_The Best video I ever watched on Monitors. I used to go for highest refresh rate, not realising that the difference between 144 and 180 is hardly noticiable, and GPU plausibly will not even support 180 htz at high setting. So now one may have reduce game setting to medium or even low just to run it. So what you gain on refresh you loose on video clarity. Always look for balance, between GPU and monitor_
Hi thanks for the review i decided to buy it! Glad you mentioned that it has the ps5 downscale option and generally how it preforms with ps5, not many reviewers do and for someone using both pc and ps5 its very important
Im excited for this monitor! Since its been out a year its now at $350. Im coming from a gigabyte 1080p 144hz monitor so this lg will be a solid upgrade
Grande Carlos, excelente video! Fiz aqui um breve scroll e vi que respondes a bastantes comentarios dos teus subscritores, isso só demonstra o quão empenhado és no teu canal e na relação com os teus viewers. Pois agora tens mais um!👍keep up the good work
Claro! É a melhor parte saber que não estou a falar para o vazio e que estão seres humanos normais algures do outro lado ahah Um abraço e um bom ano 💪🏼
@@carlosribeiroo Já agora uma pergunta, a nível de performance achas o monitor Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A uma boa opção? Provavelmente não o testas-te mas gostava de ter a tua opinião. Procuro um ecran com Hdmi 2.1 para ter o VRR enabled e poder jogar battlefield competitivamemte na ps5 com bons tempos de resposta e sem motion blur. Obrigado Abraço e boas entradas
Pessoalmente não usei esse em particular, mas o meu conselho para fazeres essa escolha passa por isto: - Por esse valor IGNORA qualquer conversa sobre HDR, são sempre péssimas implementações que resultam numa imagem pior do que SDR. - Motion blur será na larga maioria dos painéis (o que falaste inclusive) OK. Nada de espetacular, mas OK. Natureza dos painéis 4k 144hz que estão no mercado por esse valor. - Por último, eu estivesse-se na tua posição a procura de algo por esses valores, tentava encontrar uma televisão OLED de geração anterior em segunda mão, por exemplo. Assim por alto acho bastante possível encontrar algo na casa dos 700 euros, mas depende do espaço físico que tenhas para a por. A imagem neste caso será MUITO superior. O motivo para te ter respondido assim passa muito pelo facto de achar que dar tanto dinheiro por um painel IPS tão pequeno para jogar PS5 custa-me a aceitar. Mas é o mercado que temos e sem dúvida que vai servir bem para o que pretendes se fores por esse caminho
Really useful review subscribed... And snap I also have a PG279Q so nice to know the LG is an improvement. Have it on order... Needed to upgrade anyway as the ASUS is Gsync only and I just replaced my failed 1080 with a MSI 6800xt. Nvidia cards are hard to find at anything approaching a sensible price in UK and the 6800xt + this monitor together worked out cheaper than a scalped 3080 on its own.
Carlos my dear friend, thank you for this exquisit review. I'm wondering, if I play ps5 only and warzone 2 most of the time, what would be the next best thing to this monitor? Is there a similar option with VRR?
Honestly for warzone 2 I haven’t tested the frame rate to see how close to 120fps it runs but if it’s anything like warzone 1 you can probably have a great experience with the 120hz mode even without vrr
Hello I’m from Taiwan thanks for the review i have been hesitant Msi Mag274qrf-qd and lg 27gp850-b but I fineshed listening to your review ,I decided to buy 27gb850 thanks bro👊👊
Hi,I have a two questions,this monitor are the games colorful?Because from a film perspective can’t saw.Another question is how the fps effect of the monitor,I care about that because I almost always play fps type games🙏🙏
Fps games are great on the monitor! And out of the box it is really colorful which for some people it might come out as not super color accurate but if all you do is games you probably will enjoy the high saturation that you get out of the box
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??? 😅😢
Heya, really enjoyed the video, but I have a quick question for you. Would you still recommend this monitor now, or would you recommend something else around the same price? Fellow Portuguese gamer here! 😄
Boas! Já não és o primeiro a fazer esta pergunta e pelo preço continua a fazer completo sentido. Há melhores opções mas tens de gastar mais de 500-600 o que fica proibitivo
@@carlosribeiroo O meu trabalho faz-me ficar em frente ao PC mais de 8 horas por dia e depois há o vício dos jogos, portanto uso não vai faltar para o monitor. Mais uma vez obrigada pela resposta.
I’m currently in a mental battle between Gigabyte G34WQC A-SA vs LG 27GP850-B. My buddy has this monitor and loves it. I’ve got an old dell ST2420L. That doesn’t do my new pc any good. Don’t think I’ll be able to get the calibration done you did. Do you have any experience with these 2 monitors? Thinking about just getting the lg
The upgrade will be massive either way, it all depends on what you value more, slightly larger screen size, ultra wide and slightly more expensive or the much more normal 27in lg that has better potential color accuracy if calibrated but also has better motion because of the faster response times and the higher refresh rates. Very different monitors! If you are worried about colors without calibration, and don’t do any color critical work on the monitor, your will be fine. Out of the box the image is just a little too contrasty and saturated, but if you just want to calm that down just switch to the srgb mode and you will be fine, but for the best of both worlds you have to do what I did in the video
Hey man! AMAZING video! Is this monitor still worth it today? I can get it new for 340 EUR. Only thing I'm concerned about is the contrast ratio? Do games look good on this monitor?
Still use mine to this day and still think it is one of the best valued options since there still is such a big money increase for 240Hz - 360Hz options. Contrast is fine side by side with second monitor that is 1000:1 If you are doing calibration with a colorimeter you can slight increase this 800:1 ratio to around 900:1, but that is very panel dependant
Hey! I got it from Amazon and from a quick search it doesn't seem like they sell this exact one any more. A quick search for "dual monitor mount" will give you plenty of options, and the closest one I could find was this one (www.amazon.co.uk/BONTEC-Ergonomic-Monitor-Screens-Adjustable-Black/dp/B01MR397OH?th=1)
Hi there. This is a really great approach and I enjoyed your review. I am looking for a monitor for gaming on a Series X and also trying to futureproof myself a bit if I decide to get a PC in the future. I don't care for HDR one bit. I mainly play games such as Destiny, Apex Legends and the new Forza Horizon 5 (amazing game btw!). I also very rarely play in a dark room and glare from outside isn't an issue. 1440p is my primary target and I may occasionally play some games at 1080p. Is this still the monitor for me? Will I still be able to get 120+Hz if I'm using it at 1080p? Lastly, are you able to actually change the screen size within the monitor menus? I use a 27" right now but I set the screen size to 24". A lot of questions and I appreciate if you take the time to answer. Also, your cat taxes have increased. I'm going to need more cat content in the future ;)
Ahahaha first of all thanks for the kind words, really happy you enjoyed the video and I’ll make sure I add more cat in the future :) When it comes to the monitor I think it’s a great option for the price that it costs. You can play 1080p 180hz on the pc no problem, on the Xbox I’m pretty sure you can play 1440p120hz but most games that support 120hz are limited to 1080p (which you can also get with this monitor) what you can’t get on console is 4K (downscaled by the monitor to 1440p)and 120hz at the same time (for the very limited games that support it) That final question I’m not sure you can reduce the screen size on the monitor menus at all, so maybe you have to do that via software if possible, but honestly I wouldn’t do that and just enjoy the larger size :)
Hello Carlos, great review. What I cannot find from any review of this monitor yet is, what Windows looks like on it. I ordered the monitor, and I will use it both as a game and work monitor. Only seeing gaming on it. Would you be able to elaborate on this? Thank you.
Maybe I misunderstand your question. Why do you mean by what windows looks like on it? I talked about color accuracy for color critical work and gaming, normal day to day desktop should be the easiest bar to clear and will look good regardless of the color calibration I had to do for video editing work
Hi, Carlos (posso escrever em português? Ainda sem saber a resposta, sigo em inglês rs). What kind of arm do you use for the monitor? Do you hang it on a wall or on your desk through the arm? I'm used to using a laptop, but I've recently decided I should switch to a monitor because I'm getting old and things are getting too tiny for me (and sseing only a few tracks on my DAW in the laptop was driving me insane lol). I've got this monitor now, and I'm trying to find the best possible way to use it on my desk... great video, and thanks for the tips!
Claro que podes falar em português! Neste momento tenho um braço preso na mesa, e diria que são os mais comuns mas melhor que tudo seria mesmo na parede mas muitas vezes envolvem mais logística. O meu braço actual é um da Amazon basics e é bom o suficiente, mas se precisares de mexer os monitores regularmente arranja um que tenho algo hidráulico dentro do braço porque os mais básicos como o meu são mais feitos para estarem parados
One more question what kind of led string you have behind your monitor? Visible at 5:11 for example. It seems to put the same light that exists in the screen, sick
Hi Carlos, very nice video. I bought this because of your recommendation. But i have a big problem to find the right settings. I have horrible eye strain, because the colors do not match... Any chance you could share your settings? Sadly i cannot calibrate it.
Hey! Settings are very panel dependant and will not help much I am afraid, I had a friend buy a similar model and my settings on his panel were unpleasant to say the least. Some general setting you can double-check are, make sure to reset the default monitor profiles, use gamer 1 and in the picture settings use Contrast 70, sharpness 50, gamma mode 2, gamma warm (if you can't calibrate) After all this, if you still find the image too saturated, your next best bet is to try and use a software like "novideo sRGB" to clamp the monitor to sRGB properly and not like the monitor built in srgb mode. Hope this helps
Hi there I looking for information for that monitor and I check your video is the most informative in RUclips now excellent job. I want to know, the PS5 now can operative 1440p resolution you recommend this monitor for PS5? My concern is in 1440p resolution can this monitor to achieve 120fps in game's with this capability? Now I playing in a 4k monitor 60hz but with a TN panel you think in the LG in 2k the picture quality has be better because have IPS panel? Thank you for the grate job you make!
I am pretty sure that monitor is very similar to this one so I think I does have! Make sure it has an hdmi 2.0 port and if it does it is almost guaranteed to do the downscaling that I talked about
The PS5 does not support 1440p. No screen allows the PS5 to output 1440p at any refresh rate. You can do 4K60hz and 1080p120hz with this monitor and the PS5
@@carlosribeiroo how does the 4k on this monitor compare to other actual 4k monitors? Is it the same, similar, or can you tell the difference? I'm asking because I'm a bit scared it won't look as good on the LG monitor since it's not true 4k
@@JG4AU just try it on a game that supports it like warzone for example and you should have a toggle in the game setting to switch between 4k60 and 1080p120hz
Maybe the Samsung odyssey line? Honestly if hdr is your priority most tv’s will give you a better image for the price, hdr monitors are still either terrible or expensive
@@carlosribeiroo nevermind then, thanks for your response, I mainly use the monitor for PC but ocasionally plug my ps5 into it so I just wanted to know if there is such an option :)
Hey! For Warzone (and any COD vanguard) you can either play in 4k60p (with the monitor downscaling to 1440p and looking pretty great) or 1080p120hz, so it’s pretty much as good as it gets to play COD on the ps5 for a relatively affordable price
Hello, please tell me this information - I have 2k 27gp850, I play tanks, the system gives me a stable 250fps, this is what is best with G-sync and lock 161Hz or disable G-sync and lock 220 fps and play, I need your professional advice .
Olá Carlos! O monitor continua a ser uma boa compra neste momento? (Apenas para jogar PlayStation 5 / Ver Netflix). Vi que está a 300€ em algumas lojas e ainda oferecem uns phones da Razor. Ou aconselhas algo melhor pelo preço? Abraço e continuação de bons videos!
Oi! Na prática nada mudou nos últimos meses. Continua a ser uma boa opção pelo valor. O maior compromisso continua a ser hdr que se jogares numa televisão será substancialmente melhor, mas se o budget são 300 euros não há televisão que encaixe
A escolha seria sempre um monitor! Era jogador de Cod competitivo e agora jogo maioritariamente FIFA, não consigo jogar numa TV! Claro que o ideal seria um monitor com 4K e 120FPS mas são muito caros. É esperar para ver se a Sony lança suporte para os 1440p num futuro update. Então por 300€ este continua a ser a melhor escolha? Obrigado pela resposta! Abraço.
A questão do suporte para 1440p só é relevante se houver jogos que suportem a resolução, porque a maioria dos monitores que tem portas hdmi 2.0 suporta downscale portanto para a ps5 este monitor suporta 4k60 e 1080p120. Por 300 euros é uma óptima compra. Para jogar fifa mete o modo de overdrive do monitor em normal e não em fast como eu tenho na review, em conteúdo 60fps tem ligeiramente menos blur.
Uma última questão Carlos: Eu estou a ver o monitor na PC Diga e o modelo que estão a vender é: Monitor LG UltraGear 27GP850-B Sabes a diferença entre o do vídeo e este com o "B"? Obrigado.

