Hi mate, I have the 27gs75q version and was struggling to find any setting guides. This has helped massively and thank you for taking the time to do the video.
I use after 9 months of adjusting : Gamer 1 black stabilizer 55 or 60 depending on game/content. brightness to suit your environment, i use between 20-40 contrast 68 sharpness 60 gamma 4 color custom R50 G47 B49 six color all hue default 50 all saturation 42
thanks im using gamer 2 mode, setting the sharpness to 60 from 70 really helped with pure black text on pure white background. before it looked like letters had weird colors around them
This took me awhile to figure out. I guess when you bring up the menu the settings are already selected: It looked like it was just a logo in the middle. So really you just have to press the control stick thing twice in a row to get to the settings
Have this monitor for quite some time as my second moni besides a Predator X34P Ultrawide. After some long sessions with eyestrain and headache, i played with the settings. -> gamer 1 preset Black stabilizer 60 Brightness 74 (depends on room) Contrast 68 Sharpness 50 Gamma Mode 2 Color temp - manual W4 6 colors - just red saturation 49 And thats it. Kinda looks like a more saturated version of the srgb preset, which i really like cause it‘s better for the eyes (warmer color temp).
These damn panels are trash, my LG OLED TV has Contrast at 100 and Brightness at 50 and looks great, on this panel Contrast at 100 washes out all the whites, totally backward.

Ciao! Sul mio monitor lg 32gp850, collegato ad una Xbox Series X, ci sono rimasto malissimo (mi reputo inesperto su questo campo) quando ho scoperto che non c'è la possibilità di attivare contemporaneamente il FreeSync e Motion Blur Reduction! Ma com'è possibile??? 😅😢
Try using a display port connection and changing settings in windows. Also depends on how old your hardware is, some older graphics cards do not have the right ports.
This is standard unfortunately, I believe those settings are locked to get the best out of the "extended" adaptive sync, although I am still not sure what real world benefit the extended setting gives tbh...

I have a problem in this monitor, im using Gsync and the monitor in the color gray start to flicker on the bottom of the rigth side.
Hi, I have just bought this monitor today, and am loving it so far. However, my unit seems to be locked at 144hz, even though on the box is says it is a 165hz monitor. I am using the HDMI cable that came with the monitor. Do you know how I can change this so I reach that 165hz?
I got this screen for my PlayStation four after I connected the screen and opened the battlefield five it automatically activate a mode which made the colors look realistic, make the game more realistic. due to a the seller I had to return the screen. I also received the same screen back and repackaged it after I connected it and opened the game even though I didn’t ask for this mode. Now the game doesn’t look as crisp as before, what do I have to do because someone recommends what that could have been?
for me, the red color is so bright that it hurts the eyes and apart from the SRGB mode, I can't change it. reducing the contrast only darkens the image but does not remove the glowing red color :(
It's not the monitor, it's windows. I assume you are using Win 10 or older. Windows 10 uses SRGB color space and this monitor is wide color gamut, which in short means all colors (specially red) will be overly saturated.
@@ag4640 I have the same problem in Win11, it's very annoying. In most videos and pictures everyone looks like they are sunburned and there is a lot of glow. I tried multiple settings, icc from factory, rtings, rgb settings, nvidia settings, everything.. I don't know what I should try anymore.
@@Lanka_99 yeah, color profiles won't solve the issue since only supporting programs will make use of them. There are 2 solutions. Either to set the monitor to sRGB mode (recommended). You’ll lose a little bit of controls, but by setting RGB color format and Full dynamic range on your GPU control panel you’ll get accurate colors with deep blacks. OR, turn HDR mode in Windows (Win 11 is best option since it has an HDR calibration app). This way the entire OS will use the native color space of the monitor and saturation will be no more. Just be aware that this mode only makes sense with Auto HDR enabled, which can cause fullscreen problems in certain games.
@@ag4640Thank you for your help. The weird thing is that even in sRGB mode it did not fix the issue, only slightly. What happend is that the red is still there but slighly greyed out. I start to think that there is something wrong with my monitor and not the settings.
@@Lanka_99 Have you set in your GPU control panel RGB/Full Dynamic Range/10 bpc? Aside from that, the colors in sRGB mode should be accurate. It’s just that you come from seeng an extremely saturated red and when you compare it with a property shown red you get the feeling that the colors are just washed out or even slightly changed. But trust me, that’s how it should look like. If you have an OLED phone or tablet like an iPad (they tend to be color accurate), google "shades of [insert color] wikipedia" and compare the images. You will see that the colors in your monitor are indeed accurate.
