Well i've had this monitor for 4-5 months now. The only negative thing i noticed was the rather strong ips glow while using it in a dark enviroment. You can however just turn down the brightness which almost completely negates the issue. Other than that i like this monitor a lot. Even the Hdr isn't as bad as many people say. I wouldn't use it on regurlar desktop usage tho because it makes non hdr content look really weird. If calibrated correctly in ingame settings it can really benefit from a wider colour gammut and definitly look better than non hdr. A small tip: If you don't want to change hdr on or off manually, you can use the software AutoActions to select your games and it will change it for you.
We shopped forever, and went thru tons of options, then settled on this one, zero regrets, it's honestly perfect PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!! Got it, love it, works perfect! you just don't get the twisting screen, and riser, big deal lol.
paired with an Nvidia GPU there's no end to how amazing this monitor can look, it takes some patience because there TONS of settings, and settings on settings on settings lol. it took me a few hours of playing around to perfect the combo(RTX3060GPU) there is NO problems is with brightness, I don't get where this is coming from. came with display port cable, which was really nice, but I wish it had 1 USB. It's super solid, and actually more solid than the one with swivel, and the fancy stand lol. Get's my vote for best 27' Flat IPS for 2021.
@@TypeCTechReviews I just wanted to know if you tried the "HDR" for the monitor? If you did did you notice the frame rate drop to 60 when you watched something in HDR? Reason I'm asking is cause I have the exact same monitor and it was doing that for me.
@@Monkeyhat549 I play on Xbox too. Make sure you go to settings and under the display option change it to 1440p 120hz. Keep in mind that not all games on console will go above 60fps. If you do that and load a 120fps capable game, such as Warzone, you should see it go to 120Hz. Of course this is assuming you have a SX or SS. If it's an Xbox One you won't see more than 60hz

I bought this monitor on amazon for 224 dollars, I am from Colombia and shipping is separate, I'm waiting until Friday to confirm my payment if I do not see something better.
I was going to get the Samsung g5 or g6 Odessy but a friend recommended this monitor so I’m here. Edit: I am now buying this monitor instead plus it goes with Nvidia gsync Edit 2: I saw the 850-B video right after this one so I’m getting that one.
I trying to find out if this monitor has built in speakers ? What audio options are there? Any and all advice is appreciated. I am brand new to the computer world.
thers an AOB bk something with almost the same specs . the main diference is the 165hz refresh rate and HDR ready on it. where the lh as 144hz and HDR+HDR10. but other then that they are very similar. the aoc as a better stand with height and swivel adjust and the lg as only tilt. they are the exact same price.i like the aoc most but the feauters of the lg are superior.
you didnt see or lesse right. when in the video part the guy shows the back conections he clearly mentions the 2hdmi and 1dp ports and headphone out conections. so yep it can geve you audio out via 3,5 audio jack directly to headphones or to an amplifier or receiver.
Will the g-sync be on if I connect the monitor with an Hdmi cable to my laptop? Or this works only with a display port cable? Because someone said it works only with the display port and not with an Hdmi
I am so confused between LG 27GN850-B and DELLS2721DGF, I like to watch hdr content on RUclips and NETFLIX, and play hdr games. I have Hp omen 15 gaming laptop with rtx 2060, so i wanna connect my laptop with hdmi to one of this monitor. Which one is better for me? please someone help me;)) Thanks;))
Bought mine a week before Black Friday because Amazon felt pressured by Media Markt discount week to drop prices as well, so I got it for a good price, while it is an amazing monitor I got some recommendation, I got a 5700 bios Flashed to an XT, when I tested out MBR my driver kept on crashing several times within an hour, it doesn't do that when using Adaptive, also, a good thing is the Monitor comes with a Display Port cable, so you can immediately go ahead and enjoy the 144hz. It's a good Monitor but honestly, the only downside is the HDR experience that is not good.
What do you think about LG 32GN650 which is having a VA Panel ... Will it have more flickering issues or light reflection issue .. Please suggest as I am thinking to go with it as it is a 32 inch monitor
@@TypeCTechReviews awesome thanks for the info. I want to get a xbox series s and I believe in WZ it can only do 1080 120. I’m sure it will look just find
I like mine, but I just turned it on yesterday and got a black screen with grey/white vertical lines going down the middle and far right of the screen. Pulled the power plug and rebooted it and it was fine, kind of odd though.