Hi I am debating getting this monitor for my PS5 to play COD at 1080p@120 and Spiderman at 4k@60, but I have heard 1080p on a 1440p monitor looks bad and blurry. Have you experienced this?
It’s fine in this monitor and 1080p 120hz on cod looks about as good as on any other monitor from what I can tell, and 4K on it looks pretty crisp given that it downscales the image from 4K
Just use the “normal” option on the motion smoothing options since for anything 60fps that will result in the least ghosting and for 120hz it’s very close to the fast option for it to be worth it to constantly change back and forth. Also avoid hdr, it’s really not worth it with this monitor and it will only make the picture look less saturated and overall worse then with the normal gamer 2 profile
Hey! Honestly there isn't really anything to show. It now supports 1440p and hopefully in the future more games will support that resolution natively but for now everything stays pretty much the same
Currently the ps5 already supports 1440p natively but even if you are playing games that don’t support that resolution, either the monitor or the ps5 will fit 4k to the monitor available pixels creating an image that is really really close to native 4k at a normal viewing distance
Hey! So for the ps4 pro it will be pretty great since it will be very similar to the ps5. The console will see the monitor as a 4k60panel and downscale the ui and games to whatever resolution necessary resulting in a pretty good image. As for the switch honestly I expect the same to be true but I have no experience with it so there maybe something I’m missing there. Thanks for stopping by :) happy to help!
@@carlosribeiroo Update, the monitor is NOT compatible with PS4 pro! 1080p games look blurry and many games appear stretched or zoomed in (especially retro). I bought one and ended up selling it 40% cheaper than I bought it just to get rid of it. It's an absolutely fantastic monitor but only for pc. Edit: plain and simple, 1080p content can not upscale properly in a 1440p panel!
Did the ps4 pro detected the monitor as a 4k monitor? Because that’s what the ps5 does when plugged in to it and the image is then downscaled. I expected the ps4 pro to do the same since it also has a hdmi 2.0 port
@@carlosribeiroo Yes it did, but the result was awfull both for 4K and 1080p games. I have now returned to my 12 years old 1080p led TV and everything looks perfect again. For the PS4 pro you only have 2 panel options , 4K or 1080, It doesn't support 1440p resolution.
Yes, one the pa5 you can’t use 1440p as well, but when selecting 4k it worked pretty well giving a sharp output in every game I have tried which is very different from what happened to you
I want to upgrade to a dual monitor setup I currently have the LG27GL83A-B for my ps5 and pc do you think the LG27GP83B-B would be good or should I go with a 1080p 240hz monitor or higher
Honestly 180hz feels like plenty in a panel that has fast response times like this 27gp850 so my advice would be to not go with any 240hz option out the currently, unless you have to money to go for the asus pg29qm
@@carlosribeiroo I ordered the monitor thanks to you but my last question is will I be using the monitor all the time oc to 180hz or be switching back to 165hz and what dual monitor stand do you recommend
I have mine set to 180z all the time and it’s great that way. I use an amazon basics monitor arm that was around 30 euros and works decently well. If you are going to be moving your monitors regularly go for an arm that has some sort of hidraulics so that it’s easier to move and lock into position
Hi, I doubt you will answer my question since you released this video over 2 years ago, but right now I'm trying to figure out which monitor to get; this one, or the Dell G2724D I only play on PC but I use it for everything. The Dell has a Local Dimming feature, but it's not very good and it cannot be turned off when using HDR. That one also has a better stand, but for some reason it's also much more expensive where I live, exactly the same price as the LG one. I've seen that this Dell monitor is much cheaper in the US.
Hey! Of course, I will reply :) From all that you said, I have some advice. First forget HDR. It is incredible tech OLED monitors, but there are ZERO monitors on this price range that have anything remotely close to passable HDR, no matter dimming zones or not. Secondly the LG is still a solid option and I still use it to this day, but for less money you can get some pretty interesting options these days. I have seen a fair few videos on monitors from Koorui (Optimum tech and techless have made some reviews) and they seem like incredible deals for this category. As for the Dell you talked about I haven't seen anything regarding it, so I can't really comment too much but from what I can tell it looks similar to the LG so you probably are fine with that option as well but can't really help much with anything more specific since I haven't tried it
Hello really hope you can help. Confused between this monitor and the 27 GN800-B for my ps5 Also many people are telling me that its not worth getting 1440 p monitor and instead get 1080p is this true?
I have no experience with the that particular monitor but from a quick google search it looks very similar to the one on my video, except with slightly lower refresh rate, which for console use is irrelevant. As far as 1440 vs 1080p for console use there will be a difference but maybe not the one you are expecting. From a normal viewing distance, 1080p or 1440p can look fairly similar. However with most 1440p monitors you will get a hdmi2.0 port that can downscale the signal to the monitors resolution. Your ps5 will see the 1440p monitor as a 4k capable display, and the monitor will scale down that 4k signal to 1440p resulting in a sharper image very close to 4k in a 27” monitor. You will also get access to 1440p natively for games that support that resolution and up to 1440p 120hz
@@carlosribeiroo the only difference i have seen is that the GP850 is nano ips LCD while the other one is just IPS lcd and the gp850 is brighter quite confused really hope u can suggest something
Just recently I had a friend asking me the same thing and he ended up buying this same monitor for slightly more money then I paid almost 2 years ago. Truth is if 1440p high refresh with good motion quality is what you are looking for this is still one of the best options for this price. 240-360hz options are still a fair bit more expensive and harder to justify the expense
If you simply search on amazon for "dual monitor arm" you will find countless that look identical to this as I can't even find the exact model that I bought years ago
Nice video....i got the samsung odyssey g5...and i saw i ghosting with fifa 22 on ps5....do you think this monitor its perfect without problem like ghosting or something? Or better buy the lg27gn950?
Lg made minor revisions hence the different name, but it is still the same monitor. Still is a solid option for the price for ps5 and pc gaming. The ps5 now natively supports 1440p making it even better supported by that platform since the video was made
@@carlosribeiroo Hi Carlos, do you have specific settings to recommend on both the monitor and PS5? I am not sure how to get the best out of this monitor for PS5 after just ordering it!
@@Bannerzz96 the ps5 will take care of its own settings for the most part, just make sure you set the monitor to the gamer 1 preset with gamma 2 and don’t use hdr as that is unfortunately not good at all in this monitor
Bought the 27GP850-B it could not do 180hz, changing any of the adaptive sync settings made the screen go black, turning motion blur reduction on made the screen go black, while trying to change the 180hz it suddenly went down to 120hz and would not change back to the default 165hz. Returned it right away i cant imagine how this thing got through QC testing with so many defects ?
I got the 32 inch version yesterday and i can set it to 180Hz without a problem. I use a high quality DP 1.4 cable from Club3D. When the monitor is stuck on 120Hz than you probably use an old cable with not enough bandwith or your cable is just terrible quality. Issues like this i only saw on cheap cables with terrible shielding and cables for lower standards. I also highly recommend to not use the included cables. They are cheap bad quality cables and it is a hit or miss to get the monitor working with them. The first thing i did with every monitor i bought is to throw away the included cables.
Hey! Those settings will be wrong for your panel. I know this was not what you wanted to hear but even between my panel and a friend of mine the settings were WILDLY different. My monitor is accurate with RGB values very close to 50 but on his they were all around 45.
To fix the color issues, did I understand correctly that you re-calibrated the sRGB profile for sRGB and some other profile like Gamer 1/2 for DCI-P3? So then you use Gamer 1/2 for HDR content and sRGB for SDR content?
Hey! Here is what I did. I calibrated the gamer 1 profile for dci p3. This results in both accurate srgb and dci p3. The way the default srgb profile works is that it simply removes the very edges of every color resulting in a more desaturated picture, more accurate then the default gamer 1 profile, but still not correct. The main issues with the gamer 1 profile out of the box is that colors close to red like oranges are set to red, that happens due to the lack of calibration and is something that every monitor with wide gamut support will suffer from when displaying srgb content (which is pretty much all online content) Color is a difficult subject to explore given how complex it can get but hopefully this helped you out!
It’s almost a perfect solution and the final profile only ends up with slightly over saturated reds when displaying srgb content, something that you can easily work around given how small that oversaturation is! It was truly night and day after calibration and I can definitely see people getting disappointed if they do color critical work and never calibrate this monitor!
Hi, thanks for the review. I’d want buy this monitor for my Ps4 slim, for now, because at December I’ll buy a gaming pc. My question is: How it works for ps4 slim?
Well from what I find online the PS4 Slim has an HDMI 1.4 port which makes the downscaling part that I talk about in this video not work with it. With that said the PS4 slim will work with the monitor but it will most likely be limited to a 1080p output which isn't ideal for a 1440p monitor and you will get a blurrier image then you would if you simply connected the PS4 to a native 1080p monitor. So my advice if you are planning on using the PS4 Slim and the PC on the same monitor is to go with a 1080p one. The only Playstations that support the downscaling like I talked about in the video are the PS4 Pro and the PS5 since only those ahve HDMI 2.0 ports which are a requirement for this feature
honestly I haven't really looked at 1080p monitors for a while so I can't really give the best advice, but the LG 27GN750 looks pretty similar to the monitor I reviewed in this video appart from being 1080p and 240hz. But browse some reviews! Maybe you can find something that fits your needs better
Hello, i hope you could help me I got the 27gp850 for my PS5. I later discovered that it only supports HDMI 1.4, not 2.0. This makes it impossible to play at 120Hz in PS5. How can I play at 120hz on my PS5? Thanks in advance
Carlos, how is the IPS glow on your unit? I'm returning it because the IPS glow on mine is horrible on the left side and not only in black scenes. Even cycling throughout colors when testing/looking for dead pixels, the left side is more brighter! Really disappointed.
Hey! I had 2 monitors and ended up returning one because of something similar. So if you are not happy with your current maybe look into exchanging it since they are no all bad in terms of backlight bleed
Boa tarde Carlos, muito obrigado pela review, acabei de aquirir um monitor igual mas nao possuo a ferramenta para calibrar, será que pode enviar as configurações?
Posso sem problema, mas mesmo sendo exactamente o mesmo monitor nada garante que os resultados seram corretos para o seu monitor. No monitor em si a unica coisa que foi mudada ao perfil Gamer 1 foi na tab R/G/B onde os valores ficaram em 47/50/46 por esta ordem. No que toca ao IC profile no displaycal deixo aqui um link que vai estar disponivel durante 7 dias para o meu perfil we.tl/t-nSnPmybbfk. Mas mais uma vez digo, apesar de ficar melhor do que sem qualquer calibracao, muito provavelmente vai ficar incorreto na mesma

