Thanks for finally reviewing this thing. I wish the monitor world had more true Mini-LED competition like TVs do. OLEDs are dominating but not everyone wants OLED. At this point, though, I don't expect mini LED to ever succeed because of an onslaught of bad implementations and compromises across the board.
Please, review this, it's out in March: The LG 27G850A is a 27″ 4K 240Hz monitor based on an IPS Black monitor with a 2000:1 contrast ratio, 99% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1ms GtG response time, and DisplayHDR 600 support. It also boasts the 1080p 480Hz Dual Mode.
I have this monitor since release. Its mini-LED backlight implementation is the single worst I have ever seen on any display. Sadly the PC monitor mini-LED market hasn't progressed since the first few monitors from half a decade ago.
thanks for making this review RTINGS so... did LG just drop firmware support at 3.05, 2.02 + its been from december 24 until now w no update? its confusing why they would leave such a prime time product hanging out there for so long with major issues... is it a bad panel ? or could firmware fix? did they abandon? gonna buy it anyway
I also plan to buy, i don't think this is much of an issue if you disable local dimming you still have an insane quality and mini led, nothing is ever 100 % perfect but this one isn't far from it
@@imtheK2 hey thank you i hadnt thought of that - that kid viktor from "display reality" youtube channel + some reddit kids too saying the 3.05 firmware was a major improvement. i think you have to tweak the black levels... the panel on the Tempest GP27U is a real beauty - eyeball scorcher brightness + super vivid color i think from the quantum dot factor idk.. but ugly asf compared to LG w how they handle the bezels + they have a chin on it :/ LFG LG FINE TUNE THIS BICHH 2025

Why are 32" 4k screens seemingly so unpopular? Everything is 27" these days. To me that's too small for 4k, but I seem to be in a small minority!

.... Yes, but what I have to work like 12 hours a day and then maybe play 30 mins?