It’s a known problem with monitors that have BOE panels in them. Honestly, I think LG should just use their own ips panels in all of the monitors they make…
@@thage0 no complaints. Very good monitor nice colours and doesn't get insanely hot like my last one. One of my favourite things about it is the crosshair function. If a game doesn't have a crosshair you can toggle it on in the monitor menu.
I've had this one for a year now, it's just great, but be warned you can make the display look shitty af by tweaking settings so just pick the right ones
I am thinking about buying this, or samsung odyssey g5 for the curvature. I can't just make up my mind, does IPS panels really much better than VA? Should I consider the curvature? I am currently using a TN panel monitor so both will be an upgrade for me. If you have any recommendations I would gladly take them. Thanks a lot.
IPS panels are better for video and photo editing as well as design because colours are more accurate. If you're going for gaming i think VA is better, because IPS tend to have lower response times, but again, this isnt really relevant if your going for stuff like editing. VA monitors tend to have lower response times as well as good colors and they are more affordable. Making it super simple: TN = Bad colours, cheap, low response times. VA = Good colours, affordable, low response times. IPS = Amazing colours, more expensive, low response time.
Hope you dont buy the g5, worst monitor ever, tons of ghosting no matter the settings you put, if you play fps or any game with dark scenarios the ghosting escalate to wash all the moving sequences, if you gonna use it for media absolute trash, when the monitor try to go from dark to wite you got alot of pixels betwen the change and feels like yo are playing cs 1.6 in 16bits. Ive returned mine and pick the lg 24gn600-b, nothing much to say, such a excelent monitor. Hope this help to the person who got the same issue of what monitor buy, just leave the g5 in the trash were he belong
Yes, but for console better to get nice tv. I have this monitor and for pc its really good for 350€. But for Xbox I have 55" 4K Sony Bravia and this is night and day difference in contrast and HDR. On this monitor forget about HDR forever. You can do what ever you want but in my opinion (person who have this monitor and 4K 55xe950 Sony Bravia (2019-2020 model) which it's not very expensive tv, better invest the money in good tv for console gaming. There is a big difference believe me. This is only my personal experience and my thoughts about it. You can do what ever you want with your money. I just wanted to share with you my personal experience. If you want invest the money, take something really good for you. Greetings from Italy😉
Übersetzen I recently bought one and unfortunately the monitor has a lot "IPS Glowing" in the lower left corner, but apparently many have the problem with the monitor. Nevertheless, it is a phenomenal Gaming Monitor
You really cannot trust anything to match. Maybe the menu system is similar. For example, even LG 27GN800 and LG 27GN850 have display panels from different *vendors* (800 has BOE panel, 850 has LG panel) so I would assume 24GN600 has pretty much nothing in common with the panel technology.
I own the GN600 and the 800. Like you said one is 24 inches 1080 p, the other is 27 inches 1440 p.: that’s the difference. It’s a huge difference.all depends on your desk size and what you want for resolution. I love the 600 it’s just hard to go back to 1080 p once you play competitively at 1440 p
I'd reccomend the lg27gn800 if its decently cheaper then the lg850. They're basically the same panel but the stand on the gn800 only supports tilt adjustment
hello! thank you for detailed video about the monitor LG 27GN800-B . I use monitor for video editing and motion design on Adobe After Effects and other Adobe's applications. Are response time and refresh time important for me? Can I choose another monitor which has lower response and refresh time but has pivot to use 90degree and smaller leg.( MSI PRO MP271QP)? THANK YOU!
I would recommend the LG over the MSI monitor. This has a higher refresh rate, and the difference between 60 and 144hz is night and day. The response time is also a lot lower on the LG monitor which is really good. Overall I would definitely choose The lg27gn800 over the MSi mp27qp any day unless you absolutely need the rotation.
This was a pretty good review really good quality, good montage and a lot of information, but I saw you have an Xbox series x why didn't u show if the monitor is capeble to do 1440p 120hz with VRR on ? Otherwise good work
How well does this monitor handle downscaling to 1080p? Looking for a monitor that runs a higher resolution so I can play single player games on it but 1080p for multiplayer thanks
@@BigRobMC I’m gonna do a lot of my gaming in 1080 too but I really wanna play games like God of war Ragnarok in 1440p so I think I’m gonna get it and see if the downscaling hopefully isn’t bad
@@theSpidey_10 yea me and you share a common interest, I just didn’t really want to risk it. However, I guarantee that the downscaling isn’t as bad as people make it out to be it’s probably pretty good so good luck bro.
