than a 1080p screen.
Heyy bro, I had a question, see currently I own a ACER gn246hl and recently I upgraded by PC with Asus RTX 2070s. Now the problem I am facing is I can't really enjoy the real performance of my new gpu since my monitor only support 144hz on a DVI-D cable and my GPU doesn't have a DVI-D cable it has DP, HDMI and a USB port. Right now I am really confused, I don't know in which monitor I should invest. Could you please confirm if this monitor supports 240hz on DP as well as the HDMI. Keep in mind my GPU has a DP 1.4 and this monitor has DP 1.2.
Konztantin in documents and web browsing, yes, pixels are noticeable. In gaming, not so much within graphics and gameplay. There is pixelation on most text, however.
Trenton Davis I’m really considering this monitor and a rtx 2060 so a question with this monitor are pixels more noticeable on camera than in real life? Because in the video I see a lot of pixels xd
Konztantin pixelation hasn’t really been an issue at all. On camera, you’re most likely seeing moire that camera sensors generally pickup. For web browsing, you do see pixelation, yes...but honestly, I’ve gotten used to it. Also, Beach Camera has a $200 open-box special on this monitor right now. That’s where I purchased mine from, and it was flawless. $200 for 27” 240hz GSYNC compatible monitor is a no-brainer. Do it!
Trenton Davis Gsync? I didn’t hear about this LG being announced at CES or what it’s called but okay.... soooo if you have to be 100% honest should I get it? I just hope the pixel density won’t bother me :/ Thanks for the quick reply!
Konztantin I’d say yes! Pick up the one from Beach Camera for $200. If you don’t like it, I don’t think you’ll have a problem selling it back out...especially now the NVidia GSYNC compatibility works with it. Click that “order” button and get excited!
PRMees If it comes with free shipping, I’d say so. It seems like the average price wants to balance out at somewhere between $300 and $350 this month. Where do you live?
Trenton Davis it has free shipping and I live in the Netherlands but the dollar - Euro ratio is so stupid its almaar always Thats here more expensive than the usa
@@prmees I understand that struggle. Just need to keep your eyes out for that perfect deal. It took me maybe 2 months before I found this one as an open box special.
Konztantin since it is 27” at 1080p, the PPI is roughly 81. Pixels are noticeable in web browsing, text, documents, and sometimes photos. I am used to looking at 4K so it’s probably much more noticeable if you’re coming from a higher res screen. As for gaming, however, I don’t even notice pixelation. It looks fantastic to me.
Konztantin 81 isn’t considered a lot nowadays. 1080p is best suited for 24” - 25” screens. If it’s something that may bother you, I’d say to get a 1440p resolution monitor with 144 hz refresh rate. Have a quick read/glance through this article: www.google.com/amp/4k.com/resolution/amp/ They have an example image of pixel densities between an HD 1080p monitor and a 4K monitor.
Trenton Davis it dosent really bother me I’m just curious if it’s really noticeable or if it’s ya know something you dont really notice :) there is also the AOC ag251fz is that better? it’s 240hz 25inch :)
Konztantin I’d personally go with a 25” 240 hz monitor. That AOC would probably be a solid choice. I went with 27” because it matches the size of my other monitor.
Vinicius Sipoli Reinert you’ll want to enable v-sync through the monitor’s on-screen hub. Once that is done, the GSYNC option becomes available in the NVidia control panel.
@@TrentonMichael awesome, it works with this and other LG monitor model that i have too ! enabled the freesync on monitor and enabled the gsync on nividia control panel settings.
That’s great! It seems like most freesync monitors will actually work with the new GSYNC compatibility option even through they haven’t been officially listed as compatible by NVidia.
@@TrentonMichael yah. They said a lot will work. But the list that they made are just monitors that have passed their quality testing. And they can't test every monitor with free sync
abhishek kairamkonda from what I recall, there is a setting in the monitor’s menu called Motion Blue Reduction. Turn that on and you should then get 1ms response.
Yes and no. It's really only useful when your GPU, CPU, and RAM aren't consistently pushing up to 240 fps. The GSYNC will eliminate any screen tearing if the frame rate drops well below 240.
MEET VERMA you will not need an actual GSYNC monitor. If you purchase a 144hz or 240hz AMD freesync monitor, the chances that it will be compatible with GSYNC software are very high. Your 1080 card should be able to push 240fps on lower graphic settings.
al ram it depends on the power of the GPU that your laptop has installed. If you’re able to achieve high frame rates in games (up to 240fps) then yes you should be able to take advantage of the 240hz refresh rate. One thing I am not totally sure about is if HDMI 2.0 (vs DisplayPort) connection will output 240hz. I haven’t been able to confirm and test this yet. But if your laptop has DisplayPort you should be golden. To enable 240hz, your laptop should have a piece of software (either AMD or NVidia) from which you can set your display to 240hz refresh rate.
@@TrentonMichael i only have a mini displayport on my asus rog gl703 vm.... gtx1060 .. and i tried the monitor now and it only handle 120hz on 2.0 hdmi.. when i use my mini displayport-displayport cable.. i only got 60hz...
matty1878 unfortunately is does not have gsync. Gaming on PC is great. 240 hz looks super smooth with little ghosting, if any at all. PS4 won’t take advantage of the 240hz, however. I’d recommend this for PC first.
Trenton Davis thanks for the reply will sub to your channel yeah it’s either this or the Alienware 240mhz gsync model mostly for pc but will be using the PS4 pro also I know it’s 60mhz for the PS4 but the better frame rate ect can only help to what I’ve got now haha
matty1878 absolutely! Personally, I’d fork the extra cash and go with the Alienware 240hz gsync model. That’s a fine monitor. I had the chance to setup and operate them at a recent Fortnite event and they were incredible.
Trenton Davis thats was my first choice tbh was going to go all out and get the aurora r7 either 1080ti or the i9 9900k 2080ti version but I can’t see the benefits of going for the 2080ti version looking at the the two setups side to side there isn’t much difference for the price
Carlos Martinez you could buy I believe the Xbox one is only capable of outputting 60FPS so you wouldn’t be taking full advantage of the 240hz offering of the monitor. If you want to simply connect your Xbox and play through it, then yes, it has an HDMI input.
Empire Tech Games I should have noted down the hardware i am using in the video description. I use: Alienware Aurora R7 i7 8700k 8GB RAM (soon to be 32GB) 2x 1080ti in SLI mode 256GB SSD