I'm planning to buy the same monitor in this video as an external monitor for my rog g531gt laptop but my laptop has only one hdmi 2.0b port. Does g-sync works via hdmi 2.0b? I hope you can help me.
thanks mate for pointing me to something of a right direction, I just bought the LG ultragear and its driving me crazy what settings to choose for a more generalize way of using the monitor but more into gaming as well as watching video
Hi, I bought this monitor and have attached it to PS5, but the monitor settings says 60hz only and the options of overclock are grayed out, can you please help ?
Have you guys toggled on/off the 120hz mode? PS5 supports upto 120hz but you have to turn it on in your console settings. Other than that make sure adaptive sync / free sync is off. I hope that helps.
I have it set to automatic and it stays at 60 in the menu, but now that I put a game and set it to 120 Hz in the game, the monitor changed from 60 to 120@@DoubleTakeTechUk
For static reading and studying; the very low min brightness helps. On the flipside, this IPS panel isn't really the best for text sharpness - you really have to play with settings to get that right. It's just a great all rounder. but there isn't a native eye saver mode though, like samsung monitors, nor is it a Kindle :).
Hey man love the video why is my monitor not allowing me to change my contrast gamma etc. it’s all greyed out only allowing me to change brightness and I’m using game 1 and to top it off staying at 60hz
Hello, Thank you for your great video! It was a big help for me! I just have two questions, I use this monitor just for gaming like warzone. 1.) I have an AMD Graphik card (AMD RX 7900 GRE), should I activate MBR or Adaptive sync in basic or extended? I get 120-140 Hz in warzone 2.) Should I put the smart energy saving on off or low for the best performence in game? I hope you can help!
Thank you! You should keep MBR and adaptive sync off for best performance. I do not believe the ECO mode has much impact on the performance, it'll probably turn of your monitor LED and make the screen dimmer. Other than that, it should not do a huge amount to performance.
@@Bthemann16 Why would you turn off adaptive sync? That is a horrible advice. Obviously you need adaptive sync enabled on the monitor, otherwise you won't get GSync working at all.
@@aight3565 nah not that Ive noticed. I have ran it at 180Hz for 9,122 hours so far and everything is working fine. It’s built in to the monitor so technically both 165Hz and 180Hz are considered the native Hz for the monitor. The difference is, one needs DisplayPort 1.2 and the other needs 1.4 but it’s a Nano IPS panel so it’s built for it.
Hard to say without knowing your settings, but I am sure it’s because your are on 1080p. This monitor is not geared for ps5 as ps5 does not support 1440p (it’s either hd or 4K). Check out this thread; www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/qgwy4y/samsung_odyssey_g7_and_ps5/
Hey guys I just got this monitor today and I am not sure it has some rgb colors at the back and if so how to turn them on and off because I couldn't find anything in the settings
Yeah I realized that the day I bought it haha. It's not a deal breaker tho as the screen is terrific tbh. I paired it with my ps5 and after years of 60 hrz that 120 hrz was a nice change to see with 1440p.
How to chance my refresh rate, I'm on ps5? I see when u press menu button U have constantly 165 Hz, I constantly have 60hz...my over lock and mbr settings are grayed out I can't touch them...
@@shivaraamsanjay5606 Yes and make sure u got performance mode ON in both ur ps5’s settings and games (When u start a game that supports 120hz u can notice ur monitor blacking out for a second)
hey dude i m in trouble whit this monitor afther few times that i m lokkign at my eyes go tierd ,do u know how to turn on the night mode or smothing else also i cant activate the motion blur reductiopn and i dont know why.please help me i paid too much this monitor and now its not working really good
Hi Ivan. Thats a real shame but I hope one of the things in the list below help you out: 1. Turn down the brightness 2. Turn off HDR 3. Use highest available refresh rate 4. Try adjusting the colours towards the 'warm spectrum' (reduce blue, increase red) 5. Wear special blue light filter glasses 6. Don't play in a completely dark room, have a soft light behind the screen or on the wall you are facing 7. Don't sit too close to the monitor, have enough distance that you don't have to constantly move your eyes to see each corner. Also try to move your head rather than just eyes when looking in different directions. I hope these tips do help. Let me know how you get on.
I tried multiple settings and 2 icc profiles (rtings and factory), but everyone is still looking sunburned on my screen. Do you know how I can fix this issue?

Hi, I have just bought this monitor today, and am loving it so far. However, my unit seems to be locked at 144hz, even though on the box is says it is a 165hz monitor. I am using the HDMI cable that came with the monitor. Do you know how I can change this so I reach that 165hz?