Most music is from their LoFi and synthwave playlists. Can’t remember the exact name of the one used on this video but if you search for a bit you will find it there
What do you think about 32GP850? Is it good for PS5? I usually play racing games and I was looking for a monitor 32" to play at 1080p 120hz around this price. Thanks :)
I have the 32GP850, and it works perfectly with the ps5. I also play on oc, so no issues at all. I will say one thing, it does have a alot of ips glow, but it all depends on the if you win the panal lottery. Its a great montior for the money man. You should try it out.
@@Pinkfloyd1173 thanks man! I bought it and I'm enjoying it. I struggled at the beginning because I had to gain space between the wall mount and the monitor otherwise there was no chance to connect the cables. I don't think was a great LG's move to put the connectors right next to the wall mount plate. Just my opinion. By the way I fixed it and that's great :)
@@craiyohnNo, not really. The only advantage of leaving the downscaling to the monitor is that your screenshots and video recordings will be 4k instead of 1440p, but that is about it. Haven't thought about this small difference till your question but honestly don't overthink it, either option will result in a very similar final image :)
Hello! Is this monitor good before calibrating and out of the box for editing? At least good enough if not excellent. Would you recommend it for mild editing and not intense colour sensitive media creation?
Hey! Well out of the box using the gamer 1 profile the monitor is using a dci p3 color profile meaning that content in the srgb (basically most things online) color space will look extra saturated. You can either use the stock rgb profile on the monitor to make this issue go away but the picture will look worse in comparison I can also send you my icm profile after the calibration which was made for my exact panel and will potentially look of if used in another monitor, but it can be a great way to improve color with minimal effort for you