Oh! I did have one more question. Do you know if freesync/gsync works well in borderless full screen? Unfortunately, freesync with AMD gpu only works in full screen so I was wondering if using an Nvidia gpu allows for that to be bypassed and if it actually works well with a freesync monitor?
OverlookeDEnT I’ve only used it on full screen but the GSYNC compatibility give you the option to run in full screen or windowed. I can try windowed tonight and get back with you.
@@TrentonMichael That'd be sweet! Thanks sir.
@@TrentonMichael Hey sir! Did you ever get around to testing the borderless fullscreen gsync? Thanks again!
OverlookeDEnT I did! And it works great.
@@TrentonMichael awesome! I think I'm sending my Vega 64 back and trying something on the nvidia side again then. Thanks for looking into it! I'm just hoping there is no flickering on lower framerates since I play games like Escape From Tarkov where games dip very low on even great rigs.
Please if i will choose the faster monitor and lower input lag this lg or alienware or benq xl2546?
Im competitive player
Thanks
Hey, buddy - I would say the Alienware is better than this one overall. I had firsthand experience with it during all major Fortnite events and the World Cup last year and it was great to play on. I don’t have any experience with the BenQ so I can’t comment on that one.
Have you been able to test a 10 series Nvidia card and the GSync as of yet?
OverlookeDEnT indeed! It works great. I left an update in the description. Also, Beach Camera has this monitor as an open-box special for $200 again.
@@TrentonMichael Really? That's awesome! I went all in on the monitor and a Vega 64 so I'm a bit stuck now but it's great to hear it's working. I may try to sell the vega and try to go gtx 1080 in the near future. I just like Nvidia better (software and such).
Awesome video. I keep second guessing this monitor telling myself theres a better option. Are the colors really that limited? I wanna dual mount and I'm just finding a monitor for gaming and the other for productivity. Would this be a good option for gaming?
Amazon has this monitor for $300 (after shipping) but I've noticed that BeachCamera had two more open box specials for $200 this past weekend. Those are, unfortunately sold now, but it's the second time in less than a month that they've had those open box specials in stock. For $200, it's an absolute no-brainer of a deal, and I'd definitely purchase this monitor for gaming if I were you. As for colors, they aren''t limited to me...at least for a TN panel. I haven't noticed any obvious banding either. As for IPS panel comparison, I have my LG 27UD68 4k IPS monitor sitting next to the LG 27gk750, and the 27UD68 is definitely richer in color, vibrancy, and contrast...but looking back at the 27GK750 doesn't make me dislike what I see...it just seems like the contrast is knocked down a bit and maybe just slightly desaturated when compared to the IPS panel next to it.
@@TrentonMichael thank you. Does it have g-sync? Edit: oh its freesync. Kind of a shame but that's ok tbh.
@@TrentonMichael found it on b&h for like 280 dollars
Aptenodytes I wish it had g-sync but even without it I haven't really noticed any screen tearing that I can recall.
Aptenodytes for $280, I'd go for it. The other option is the AW2518HF for around the same price, and I probably would have gone with that one if I didn't already have a 27" LG 4K that it pairs so nicely next to.
mine is stuck on 60hz? how do I change that
Got it for 200 not bad
Demonwicked that’s a great deal! Where did you buy it?
@@TrentonMichael used market but is only a week old and came with the receipt and everything else. Had a xb252q before also 240 but too small.