I think you would need a DisplayPort 1.4
@Elunne345 Ah, okay. Do you have any recommendations for a USB Type C to Displayport Cable?
I'm not sure, I'm also looking for one hahaha
@@Elunne345 All good!
How do I set it to 165hz cause mine is at 144hz
I got this screen for my PlayStation four after I connected the screen and opened the battlefield five it automatically activate a mode which made the colors look realistic, make the game more realistic. due to a the seller I had to return the screen. I also received the same screen back and repackaged it after I connected it and opened the game even though I didn’t ask for this mode. Now the game doesn’t look as crisp as before, what do I have to do because someone recommends what that could have been?
for me, the red color is so bright that it hurts the eyes and apart from the SRGB mode, I can't change it. reducing the contrast only darkens the image but does not remove the glowing red color :(
It's not the monitor, it's windows. I assume you are using Win 10 or older. Windows 10 uses SRGB color space and this monitor is wide color gamut, which in short means all colors (specially red) will be overly saturated.
@@ag4640 I have the same problem in Win11, it's very annoying. In most videos and pictures everyone looks like they are sunburned and there is a lot of glow. I tried multiple settings, icc from factory, rtings, rgb settings, nvidia settings, everything.. I don't know what I should try anymore.
@@Lanka_99 yeah, color profiles won't solve the issue since only supporting programs will make use of them.
There are 2 solutions. Either to set the monitor to sRGB mode (recommended). You’ll lose a little bit of controls, but by setting RGB color format and Full dynamic range on your GPU control panel you’ll get accurate colors with deep blacks.
OR, turn HDR mode in Windows (Win 11 is best option since it has an HDR calibration app). This way the entire OS will use the native color space of the monitor and saturation will be no more. Just be aware that this mode only makes sense with Auto HDR enabled, which can cause fullscreen problems in certain games.
@@ag4640Thank you for your help.
The weird thing is that even in sRGB mode it did not fix the issue, only slightly. What happend is that the red is still there but slighly greyed out.
I start to think that there is something wrong with my monitor and not the settings.
@@Lanka_99 Have you set in your GPU control panel RGB/Full Dynamic Range/10 bpc? Aside from that, the colors in sRGB mode should be accurate. It’s just that you come from seeng an extremely saturated red and when you compare it with a property shown red you get the feeling that the colors are just washed out or even slightly changed. But trust me, that’s how it should look like.
If you have an OLED phone or tablet like an iPad (they tend to be color accurate), google "shades of [insert color] wikipedia" and compare the images. You will see that the colors in your monitor are indeed accurate.
I'm planning to buy the same monitor in this video as an external monitor for my rog g531gt laptop but my laptop has only one hdmi 2.0b port. Does g-sync works via hdmi 2.0b? I hope you can help me.
Hi Jasper. You will have to use the display port to utilise G Sync.
@@DoubleTakeTechUk if my laptop with rtx 3070 doesn`t have display port? can i use hdmi adapter to display port?
thanks mate for pointing me to something of a right direction, I just bought the LG ultragear and its driving me crazy what settings to choose for a more generalize way of using the monitor but more into gaming as well as watching video
Can i get 180 HZ in HDR mode??????
Hi, i use this monitor for PS5, I would like to know if I should activate motion blur reduction or continue to take off. Thanks
Keep it off.
@@DoubleTakeTechUk thanks
Hi, i use this monitor for PS5 too, but i don't see this option, Any help please.
Hi, I bought this monitor and have attached it to PS5, but the monitor settings says 60hz only and the options of overclock are grayed out, can you please help ?
I have the same problem, I haven't found how to increase the Hz.
Have you guys toggled on/off the 120hz mode? PS5 supports upto 120hz but you have to turn it on in your console settings.
Other than that make sure adaptive sync / free sync is off.
I hope that helps.
I have it set to automatic and it stays at 60 in the menu, but now that I put a game and set it to 120 Hz in the game, the monitor changed from 60 to 120@@DoubleTakeTechUk
Is there a way to get the full 1440p and 180hz connecting it to a laptop?
With a display port if it has the connection 🫡
Great review, is the monitor good for studying also? Do your eyes hurt or something when reading static text?
For static reading and studying; the very low min brightness helps. On the flipside, this IPS panel isn't really the best for text sharpness - you really have to play with settings to get that right.
It's just a great all rounder. but there isn't a native eye saver mode though, like samsung monitors, nor is it a Kindle :).
I have a Series X. What should the freesync setting be?