@@ducoteaw Hey! Most of the settings changed are very panel dependant and are very likely to do more harm than good when it comes to your particular panel.

I don’t have the original color profile but my monitor settings are gamer mode 1 with gamma 2 and color temp on custom with 47 red 50 green and 46 blue. But all monitors are different so not sure how much help this would be
Maybe it’s a cable issue? The monitor supports downscaling from 4k that’s why it displays that, but the cable needs to be at least hdmi 2.0 compatible. Also recently the ps5 added 1440p support natively which if enabled is a great option for most games as well
If you are finding both monitors at the same price I would go for the LG for the slightly higher refresh rate but more importantly for the cleaner motion caused by the better tuned overdrive options. But they are both really similar products
I have not tried that monitor so I don’t know what you expect of me. From what I know they both support the ps5 and they both support 120hz on the ps5 at 1440p
Well, most importantly if you don't notice anything weird just by looking at it don't worry too much. Every display has imperfections, no matter the model or brand, so if you are happy with the image on yours just enjoy it and go play some games :) If you really want to check it out, on this model it is more easily seen when the display is completely black and you can see that the edge of the monitor is brighter then the center, this is normal to all IPS monitors. What can happen sometimes is that this glow can be uneven or even slightly color shift to either blue or yellow. But like I said, if you can't spot it during daily use don't worry about it :)
Im a bit confused online it says u need hdmi 2.1 to enable vrr on the ps5 when using a monitor and this specific monitor won't do vrr on the ps5 can u clear this up for me since there's a new 1440 update coming soon I was interested in this specific monitor but if vrr don't work
It will be some testing to be 100% sure that vrr will work on this monitor with that new update, once it’s released I can test it but currently the ps5 does not support vrr when connected to this monitor
PLEASE HELP: I just bought this monitor for my PS5 however I’m only getting 60hz. How do I get 120hz? I’m seeing I need to turn off GSync but I haven’t got a PC to download the control panel to turn it off. This is really bothering me, someone please help.
You only get 120hz with supported games and you have to enable that option in game as well, sometimes even change your console preference from quality to high performance. It can also be the cable that you are using. If in the ps5 settings in the supported resolutions tab you see 120hz you will be fine. There is no setting to be enabled on the monitor it self to get it working
How ist it to play with a Rx 570 8gb on it? For example Valo, GTA, Forza, Battlefield? I have a Ryzen 7 1700x Aaaand the monitor is for the Futur too..
The only thing you are missing is VRR since that requires hdmi 2.1 on the PlayStation 5 to work. But you can absolutely turn 120hz mode in games that support it. Keep in mind that for games like ratchet and clank or the new god of war, that have a 40fps mode, that mode relies on 120hz and vrr to work properly and so you can’t use that. But from the top of my head I can only remember these two games that support this mode specifically and for everything else it works well
@@carlosribeiroo thank you for the help yeah I just want a monitor for fps games like cod and story games I’ll be using my Tv so glad to know I can still get 120hz at 1440p with hdmi 2.0
Hi guys .. from few days i see few things on my monitor screen which looks like air filled in mobile scratch guard.. when i rub with cloth it goes but again i see new on some different area on screen. I have video and photo but how do i share here ?
Hey! You are right it doesn’t support those, but it does support downscaling from the ps5 to 1440p which is the next best thing to native 1440p output. A lot of 1440p monitors get stuck with 1080p output from the ps5 which is very blurry when stretched to 1440p
we.tl/t-uOfxps3OKG Available for 1 Week only. Keep in my that this profile is not correct for your monitor. There is usually too much variability for this to be accurate for you, but I hope it helps. It is also calibrated for 200 nits of brightness which is 47/100 on my monitor (this also changes from monitor to monitor but roughly + or - 5 should be 200 nits on yours)
_The Best video I ever watched on Monitors. I used to go for highest refresh rate, not realising that the difference between 144 and 180 is hardly noticiable, and GPU plausibly will not even support 180 htz at high setting. So now one may have reduce game setting to medium or even low just to run it. So what you gain on refresh you loose on video clarity. Always look for balance, between GPU and monitor_
Me and this guy bought the 2 same monitors around the same time lol. Great minds think alike.
Ahahah what a coincidence 🤓
How’s the monitor?
Hi thanks for the review i decided to buy it! Glad you mentioned that it has the ps5 downscale option and generally how it preforms with ps5, not many reviewers do and for someone using both pc and ps5 its very important