Lol in germany lowest price is 340€ :( i hate germany
Does the refresh rate change automatically to amount of frames your PC is producing? Because on Xbox in the top of the setting area it sais 60hz I stead of 240hz but the Xbox only handles 60hz so will it change on a PC to 240 or is it a 60hz version?
Sharkyy yes, it does variable refresh rates on PC
Ok thx
Settings of monitor please!!!
It's 225 right now...worth it still?
Yeah

@@Akanye69 picked one up...we will see.
I still feel this monitor is worth it. However, if you can pick up the Alienware 25 for around the same price, I’d go with that one for it’s smaller screen. 1080 just looks better around 24-25”.

hello sir trenton davis msi optix mag271cr 27 vs lg 27gk750f-b what would you choose
Is it worth? Can you watch a video with ease from 3 meters away?
Yeah, I'd say the farther you are from it the less you'll notice any pixelation. I'd say it's still worth it if you can find it for around $200 USD.
Do you know what's the active refresh rate range for g-sync to be active for this monitor?
Steven Nguyen I’m not completely sure what the range is but I’ve seen it work all the way up to 240hz. Maybe I am misunderstanding the question though.
Hi. have you tested the motion blur reduction? Can you have it enabled and the adptative sync (gsync/fresync) enabled at the same time?
sl1g unfortunately enabling the 1ms blur reduction mode will disable the GSYNC compatibility feature.
Wow you are sitting so close to a 27 inch monitor.
I need to see EVERY PIXEL!
@@TrentonMichael tough job mate
Can we see difference in 1 ms and 4ms response
Techi Taro it’s very minimal, but yes I have been able to see a difference when comparing a 1ms and 5ms monitor side by side.
Does it come with a display port cable?
Ham.Radio yes, it does
@@TrentonMichael thanks!
Ham.Radio no problem!
Dang. $200. Cheaper than what I paid for. I need to stop being lazy with the deal hunting.
D: yeah! I actually just noticed that they put two more $200 specials up on their site earlier last week. I had almost given up, and figured I would just have to drop $350-400 for the cheapest 240hz monitor I could find...until I noticed the used section on Amazon linked to Beach Camera's steal of a deal.
I actually took a look, and didn't see any $200 deals currently up. Although I already got mine for $250. A fair difference, imo.
As you know that how much sweats are there in season x fortnite so I was planning to buy this monitor but I wanna know if there is any tearing and ghosting in this and please tell me if 240 Hz is worth it or not? Are the colors good for AAA titles? Please reply
Gaming Expert Kartik there is tearing if your GPU cannot output up to 240 FPS. However, if you take advantage of the latest g-sync update you can utilize variable refresh rates and that will get rid of any tearing no matter the FPS your GPU is out putting. 240hz is absolutely worth it for me. As for colors I have seen better pictures out of the box but I’ve used the NVidia control panel software to correct the colors on the monitor. Now colors match my LG IPS panel pretty closely.
Is this monitor good for photo and video editing ?
hello, can i switch beetwen 144hz and 240hz? thank you, i just subbed :)
Yes, you can do that within the GPU settings of your graphics card software
but what would be better in gameplay ?? very fortnite game and wanted a smooth gameplay. I do not do 240 every hour in the fortnite, it gets between 180,100. when I fall for example 100 I will feel very lag ??
is it 1ms? and does the 1ms work?
what is the best LG 240 hz or Alienware 240hz ?
Gustavo B. I think a 25” monitor is the sweet spot so I’d personally go with the Alienware 25.
Definitely alienware
Where did you get the info that it is G-sync compatible? I saw the official list of 12 by Nvidia and this monitor is not on there.
SmellsLikeNirvanna I ended up just trying the monitor out with GSYNC and it was recognized in the NVidia software.
@@TrentonMichael Thanks, i did not know at first that all freesync monitors can be used with Gsync, just that some are certified by Nvidia themselves to work properly. Having said that this was not, how did you find the quality of the Gysnc on this?
SmellsLikeNirvanna I don’t have an actually GSYNC monitor to base this off of for proper comparison but I feel like there is a lot more ghosting as GSYNC tries to “hold” the frame rate together. It’s not a bad, or negative thing per se - I’ve just noticed that, but only when I am looking for it.
Does this monitor work with nvidia 3d glasses vision v2 ?
M Sameir unfortunately, I don’t believe they will since this monitor does not have NVIDIA 3D Lightboost embedded.
is it only freesync ? coz on its official site it says g-sync compatible
free sync monitor now compatible with gsync if you have update your card driver to the latest, you will also need a displayport cable to be able to use gsync
MadzTube Simoo is correct. The monitor is only Freesync but with the latest software update from NVidia you can now take advantage of g-sync features without actually requiring a g-sync equipped monitor.