PS5 at the moment doesn't support 1440p resolution. Save your money for now. Also a lot of monitors sell themselves as HDR but they're fake HDR. As of right now TVs are better for consoles. The only upside i can think of is better response time compared to TVs
@@ZkM24 I actually not too long ago connected my PS5 to it and played Ragnarok and did not enjoy it. That was just personal experience though. The monitor is superb for my PC I just didn't like the PS5 on it ironically
I didn't understand the part about the G sync, so it doesn't has it but is g sync compatible. What is the difference? and how does it affects frame rate?
it doesnt affect it all. thgats why almost none of the newer monitors are trully gsync certified cause the diference betwenn it and gsync compatible is almost zero. but costs a tonn of money to as a feature on an display so manufacters are starting to not implemnt it and go for freesync or gsync compatible insted
Hi man, awsome video! Could you tell me what the difference between LG 27GN800-B 27 and LG 27GN800P-B 27 is? Very important.I'm before buying it ! I would really appreciate if you could answer me this question! Regards: a subscriber

Hello! Can you help me decide should I pick 27gn800 or the 27gp850? From where I live, this monitor costs $292, whereas the 27gp850 costs $384. I only use it for coding and gaming so no color accuracy is not that important.
Can you tell me what settings I should set for my xbox series s? I'm not satisfied with the resolution or the framerate. It doesn't feel like it's actually on 120 frames and 1440p.
hi this monitor sometimes reflects in the middle (vertical strip in the middle) and I see a partial reflection. When I restart this goes away. Any idea why this might be happening I checked its not because of any screen split settings and I am not using screen split. Any idea? Thanks
is there any disadvantage to using a custom refresh rate as a setting??? My LG Monitor supports 144HZ but max I can change to is 120HZ because it is not showing an option to change to 144HZ but after using a custom refresh rate It worked

Edit 2: I saw the 850-B video right after this one so I’m getting that one.
Best tech RUclipsr on the platform! No doubt
Yo, thank you so much!!!

@@TypeCTechReviews hi, i brought it but it looks like it has floss on it when wed browsing
I trying to find out if this monitor has built in speakers ? What audio options are there? Any and all advice is appreciated. I am brand new to the computer world.
great review thanks
I have one it's good as I got it on sale for 230 a year ago I use it as my 2nd monitor and I think it's great for the value
Does this monitor have the same type of 4k downscaling to 1440p as the LG 27GL850-B ?
Nice review, rly well done.
Love the review, definitely consider this monitor! Are there any else lower than 300$ which you would recommend?
thers an AOB bk something with almost the same specs . the main diference is the 165hz refresh rate and HDR ready on it. where the lh as 144hz and HDR+HDR10. but other then that they are very similar. the aoc as a better stand with height and swivel adjust and the lg as only tilt. they are the exact same price.i like the aoc most but the feauters of the lg are superior.
That keyboard at 7:40 looks dope! What is it? I love the acrylic/see through aesthetic, especially with variable RGB lighting!
do these support bluetooth headphones? i appreciate the rest of this great review but just wondering why the audio portion isn’t mentioned
you didnt see or lesse right. when in the video part the guy shows the back conections he clearly mentions the 2hdmi and 1dp ports and headphone out conections.
so yep it can geve you audio out via 3,5 audio jack directly to headphones or to an amplifier or receiver.
Does this monitor have PS5 downscale feature from 4K to 1440p?
Yep works very well
Will the g-sync be on if I connect the monitor with an Hdmi cable to my laptop? Or this works only with a display port cable? Because someone said it works only with the display port and not with an Hdmi
this bad boy is selling from 250$usd. LG is back. this is the best deal today by far.
Good review brother.
Thanks!
What do you think of the screen quality like the colors the contrast
I am so confused between LG 27GN850-B and DELLS2721DGF, I like to watch hdr content on RUclips and NETFLIX, and play hdr games.
I have Hp omen 15 gaming laptop with rtx 2060, so i wanna connect my laptop with hdmi to one of this monitor.
Which one is better for me?
please someone help me;))
Thanks;))
Bought mine a week before Black Friday because Amazon felt pressured by Media Markt discount week to drop prices as well, so I got it for a good price, while it is an amazing monitor I got some recommendation, I got a 5700 bios Flashed to an XT, when I tested out MBR my driver kept on crashing several times within an hour, it doesn't do that when using Adaptive, also, a good thing is the Monitor comes with a Display Port cable, so you can immediately go ahead and enjoy the 144hz.