@@carlosribeiroo Já agora uma pergunta, a nível de performance achas o monitor Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A uma boa opção? Provavelmente não o testas-te mas gostava de ter a tua opinião. Procuro um ecran com Hdmi 2.1 para ter o VRR enabled e poder jogar battlefield competitivamemte na ps5 com bons tempos de resposta e sem motion blur. Obrigado Abraço e boas entradas
Pessoalmente não usei esse em particular, mas o meu conselho para fazeres essa escolha passa por isto:
- Por esse valor IGNORA qualquer conversa sobre HDR, são sempre péssimas implementações que resultam numa imagem pior do que SDR.
- Motion blur será na larga maioria dos painéis (o que falaste inclusive) OK. Nada de espetacular, mas OK. Natureza dos painéis 4k 144hz que estão no mercado por esse valor.
- Por último, eu estivesse-se na tua posição a procura de algo por esses valores, tentava encontrar uma televisão OLED de geração anterior em segunda mão, por exemplo. Assim por alto acho bastante possível encontrar algo na casa dos 700 euros, mas depende do espaço físico que tenhas para a por. A imagem neste caso será MUITO superior.
O motivo para te ter respondido assim passa muito pelo facto de achar que dar tanto dinheiro por um painel IPS tão pequeno para jogar PS5 custa-me a aceitar. Mas é o mercado que temos e sem dúvida que vai servir bem para o que pretendes se fores por esse caminho
Brilliant video, many thanks.
Really useful review subscribed... And snap I also have a PG279Q so nice to know the LG is an improvement. Have it on order... Needed to upgrade anyway as the ASUS is Gsync only and I just replaced my failed 1080 with a MSI 6800xt. Nvidia cards are hard to find at anything approaching a sensible price in UK and the 6800xt + this monitor together worked out cheaper than a scalped 3080 on its own.
What a coincidence! Enjoy your new monitor!

Carlos my dear friend, thank you for this exquisit review. I'm wondering, if I play ps5 only and warzone 2 most of the time, what would be the next best thing to this monitor? Is there a similar option with VRR?
Honestly for warzone 2 I haven’t tested the frame rate to see how close to 120fps it runs but if it’s anything like warzone 1 you can probably have a great experience with the 120hz mode even without vrr

Fps games are great on the monitor! And out of the box it is really colorful which for some people it might come out as not super color accurate but if all you do is games you probably will enjoy the high saturation that you get out of the box

I’m currently in a mental battle between
Gigabyte G34WQC A-SA vs LG 27GP850-B. My buddy has this monitor and loves it. I’ve got an old dell ST2420L. That doesn’t do my new pc any good. Don’t think I’ll be able to get the calibration done you did. Do you have any experience with these 2 monitors? Thinking about just getting the lg
The upgrade will be massive either way, it all depends on what you value more, slightly larger screen size, ultra wide and slightly more expensive or the much more normal 27in lg that has better potential color accuracy if calibrated but also has better motion because of the faster response times and the higher refresh rates.
Very different monitors!
If you are worried about colors without calibration, and don’t do any color critical work on the monitor, your will be fine. Out of the box the image is just a little too contrasty and saturated, but if you just want to calm that down just switch to the srgb mode and you will be fine, but for the best of both worlds you have to do what I did in the video
Anyone have this for ps5 since the 1440p update? Is it good for competitive shooters
I’m okay with color saturation for gaming. Exactly what I’m looking for lol
Hey man! AMAZING video! Is this monitor still worth it today? I can get it new for 340 EUR. Only thing I'm concerned about is the contrast ratio? Do games look good on this monitor?
Still use mine to this day and still think it is one of the best valued options since there still is such a big money increase for 240Hz - 360Hz options.
Contrast is fine side by side with second monitor that is 1000:1
If you are doing calibration with a colorimeter you can slight increase this 800:1 ratio to around 900:1, but that is very panel dependant
@@carlosribeiroo thank you so much man. Im gettin it!

Hi Carlos! Can I ask the make and model of that mount you're using? Great vid!
Hey! I got it from Amazon and from a quick search it doesn't seem like they sell this exact one any more.
A quick search for "dual monitor mount" will give you plenty of options, and the closest one I could find was this one (www.amazon.co.uk/BONTEC-Ergonomic-Monitor-Screens-Adjustable-Black/dp/B01MR397OH?th=1)
Hi there. This is a really great approach and I enjoyed your review. I am looking for a monitor for gaming on a Series X and also trying to futureproof myself a bit if I decide to get a PC in the future. I don't care for HDR one bit. I mainly play games such as Destiny, Apex Legends and the new Forza Horizon 5 (amazing game btw!). I also very rarely play in a dark room and glare from outside isn't an issue. 1440p is my primary target and I may occasionally play some games at 1080p. Is this still the monitor for me? Will I still be able to get 120+Hz if I'm using it at 1080p? Lastly, are you able to actually change the screen size within the monitor menus? I use a 27" right now but I set the screen size to 24".
A lot of questions and I appreciate if you take the time to answer.
Also, your cat taxes have increased. I'm going to need more cat content in the future ;)
Ahahaha first of all thanks for the kind words, really happy you enjoyed the video and I’ll make sure I add more cat in the future :)
When it comes to the monitor I think it’s a great option for the price that it costs. You can play 1080p 180hz on the pc no problem, on the Xbox I’m pretty sure you can play 1440p120hz but most games that support 120hz are limited to 1080p (which you can also get with this monitor) what you can’t get on console is 4K (downscaled by the monitor to 1440p)and 120hz at the same time (for the very limited games that support it)
That final question I’m not sure you can reduce the screen size on the monitor menus at all, so maybe you have to do that via software if possible, but honestly I wouldn’t do that and just enjoy the larger size :)
@@carlosribeiroo Thank you so much for your response. It helps a lot!