Heyy bro,
I had a question, see currently I own a ACER gn246hl and recently I upgraded by PC with Asus RTX 2070s. Now the problem I am facing is I can't really enjoy the real performance of my new gpu since my monitor only support 144hz on a DVI-D cable and my GPU doesn't have a DVI-D cable it has DP, HDMI and a USB port. Right now I am really confused, I don't know in which monitor I should invest. Could you please confirm if this monitor supports 240hz on DP as well as the HDMI. Keep in mind my GPU has a DP 1.4 and this monitor has DP 1.2.
I want to say that the HDMI limits you to 60Hz...I can plug an HDMI from my 1080ti into the monitors HDMI port tonight, and then let you know.
Will it be g sync as soon as I set it up to my computer or do I need to manually change it from free sync to g sync
You’ll need to have the latest GSYNC drivers installed to ensure it will be GSYNC compatible.
Noticing any pixels? Since it’s 27inch 1080p
Konztantin in documents and web browsing, yes, pixels are noticeable. In gaming, not so much within graphics and gameplay. There is pixelation on most text, however.
Trenton Davis I’m really considering this monitor and a rtx 2060 so a question with this monitor are pixels more noticeable on camera than in real life? Because in the video I see a lot of pixels xd
Konztantin pixelation hasn’t really been an issue at all. On camera, you’re most likely seeing moire that camera sensors generally pickup. For web browsing, you do see pixelation, yes...but honestly, I’ve gotten used to it. Also, Beach Camera has a $200 open-box special on this monitor right now. That’s where I purchased mine from, and it was flawless. $200 for 27” 240hz GSYNC compatible monitor is a no-brainer. Do it!
Trenton Davis Gsync? I didn’t hear about this LG being announced at CES or what it’s called but okay.... soooo if you have to be 100% honest should I get it? I just hope the pixel density won’t bother me :/
Thanks for the quick reply!
Konztantin I’d say yes! Pick up the one from Beach Camera for $200. If you don’t like it, I don’t think you’ll have a problem selling it back out...especially now the NVidia GSYNC compatibility works with it. Click that “order” button and get excited!
What is the ms response time?
1ms, and 2ms with motion blur reduction enabled
1ms 😍
Does a ps4 work on the monitor?
Yes
In my regio its only $270 worth it?
PRMees If it comes with free shipping, I’d say so. It seems like the average price wants to balance out at somewhere between $300 and $350 this month. Where do you live?
Trenton Davis it has free shipping and I live in the Netherlands but the dollar - Euro ratio is so stupid its almaar always Thats here more expensive than the usa
@@prmees I understand that struggle. Just need to keep your eyes out for that perfect deal. It took me maybe 2 months before I found this one as an open box special.
@@TrentonMichael I bought it for 140 dollars..... That's good right?
Claudio Portugal that’s an amazing deal! Enjoy it!
Is the monitor 1080p
Yes, 1080p
27inch TN? Will there be any like signs of pixel like where you can see them?
Konztantin since it is 27” at 1080p, the PPI is roughly 81. Pixels are noticeable in web browsing, text, documents, and sometimes photos. I am used to looking at 4K so it’s probably much more noticeable if you’re coming from a higher res screen. As for gaming, however, I don’t even notice pixelation. It looks fantastic to me.
Trenton Davis is 81 pixel a lot like a noticeable thing? Thanks for answering quick and nice review mate!
Konztantin 81 isn’t considered a lot nowadays. 1080p is best suited for 24” - 25” screens. If it’s something that may bother you, I’d say to get a 1440p resolution monitor with 144 hz refresh rate.
Have a quick read/glance through this article: www.google.com/amp/4k.com/resolution/amp/
They have an example image of pixel densities between an HD 1080p monitor and a 4K monitor.
Trenton Davis it dosent really bother me I’m just curious if it’s really noticeable or if it’s ya know something you dont really notice :) there is also the AOC ag251fz is that better? it’s 240hz 25inch :)
Konztantin I’d personally go with a 25” 240 hz monitor. That AOC would probably be a solid choice. I went with 27” because it matches the size of my other monitor.
What about g sync?
I created this video before the GSYNC compatibility was released. I can confirm that GSYNC does indeed work with this monitor.
is it a VA panel ? please answer
No, this monitor is a TN panel.
@@TrentonMichael amazon says it is VA
I just checked LG’s website and they have it listed as a TN panel. Amazon is notorious for incorrect info.
@@TrentonMichael ok thanks
to use with g-sync then there is nothing else to do, just plug and go ?
Vinicius Sipoli Reinert you’ll want to enable v-sync through the monitor’s on-screen hub. Once that is done, the GSYNC option becomes available in the NVidia control panel.
@@TrentonMichael awesome, it works with this and other LG monitor model that i have too ! enabled the freesync on monitor and enabled the gsync on nividia control panel settings.
That’s great! It seems like most freesync monitors will actually work with the new GSYNC compatibility option even through they haven’t been officially listed as compatible by NVidia.
@@TrentonMichael yah. They said a lot will work. But the list that they made are just monitors that have passed their quality testing. And they can't test every monitor with free sync
Can you elaborate how to enable 1ms input lag?
abhishek kairamkonda from what I recall, there is a setting in the monitor’s menu called Motion Blue Reduction. Turn that on and you should then get 1ms response.
@@TrentonMichael thanks man highly appreciated ✌
Is there is any need of g sync if we have 240hz monitor ?
Yes and no. It's really only useful when your GPU, CPU, and RAM aren't consistently pushing up to 240 fps. The GSYNC will eliminate any screen tearing if the frame rate drops well below 240.
@@TrentonMichael so there is no need if we have 240hz.