I use extended
@@RichKelsallbut then your capped at 100 hz I heard
As soon as I saw mugetsu you got my like man
I can’t get all the settings why?
I had display port cable on it also
all settings are availible only if HDR is off..
why is the black level greyed out for me?
It may be due to having a certain feature turned on like HDR. Try different profiles 👍
Hey man love the video why is my monitor not allowing me to change my contrast gamma etc. it’s all greyed out only allowing me to change brightness and I’m using game 1 and to top it off staying at 60hz
why does it always show HDR off?
what about hdr
How do I change the hz on ps5 it just says 60 hz all the time how do I change it to 120hz what monitor setting do I use
I have been asking the same thing. Most setting on the monitor are disabled and im on 60 hz
I play on the ps5 how can i pop the menu
How do i change refresh rate?
You can change it through your display settings on your device.
😢Why can't I control the motion blur option, someone help me please
You need to be at 120hz turn off freesync
@@-pp- How can I stop it?
From monitor settings
Hello,
Thank you for your great video! It was a big help for me!
I just have two questions, I use this monitor just for gaming like warzone.
1.) I have an AMD Graphik card (AMD RX 7900 GRE), should I activate MBR or Adaptive sync in basic or extended? I get 120-140 Hz in warzone
2.) Should I put the smart energy saving on off or low for the best performence in game?
I hope you can help!
Thank you!
You should keep MBR and adaptive sync off for best performance. I do not believe the ECO mode has much impact on the performance, it'll probably turn of your monitor LED and make the screen dimmer. Other than that, it should not do a huge amount to performance.
@@DoubleTakeTechUk got this monitor brand new, question why i can run it in only 59 hz? im using windows 11 laptop rtx 3050
@@kokon2010 thats strange. What cable are you plugged in with? Have you changed the refresh rate in windows?
This is a very good review. You made me subscribe. Keep it up, really.
How do you turn off the accessibility on this monitor ?
What is the best setting for Nvidia sync
Extend?
Basic?
That option is for AMD Freesync. If you have G Sync you’ll want it off.
@@Bthemann16 Why would you turn off adaptive sync? That is a horrible advice. Obviously you need adaptive sync enabled on the monitor, otherwise you won't get GSync working at all.
There is definately a HUGE difference between 165Hz and 180Hz. The difference between 180Hz and 240Hz however is harder to spot.
I only use the 180Hz mode on this monitor lol I definitely notice a difference, this guy has no idea.
@@-BUGZ-doesn’t it shorten the life span of the monitor?
@@aight3565 nah not that Ive noticed. I have ran it at 180Hz for 9,122 hours so far and everything is working fine. It’s built in to the monitor so technically both 165Hz and 180Hz are considered the native Hz for the monitor. The difference is, one needs DisplayPort 1.2 and the other needs 1.4 but it’s a Nano IPS panel so it’s built for it.
I use the same monitor and have 160-180 fps in warzone should I use almost or faster
Thank you for the comment.
We would suggest faster. Hope that helps.
Any reason as to why i can't change some settings when HDR is on? I dont seem to see you having HDR on in this video, but i did skim through it.
It does disable some settings when using HDR as those have to be standardised for the HDR experience.
How do I turn HDR off?
@@tylerbrandenburg9615 You can do it in settings, but also in Windows.
Bro, I use it on ps5, but am I wrong or is it too blurry?
Hard to say without knowing your settings, but I am sure it’s because your are on 1080p. This monitor is not geared for ps5 as ps5 does not support 1440p (it’s either hd or 4K).

No rgb on this monitor, sorry
Yeah I realized that the day I bought it haha. It's not a deal breaker tho as the screen is terrific tbh. I paired it with my ps5 and after years of 60 hrz that 120 hrz was a nice change to see with 1440p.

Hi Ivan. Thats a real shame but I hope one of the things in the list below help you out:
1. Turn down the brightness
2. Turn off HDR
3. Use highest available refresh rate
4. Try adjusting the colours towards the 'warm spectrum' (reduce blue, increase red)
5. Wear special blue light filter glasses
6. Don't play in a completely dark room, have a soft light behind the screen or on the wall you are facing
7. Don't sit too close to the monitor, have enough distance that you don't have to constantly move your eyes to see each corner. Also try to move your head rather than just eyes when looking in different directions.
I hope these tips do help. Let me know how you get on.
I tried multiple settings and 2 icc profiles (rtings and factory), but everyone is still looking sunburned on my screen. Do you know how I can fix this issue?
Try changing colour temperature through the Picture Adjust -> Color Temp