Hello Carlos, great review. What I cannot find from any review of this monitor yet is, what Windows looks like on it. I ordered the monitor, and I will use it both as a game and work monitor. Only seeing gaming on it. Would you be able to elaborate on this?
Thank you.
Maybe I misunderstand your question. Why do you mean by what windows looks like on it? I talked about color accuracy for color critical work and gaming, normal day to day desktop should be the easiest bar to clear and will look good regardless of the color calibration I had to do for video editing work

Hi Carlos, very nice video. I bought this because of your recommendation. But i have a big problem to find the right settings. I have horrible eye strain, because the colors do not match... Any chance you could share your settings? Sadly i cannot calibrate it.
Hey!
Settings are very panel dependant and will not help much I am afraid, I had a friend buy a similar model and my settings on his panel were unpleasant to say the least.
Some general setting you can double-check are, make sure to reset the default monitor profiles, use gamer 1 and in the picture settings use Contrast 70, sharpness 50, gamma mode 2, gamma warm (if you can't calibrate)
After all this, if you still find the image too saturated, your next best bet is to try and use a software like "novideo sRGB" to clamp the monitor to sRGB properly and not like the monitor built in srgb mode.
Hope this helps

Vi que está a 300€ em algumas lojas e ainda oferecem uns phones da Razor. Ou aconselhas algo melhor pelo preço?
Abraço e continuação de bons videos!
Oi! Na prática nada mudou nos últimos meses. Continua a ser uma boa opção pelo valor. O maior compromisso continua a ser hdr que se jogares numa televisão será substancialmente melhor, mas se o budget são 300 euros não há televisão que encaixe
A escolha seria sempre um monitor! Era jogador de Cod competitivo e agora jogo maioritariamente FIFA, não consigo jogar numa TV! Claro que o ideal seria um monitor com 4K e 120FPS mas são muito caros. É esperar para ver se a Sony lança suporte para os 1440p num futuro update. Então por 300€ este continua a ser a melhor escolha? Obrigado pela resposta! Abraço.
A questão do suporte para 1440p só é relevante se houver jogos que suportem a resolução, porque a maioria dos monitores que tem portas hdmi 2.0 suporta downscale portanto para a ps5 este monitor suporta 4k60 e 1080p120. Por 300 euros é uma óptima compra. Para jogar fifa mete o modo de overdrive do monitor em normal e não em fast como eu tenho na review, em conteúdo 60fps tem ligeiramente menos blur.

It’s fine in this monitor and 1080p 120hz on cod looks about as good as on any other monitor from what I can tell, and 4K on it looks pretty crisp given that it downscales the image from 4K
@@carlosribeiroo Cool! do you have any recommendations on what settings to use it with the PS5?
Just use the “normal” option on the motion smoothing options since for anything 60fps that will result in the least ghosting and for 120hz it’s very close to the fast option for it to be worth it to constantly change back and forth. Also avoid hdr, it’s really not worth it with this monitor and it will only make the picture look less saturated and overall worse then with the normal gamer 2 profile
Can you please make a video showing new Ps5 1440p update
Hey! Honestly there isn't really anything to show. It now supports 1440p and hopefully in the future more games will support that resolution natively but for now everything stays pretty much the same
Got it for 280€ on Prime Day, hoping this monitor suits me 🙏
Same lol got it fir only 275€ on the official lg store bc of black friday
Will it downsample from 4k to 1440p?
Hi Carlos, the resolution when playing on PS5 is 2K or 4K? Thanks
Currently the ps5 already supports 1440p natively but even if you are playing games that don’t support that resolution, either the monitor or the ps5 will fit 4k to the monitor available pixels creating an image that is really really close to native 4k at a normal viewing distance
How does it perform at 60hz- 1080p though? I'm about to buy one for my PS4 pro and Switch.
Thanks in advance.
Hey! So for the ps4 pro it will be pretty great since it will be very similar to the ps5. The console will see the monitor as a 4k60panel and downscale the ui and games to whatever resolution necessary resulting in a pretty good image.
As for the switch honestly I expect the same to be true but I have no experience with it so there maybe something I’m missing there.
Thanks for stopping by :) happy to help!
@@carlosribeiroo Update, the monitor is NOT compatible with PS4 pro! 1080p games look blurry and many games appear stretched or zoomed in (especially retro). I bought one and ended up selling it 40% cheaper than I bought it just to get rid of it.

Edit: plain and simple, 1080p content can not upscale properly in a 1440p panel!
Did the ps4 pro detected the monitor as a 4k monitor? Because that’s what the ps5 does when plugged in to it and the image is then downscaled. I expected the ps4 pro to do the same since it also has a hdmi 2.0 port
@@carlosribeiroo Yes it did, but the result was awfull both for 4K and 1080p games.

For the PS4 pro you only have 2 panel options , 4K or 1080, It doesn't support 1440p resolution.
Yes, one the pa5 you can’t use 1440p as well, but when selecting 4k it worked pretty well giving a sharp output in every game I have tried which is very different from what happened to you
I want to upgrade to a dual monitor setup I currently have the LG27GL83A-B for my ps5 and pc do you think the LG27GP83B-B would be good or should I go with a 1080p 240hz monitor or higher
Honestly 180hz feels like plenty in a panel that has fast response times like this 27gp850 so my advice would be to not go with any 240hz option out the currently, unless you have to money to go for the asus pg29qm

Hi, I doubt you will answer my question since you released this video over 2 years ago, but right now I'm trying to figure out which monitor to get; this one, or the Dell G2724D
I only play on PC but I use it for everything. The Dell has a Local Dimming feature, but it's not very good and it cannot be turned off when using HDR. That one also has a better stand, but for some reason it's also much more expensive where I live, exactly the same price as the LG one. I've seen that this Dell monitor is much cheaper in the US.
Hey! Of course, I will reply :)
From all that you said, I have some advice. First forget HDR. It is incredible tech OLED monitors, but there are ZERO monitors on this price range that have anything remotely close to passable HDR, no matter dimming zones or not.
Secondly the LG is still a solid option and I still use it to this day, but for less money you can get some pretty interesting options these days. I have seen a fair few videos on monitors from Koorui (Optimum tech and techless have made some reviews) and they seem like incredible deals for this category.
As for the Dell you talked about I haven't seen anything regarding it, so I can't really comment too much but from what I can tell it looks similar to the LG so you probably are fine with that option as well but can't really help much with anything more specific since I haven't tried it
Thanks!

Buenas una pequeña pregunta este monitor sele puede poner soporte
good stuff
Thanks :D
any chance of posting the color setting values?
msi mag274qrf-qd is the best monitor for ps5 they have a technology from consoles
no, this is better and faster
Hello really hope you can help. Confused between this monitor and the 27 GN800-B for my ps5
Also many people are telling me that its not worth getting 1440 p monitor and instead get 1080p is this true?
I have no experience with the that particular monitor but from a quick google search it looks very similar to the one on my video, except with slightly lower refresh rate, which for console use is irrelevant.
As far as 1440 vs 1080p for console use there will be a difference but maybe not the one you are expecting.
From a normal viewing distance, 1080p or 1440p can look fairly similar. However with most 1440p monitors you will get a hdmi2.0 port that can downscale the signal to the monitors resolution. Your ps5 will see the 1440p monitor as a 4k capable display, and the monitor will scale down that 4k signal to 1440p resulting in a sharper image very close to 4k in a 27” monitor. You will also get access to 1440p natively for games that support that resolution and up to 1440p 120hz
@@carlosribeiroo so which one you recommend i buy then?
1440p just makes more sense these days
the 27 GN800-B is also 1440 p. appreciate your help dropped a sub as well
@@carlosribeiroo the only difference i have seen is that the GP850 is nano ips LCD while the other one is just IPS lcd and the gp850 is brighter quite confused really hope u can suggest something
what monitor would you reccomend in 2023? is this one still good or is there a better one in the same price range
Just recently I had a friend asking me the same thing and he ended up buying this same monitor for slightly more money then I paid almost 2 years ago. Truth is if 1440p high refresh with good motion quality is what you are looking for this is still one of the best options for this price. 240-360hz options are still a fair bit more expensive and harder to justify the expense
@@carlosribeiroo okay thank you! I’ve ordered it
Happy to help :)
@@carlosribeiroo just ordered myself after watching this review, thanks!
Anddd it just went on sale for $300 fml 😭😭
Super way of creating video
How did u fix it to 165 Hz?? Please answer
Olá Carlos. Li Rtings que quando se faz o teste para usar em 1440p a consola simplesmente não reconhece esse formato. Tens algum feedback sobre isso?
1440p suporta sem problema na ps5. O teste nos settings da consola funciona sem problema
What monitor arm is that? Looks very good
If you simply search on amazon for "dual monitor arm" you will find countless that look identical to this as I can't even find the exact model that I bought years ago
Hey! Sorry for bothering you... but i just bought the monitor, can you upload the ICC profile once again? Sorry and thanks!!!
there you go :)