@@TrentonMichael i have gtx 1080 but monitor is 75 hz.. ? So please tell me if i buy 240hz tn panel monitor without g sycn...it is ok for me?
MEET VERMA you will not need an actual GSYNC monitor. If you purchase a 144hz or 240hz AMD freesync monitor, the chances that it will be compatible with GSYNC software are very high. Your 1080 card should be able to push 240fps on lower graphic settings.

No
Hi if i use it on my asus rog laptop, can i max the refresh rate to 240hz? If yes how?
al ram it depends on the power of the GPU that your laptop has installed. If you’re able to achieve high frame rates in games (up to 240fps) then yes you should be able to take advantage of the 240hz refresh rate. One thing I am not totally sure about is if HDMI 2.0 (vs DisplayPort) connection will output 240hz. I haven’t been able to confirm and test this yet. But if your laptop has DisplayPort you should be golden. To enable 240hz, your laptop should have a piece of software (either AMD or NVidia) from which you can set your display to 240hz refresh rate.

matty1878 unfortunately is does not have gsync. Gaming on PC is great. 240 hz looks super smooth with little ghosting, if any at all. PS4 won’t take advantage of the 240hz, however. I’d recommend this for PC first.
Trenton Davis thanks for the reply will sub to your channel yeah it’s either this or the Alienware 240mhz gsync model mostly for pc but will be using the PS4 pro also I know it’s 60mhz for the PS4 but the better frame rate ect can only help to what I’ve got now haha
matty1878 absolutely! Personally, I’d fork the extra cash and go with the Alienware 240hz gsync model. That’s a fine monitor. I had the chance to setup and operate them at a recent Fortnite event and they were incredible.
Trenton Davis thats was my first choice tbh was going to go all out and get the aurora r7 either 1080ti or the i9 9900k 2080ti version but I can’t see the benefits of going for the 2080ti version looking at the the two setups side to side there isn’t much difference for the price

Carlos Martinez you could buy I believe the Xbox one is only capable of outputting 60FPS so you wouldn’t be taking full advantage of the 240hz offering of the monitor. If you want to simply connect your Xbox and play through it, then yes, it has an HDMI input.