It's a good Monitor but honestly, the only downside is the HDR experience that is not good.
@@By_and_Down Can't answer that since I never used the Stand, I have mine mounted on an Arm
hey man, hows the colors, brightness /
what a great review
What do you think about LG 32GN650 which is having a VA Panel ... Will it have more flickering issues or light reflection issue .. Please suggest as I am thinking to go with it as it is a 32 inch monitor
Just a heads up this monitor is on sale on Amazon for $276.99! I grabbed 2!
Nice i think ima upgrade from a hp omen 25 1080p tn
Thanks for the review. Would I be able to get 1080 120hz from an xbox series S over hdmi?
Yes, you can get 1440p at 120hz through hdmi on this monitor actually!
@@TypeCTechReviews awesome thanks for the info. I want to get a xbox series s and I believe in WZ it can only do 1080 120. I’m sure it will look just find
Mines isn’t working on hdmi
I can't make a decision. This or the smaller one 24 inch 1080p
Same
I have the smaller one, i think 27 inch 1440p is the way to go
Thinking about getting this for my ps5 is this a good buy or should I look for a different monitor
I like mine, but I just turned it on yesterday and got a black screen with grey/white vertical lines going down the middle and far right of the screen. Pulled the power plug and rebooted it and it was fine, kind of odd though.
update?
@@DimzReacts Hasn't happened since, so perhaps it was just a one time anomaly.
Any dead pixels?😊
@@nolifezay4636 Nah so far so good.
It’s a known problem with monitors that have BOE panels in them. Honestly, I think LG should just use their own ips panels in all of the monitors they make…
Bought this through your affiliate link. Thanks for the review :)
How is it so far ?
@@thage0 no complaints. Very good monitor nice colours and doesn't get insanely hot like my last one. One of my favourite things about it is the crosshair function. If a game doesn't have a crosshair you can toggle it on in the monitor menu.
@@nexus8516 what’s the crosshair?
@@thage0 small red or green dot or cross in the middle of the screen to aim with. The monitor overlays it over the game.
I've had this one for a year now, it's just great, but be warned you can make the display look shitty af by tweaking settings so just pick the right ones
which one do you recommended as setting
what settings do i set??
Just ordered online after watching this review, very good, clear and covered all. Nice work, Also Subscribed!
I am thinking about buying this, or samsung odyssey g5 for the curvature. I can't just make up my mind, does IPS panels really much better than VA? Should I consider the curvature? I am currently using a TN panel monitor so both will be an upgrade for me. If you have any recommendations I would gladly take them. Thanks a lot.
IPS panels are better for video and photo editing as well as design because colours are more accurate. If you're going for gaming i think VA is better, because IPS tend to have lower response times, but again, this isnt really relevant if your going for stuff like editing. VA monitors tend to have lower response times as well as good colors and they are more affordable.
Making it super simple: TN = Bad colours, cheap, low response times. VA = Good colours, affordable, low response times. IPS = Amazing colours, more expensive, low response time.
sorry for any misspeliing i hope I got my point across
Hope you dont buy the g5, worst monitor ever, tons of ghosting no matter the settings you put, if you play fps or any game with dark scenarios the ghosting escalate to wash all the moving sequences, if you gonna use it for media absolute trash, when the monitor try to go from dark to wite you got alot of pixels betwen the change and feels like yo are playing cs 1.6 in 16bits. Ive returned mine and pick the lg 24gn600-b, nothing much to say, such a excelent monitor. Hope this help to the person who got the same issue of what monitor buy, just leave the g5 in the trash were he belong
@@brandoncorona2837 VA has worse response times and way more ghosting. It is horrible for fps gaming, it is more targeted towards watching movies
The brightness flicker kills the VA for me when using Freesync :/
Hey i see there’s also a version without the b any idea of the differences
Great review is this compatible with series x?