Still worth it in 2024?
Nice video....i got the samsung odyssey g5...and i saw i ghosting with fifa 22 on ps5....do you think this monitor its perfect without problem like ghosting or something? Or better buy the lg27gn950?
Still good for ps5??? It is on sales 200 euro... But the model is 27GP850P-B..... ANY DIFERENCE...???? THANKS!
Lg made minor revisions hence the different name, but it is still the same monitor.
Still is a solid option for the price for ps5 and pc gaming. The ps5 now natively supports 1440p making it even better supported by that platform since the video was made
@@carlosribeiroo Hi Carlos, do you have specific settings to recommend on both the monitor and PS5? I am not sure how to get the best out of this monitor for PS5 after just ordering it!
@@Bannerzz96 the ps5 will take care of its own settings for the most part, just make sure you set the monitor to the gamer 1 preset with gamma 2 and don’t use hdr as that is unfortunately not good at all in this monitor
Hi Carlos I’m going to buy it today can you send me a link of it from where I should buy I don’t want to make any mistakes
Hey! I bought mine on amazon.de but it depends where you live.
Bought the 27GP850-B it could not do 180hz, changing any of the adaptive sync settings made the screen go black, turning motion blur reduction on made the screen go black, while trying to change the 180hz it suddenly went down to 120hz and would not change back to the default 165hz. Returned it right away i cant imagine how this thing got through QC testing with so many defects ?
I got the 32 inch version yesterday and i can set it to 180Hz without a problem. I use a high quality DP 1.4 cable from Club3D. When the monitor is stuck on 120Hz than you probably use an old cable with not enough bandwith or your cable is just terrible quality. Issues like this i only saw on cheap cables with terrible shielding and cables for lower standards.
I also highly recommend to not use the included cables. They are cheap bad quality cables and it is a hit or miss to get the monitor working with them. The first thing i did with every monitor i bought is to throw away the included cables.
Use display port next time
@@vahidghiasvand9087 is using hdmi 2.1 okay? I’m using a hdmi 2.1 cable however it’s stuck at 144hz
@@angelaguilera600just use the display port, it doesn’t matter if you use hdmi 2.1 on a console it just allows you to get 1440p at 120hz
This monitor only has hdmi 2.0 that is why you are only getting 144hz, you need to use dp
can you share the settings that you arrived while using the calibrator?
Hey! Those settings will be wrong for your panel. I know this was not what you wanted to hear but even between my panel and a friend of mine the settings were WILDLY different.
My monitor is accurate with RGB values very close to 50 but on his they were all around 45.
To fix the color issues, did I understand correctly that you re-calibrated the sRGB profile for sRGB and some other profile like Gamer 1/2 for DCI-P3? So then you use Gamer 1/2 for HDR content and sRGB for SDR content?
Hey! Here is what I did. I calibrated the gamer 1 profile for dci p3. This results in both accurate srgb and dci p3. The way the default srgb profile works is that it simply removes the very edges of every color resulting in a more desaturated picture, more accurate then the default gamer 1 profile, but still not correct. The main issues with the gamer 1 profile out of the box is that colors close to red like oranges are set to red, that happens due to the lack of calibration and is something that every monitor with wide gamut support will suffer from when displaying srgb content (which is pretty much all online content)
Color is a difficult subject to explore given how complex it can get but hopefully this helped you out!
@@carlosribeiroo Yeah it definitely did, thanks :) Good to know you can fix both gamuts in one profile 👌
It’s almost a perfect solution and the final profile only ends up with slightly over saturated reds when displaying srgb content, something that you can easily work around given how small that oversaturation is! It was truly night and day after calibration and I can definitely see people getting disappointed if they do color critical work and never calibrate this monitor!
@@carlosribeiroo Hi Carlos, just bought this monitor, can you send me your configs?
Hi, thanks for the review. I’d want buy this monitor for my Ps4 slim, for now, because at December I’ll buy a gaming pc. My question is: How it works for ps4 slim?
Well from what I find online the PS4 Slim has an HDMI 1.4 port which makes the downscaling part that I talk about in this video not work with it.
With that said the PS4 slim will work with the monitor but it will most likely be limited to a 1080p output which isn't ideal for a 1440p monitor and you will get a blurrier image then you would if you simply connected the PS4 to a native 1080p monitor.
So my advice if you are planning on using the PS4 Slim and the PC on the same monitor is to go with a 1080p one.
The only Playstations that support the downscaling like I talked about in the video are the PS4 Pro and the PS5 since only those ahve HDMI 2.0 ports which are a requirement for this feature
@@carlosribeiroo Thanks for the answer, so can you reccomend me a great 1080p monitor around 300€
honestly I haven't really looked at 1080p monitors for a while so I can't really give the best advice, but the LG 27GN750 looks pretty similar to the monitor I reviewed in this video appart from being 1080p and 240hz.
But browse some reviews! Maybe you can find something that fits your needs better
Hello, i hope you could help me
I got the 27gp850 for my PS5. I later discovered that it only supports HDMI 1.4, not 2.0. This makes it impossible to play at 120Hz in PS5.
How can I play at 120hz on my PS5?
Thanks in advance
You either bought the wrong monitor or are using an older hdmi cable. The 27gp850 is hdmi 2.0 and will work for 120hz ps5
Carlos, how is the IPS glow on your unit? I'm returning it because the IPS glow on mine is horrible on the left side and not only in black scenes. Even cycling throughout colors when testing/looking for dead pixels, the left side is more brighter! Really disappointed.
Hey! I had 2 monitors and ended up returning one because of something similar. So if you are not happy with your current maybe look into exchanging it since they are no all bad in terms of backlight bleed
Is there a blue ray on this monitor
Boa tarde Carlos, muito obrigado pela review, acabei de aquirir um monitor igual mas nao possuo a ferramenta para calibrar, será que pode enviar as configurações?
Posso sem problema, mas mesmo sendo exactamente o mesmo monitor nada garante que os resultados seram corretos para o seu monitor. No monitor em si a unica coisa que foi mudada ao perfil Gamer 1 foi na tab R/G/B onde os valores ficaram em 47/50/46 por esta ordem. No que toca ao IC profile no displaycal deixo aqui um link que vai estar disponivel durante 7 dias para o meu perfil we.tl/t-nSnPmybbfk.
Mas mais uma vez digo, apesar de ficar melhor do que sem qualquer calibracao, muito provavelmente vai ficar incorreto na mesma
@@carlosribeiroo muito obrigado.
Hi there, I just bought this monitor yesterday. Do you see 4 tiny white dots on 4 corners of the bezel?
Yes I am pretty sure I see those on mine
@Carlos Ribeiro Thanks buddy, for the reply.
Hello! Can you please tell me the name of the music at the beginning of the video?
Linked in the description of every video you can find the origin of the music. Most of them are from streambeats and you can find them on Spotify and on their website. Most music is from their LoFi and synthwave playlists. Can’t remember the exact name of the one used on this video but if you search for a bit you will find it there
What do you think about 32GP850?
Is it good for PS5?
I usually play racing games and I was looking for a monitor 32" to play at 1080p 120hz around this price.
Thanks :)
Hey! That is pretty much the same monitor as this but 32” instead of 27” so I would say it’s a pretty great monitor for the PS5
@@carlosribeiroo thanks a lot :)
I have the 32GP850, and it works perfectly with the ps5. I also play on oc, so no issues at all. I will say one thing, it does have a alot of ips glow, but it all depends on the if you win the panal lottery. Its a great montior for the money man. You should try it out.
@@Pinkfloyd1173 thanks man! I bought it and I'm enjoying it. I struggled at the beginning because I had to gain space between the wall mount and the monitor otherwise there was no chance to connect the cables. I don't think was a great LG's move to put the connectors right next to the wall mount plate. Just my opinion. By the way I fixed it and that's great :)
Best settings for this monitor on ps5?
LG pg850 have a hdmi 2.1? I want to get the LG pg950 bc it has the hdmi 2.1, what do you recommend?
The lg 27gp850 does not have hdmi 2.1
If you need hdmi 2.1 just buy the 27gp950
Do you use auto resolution that downscales 4k to 1440p on ps5? Or you manually select 1440 on ps5? Which is better?
More often than not they result in the same final output, it is just a matter of who does the downscaling, the ps5 or the monitor.
@@carlosribeiroo if i leave the downscaling to the monitor does this lessen the load for ps5? Or there's no particular pros on this?
@@craiyohnNo, not really. The only advantage of leaving the downscaling to the monitor is that your screenshots and video recordings will be 4k instead of 1440p, but that is about it. Haven't thought about this small difference till your question but honestly don't overthink it, either option will result in a very similar final image :)
@@carlosribeiroo thanks for the replies!
Hello! Is this monitor good before calibrating and out of the box for editing? At least good enough if not excellent. Would you recommend it for mild editing and not intense colour sensitive media creation?
Hey! Well out of the box using the gamer 1 profile the monitor is using a dci p3 color profile meaning that content in the srgb (basically most things online) color space will look extra saturated.
You can either use the stock rgb profile on the monitor to make this issue go away but the picture will look worse in comparison
I can also send you my icm profile after the calibration which was made for my exact panel and will potentially look of if used in another monitor, but it can be a great way to improve color with minimal effort for you
@@carlosribeiroo Could you zip this on GDrive and share the link, please?
Hey! If you can setup a reminder on your phone and get back to me in maybe 1 month I will be more then happy to get this for you.