Yes, but for console better to get nice tv. I have this monitor and for pc its really good for 350€. But for Xbox I have 55" 4K Sony Bravia and this is night and day difference in contrast and HDR. On this monitor forget about HDR forever. You can do what ever you want but in my opinion (person who have this monitor and 4K 55xe950 Sony Bravia (2019-2020 model) which it's not very expensive tv, better invest the money in good tv for console gaming. There is a big difference believe me. This is only my personal experience and my thoughts about it. You can do what ever you want with your money. I just wanted to share with you my personal experience. If you want invest the money, take something really good for you. Greetings from Italy😉

I recently bought one and unfortunately the monitor has a lot "IPS Glowing" in the lower left corner, but apparently many have the problem with the monitor. Nevertheless, it is a phenomenal Gaming Monitor
great video, but does this also apply to the LG 24GN600-B ? it's about the same i think only the size and resolution that differ
You really cannot trust anything to match. Maybe the menu system is similar. For example, even LG 27GN800 and LG 27GN850 have display panels from different *vendors* (800 has BOE panel, 850 has LG panel) so I would assume 24GN600 has pretty much nothing in common with the panel technology.
I own the GN600 and the 800. Like you said one is 24 inches 1080 p, the other is 27 inches 1440 p.: that’s the difference. It’s a huge difference.all depends on your desk size and what you want for resolution. I love the 600 it’s just hard to go back to 1080 p once you play competitively at 1440 p
bro that guy makes the best reviewes
like fr
which one should i choose ??
benq mobiuz ex2710q or lg 27gn 800
Anyone used this with a Series X? With Warzone or Cold War? Does it output the full 120?
There is a video on youtube of a seriesx at 1440p with 120hz
@@a1exand3r43 With vrr :)
Awesome video!! 👏👏 But still now I’m stuck between the LG27GN850 and this one ☝🏻..
Any recommendations?? 🤔
I'd reccomend the lg27gn800 if its decently cheaper then the lg850. They're basically the same panel but the stand on the gn800 only supports tilt adjustment
Great mustache, good review.
Thank you!
hello! thank you for detailed video about the monitor LG 27GN800-B . I use monitor for video editing and motion design on Adobe After Effects and other Adobe's applications. Are response time and refresh time important for me? Can I choose another monitor which has lower response and refresh time but has pivot to use 90degree and smaller leg.( MSI PRO MP271QP)? THANK YOU!
I would recommend the LG over the MSI monitor. This has a higher refresh rate, and the difference between 60 and 144hz is night and day. The response time is also a lot lower on the LG monitor which is really good. Overall I would definitely choose The lg27gn800 over the MSi mp27qp any day unless you absolutely need the rotation.
This was a pretty good review really good quality, good montage and a lot of information, but I saw you have an Xbox series x why didn't u show if the monitor is capeble to do 1440p 120hz with VRR on ?
Otherwise good work
yes it does.
Would you prefer this one over the MSI g273qf?
Do all these LG monitors have the light working on the back, the big round one? Im getting the LG 24" GN600-B
how does this compare to the Pixio PX277 Prime?
Is backlight strobing working with g-sync and overdrive normal? I hear it can't work with VRR but not sure about G-sync or overdrive.
How well does this monitor handle downscaling to 1080p? Looking for a monitor that runs a higher resolution so I can play single player games on it but 1080p for multiplayer thanks
Idk if you got the monitor or the answer but how is the downscaling in this monitor?

@@BigRobMC I’m gonna do a lot of my gaming in 1080 too but I really wanna play games like God of war Ragnarok in 1440p so I think I’m gonna get it and see if the downscaling hopefully isn’t bad
@@theSpidey_10 yea me and you share a common interest, I just didn’t really want to risk it. However, I guarantee that the downscaling isn’t as bad as people make it out to be it’s probably pretty good so good luck bro.
How do I turn on the backlight of the monitor thank you
Also what keyboard is that?
Great review, this will be my PS5 pick!
PS5 at the moment doesn't support 1440p resolution. Save your money for now. Also a lot of monitors sell themselves as HDR but they're fake HDR. As of right now TVs are better for consoles. The only upside i can think of is better response time compared to TVs
@Bryce Czirr does it have 4K?
@@joshuarivera6460Now that ps5 supports 1440p,do you think it’s worth it to get this monitor?
@@ZkM24 I actually not too long ago connected my PS5 to it and played Ragnarok and did not enjoy it. That was just personal experience though. The monitor is superb for my PC I just didn't like the PS5 on it ironically
I didn't understand the part about the G sync, so it doesn't has it but is g sync compatible. What is the difference? and how does it affects frame rate?
it doesnt affect it all.
thgats why almost none of the newer monitors are trully gsync certified cause the diference betwenn it and gsync compatible is almost zero. but costs a tonn of money to as a feature on an display so manufacters are starting to not implemnt it and go for freesync or gsync compatible insted