But all monitors are different so not sure how much help this would be
How is yours running on 3840x2160 60hz, But when I go to my PS5 and put the same resolution it says not supported? Have the same monitor btw.
Maybe it’s a cable issue? The monitor supports downscaling from 4k that’s why it displays that, but the cable needs to be at least hdmi 2.0 compatible.
Also recently the ps5 added 1440p support natively which if enabled is a great option for most games as well
@@carlosribeiroo I see, Are you using the PS5 HDMI cable or the Ultra Gear cable provided?
Currently I am not using either but the one that came with the ps5 is HDMI 2.1 and will work for this monitor
I m confused between this & MSI MAG27QRF (non qd)..Plz suggest
If you are finding both monitors at the same price I would go for the LG for the slightly higher refresh rate but more importantly for the cleaner motion caused by the better tuned overdrive options. But they are both really similar products
I wonder could i pair this with Lenovo Legion 7i pro laptop and use HDMI 2.1 cable as my laptop have it would i get all 180hz?
That would not work, unfortunately.
Your best bet would be to find a HDMI 2.1 to DisplayPort 1.4 cable!
My friend, the other type of this monitor is 32 inches. Does it work on the PlayStation 5 with a resolution of 2K 120 Hz or not?
I’m am pretty sure they are the same monitor, just one is bigger
I saw her on the rting written 1440p 120hz No 1440p 60hz No but 27 inch 1440p 120hz yes ????
I have not tried that monitor so I don’t know what you expect of me. From what I know they both support the ps5 and they both support 120hz on the ps5 at 1440p

@@carlosribeiroothank you brother
Hi Carlos, how to check Backlight bleeding and IPS GLOW for this monitor? Thank you
Well, most importantly if you don't notice anything weird just by looking at it don't worry too much. Every display has imperfections, no matter the model or brand, so if you are happy with the image on yours just enjoy it and go play some games :)
If you really want to check it out, on this model it is more easily seen when the display is completely black and you can see that the edge of the monitor is brighter then the center, this is normal to all IPS monitors.
What can happen sometimes is that this glow can be uneven or even slightly color shift to either blue or yellow.
But like I said, if you can't spot it during daily use don't worry about it :)
@@carlosribeiroo Sounds great. Thank you very much Carlos for very detailed information. I appreciate your time and help.

You only get 120hz with supported games and you have to enable that option in game as well, sometimes even change your console preference from quality to high performance. It can also be the cable that you are using. If in the ps5 settings in the supported resolutions tab you see 120hz you will be fine. There is no setting to be enabled on the monitor it self to get it working
@@carlosribeiroo I had to enable 120hz in the game settings. Not sure if I’m getting 1440p or 1080p. All sorted though. Thanks
You will get 1440p or 1080 depending on the game and most games will use dynamic resolution to better achieve 120fps

Absolutely! It works great for COD for example
Even if it’s not hdmi 2.1 I’ll still be getting the 120hz at 1440p just making sure before I make the purchase
The only thing you are missing is VRR since that requires hdmi 2.1 on the PlayStation 5 to work. But you can absolutely turn 120hz mode in games that support it. Keep in mind that for games like ratchet and clank or the new god of war, that have a 40fps mode, that mode relies on 120hz and vrr to work properly and so you can’t use that. But from the top of my head I can only remember these two games that support this mode specifically and for everything else it works well

hello sir
You are using the LG 27GP850 monitor right !
I want to ask you, does the VRR feature work on this screen?
VRR on ps5
Is the screen performance good and fast ?
No it does not work for VRR on PS5 since I think you need a monitor with HDMI 2.1 to get that working, and this monitor only has HDMI 2.0
PS5 has no 1440p mode or VRR. So why mention PS5.
Hey! You are right it doesn’t support those, but it does support downscaling from the ps5 to 1440p which is the next best thing to native 1440p output. A lot of 1440p monitors get stuck with 1080p output from the ps5 which is very blurry when stretched to 1440p
Can you upload your ICC profile so I can use for my monitor? Thanks.
we.tl/t-uOfxps3OKG
Available for 1 Week only. Keep in my that this profile is not correct for your monitor. There is usually too much variability for this to be accurate for you, but I hope it helps. It is also calibrated for 200 nits of brightness which is 47/100 on my monitor (this also changes from monitor to monitor but roughly + or - 5 should be 200 nits on yours)
