Great review. Straight to the point, no bs. I will be getting the LG 27GL83A.
i got the 83A and I love it, unless you need the extra usb hubs don't worry about all the little things, this thing looks amazing.
I got the gl83a and it also has some issues in the bottom left corner. Really noticeable when playing dark games or watching dark movies. It sucks but I didnt want to return it just for that.
@Eren forced me to write this because its 800 dollars and for most people 4k is unnecessary, common sense my guy
I bought both the GL83A and GN850 to test and kept the GL83A. It was $70 cheaper and to me I liked the color better. Mine has zero issues like the one shown in the video.
did u have the same warm white issue he had in the video ? cuz thats a deal breaker for me i dont like this orange white color
This is what a review should look like,straight to the point and no bs! You got yourself a new subscriber,great job
clear to the point, exactly what i was wondering aswell, great content, great quality, keep up the good work!
Is it fast/responsive enough for competitive fps gaming?
@@nubjealvin id say . had mine almost a year (83a) and glad i bought it.
Hoooooww do you now have more subscribers! Concise and straight to the point. No lengthy BS intros or 15 minute video to say nothing. This video was a HUGE help. THANK YOU!
I have to notice two important points:
1) when your monitor is close to DCI-P3 colorspace it will have more 'Right' HDR implementation, just cause a matrix can show colors aren't available for sRGB matrix
2) when you doesn't use drivers and color profiles with DCI-P3 monitor on Windows OS, you can get oversaturated colors, cause color coordinates like RGB: 0;255;0 of sRGB content will be extended on DCI-P3 color space and you will get RGB: 0;255;0 of DCI-P3 colorspace so it will be more rich color, in other words instead of green color you will see rich green. to avoid this issue manufacturers provides build in sRGB Profile in monitor that restricts colorspace to sRGB.
P.S. sorry for my english, can be mistakes
Very nice review I just get confused by the specs of this two monitors, they are pretty much the same, but quite different at the same time, I just ordered the gl83a, keep doing this kind of content. 👍🏻
Good choice!
Does the HDMI to HDMI support the 144hz refresh rate? Unlike the Viewsonic XG270QG
I got a GN850 which is like a mix between these two, how many freaking version of this did LG make?
@@zZiL341yRj736 gn850 is a newer version that comes after gl850. gl83a>gl850>gn850
@@sngmnh Same freaking panel tho.
Both monitors can be raised or lowered but the 850 has tilt capabilities while the 83A does not. Surprised to not hear this mentioned as it is an important aspect for some buyers!
Also just wanted to say I really enjoyed and appreciated this video. A lot of research on your part digging into the weeds and you present it concisely and well.
I’m sure many people would just VESA mount it anyways with their dual setup
And the monitor stands are interchangeable.. so you can use a stand from a GL850b to a GL83A or even the newer versions like GP850b
44 subscribers?? seriously.. you got +1. Thanks for the review.
51 now! Let's aim for 100!
whats very ironic about this review is it came out the same day I bought my 27GL83A, I guess I made the right choice
(1 month update)
Best purchase I've made in years!
just ordered mine yesterday and was kinda worried if i made a mistake, but seems like i made a solid choice.
@AmpEdition just got mine on Wednesday and had a couple days with the monitor and I must say I am very very happy with my purchase and there is literally no backlight bleed like you said and everything is even and uniform.
AmpEdition Yo.. so like if I buy this monitor I would have to buy my own display port? I have HDMI but I heard it won’t work with 144hz with HDMI. Also should I buy warranty plan? Or nawh
@AmpEdition Thanks for the info, just ordered mine today and getting it in a month, the wait is long but worth it :)
where i live the 850 is chepaer so ill get that
I am rocking 2 LG 27GL83A's, couldn't be happier with my choice. I think I got lucky because my monitors are amazing.
How well are they in a dark room? I heard there's a noticable glow and contrast issues in the dark. The main reason why I'm considering the G7 over this
@@dr.lemonpants432 My 83a also has issues in the lower left corner. It kinda sucks but is pretty minor. I would go with the G7.
@@dr.lemonpants432 G7 has flickering problems and honestly color is bad on VAs even if u move slightly, ive also noticed that better so called contrast levels can hinder u alot in MP wen tryin to game in darker scenes, its harder to spot the enemy
wait about the ms time is it at 1? i know they advertise that but don't they have ghosting?
@@oni5909 No, it’s not 1ms, but it is good. The monitors are great.
Dude well done. This was super useful. Good review with relevant points covered without talking about things that don't matter. In fact I was looking for a comparison of these two monitors and the only reason I've been holding off buying the 83A is the IPS lottery. I would really prefer buying the 83A since it's a great display eitherway and the CAD currency makes it a better choice. $459 before taxes currently. But who knows how long it will stay in stock! It keeps going out. I will have to decide soon. I just hate the idea of IPS glow and black blight bleed when I'm coming from a TN panel. I've had an LG 1080p 144hz for years and it's been great. Btw, subscribed, keep it up.
Been watching video for an hour, finally a short, simple, and useful comparison. Keep it up 👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
I wish all RUclips channels were this straight to the point, thanks dude
Just bought 3 83As. I did tons of research and it marked all the boxes. Was 100% sure on my purchase until you said, “panel lottery”.
Haha We’ll see Wednesday.
Thanks for showing the IPS glow. I've never used an IPS monitor before and am thinking of switching to either of these yet had no idea what the glow actually looked like, until now.
That glow as seen in the video is from a camera lens - it picks up lights alot better then the eye. I just got my first IPS screen and to the eye it looks more like a silverish dim glow, not at all like if you take a picture or film it. In normal use I rarely even notice it.
@@Hakkar Thanks for the additional comment!
Exactly the video I was looking for, thank you very much good sir!
Where i live the 850 is cheaper than the 83A so im definitly going for the 850, Thanks for the review
same, just ordered my 850
Same, 359€ on Amazon ( Spain ). The 83A its for 510€ , not worth it.
@@B..2010 do you like it?
@@goldenst14 yeah highly recomend it bud. Had mine for about 4 weeks now and paired with the new series x it looks great
@@B..2010 that’s awesome, exactly what I’m going to do. Do you have any setting suggestions?
Instant sub! We need more content like this on RUclips. Too many reviewers just reading spec sheets and not doing any testing
Thanks for the simple review, this really helped me choose which monitor I should get...
@AmpEdition where did you get it from?
Smart! I'll use the 850 as my primary monitor and the 83A as the secondary!
Excellent review! Thank you so much for this, really helped me make my decision!
Ty very much for your review. You did something that I couldn't find anywhere else. Keep up the good work
Thanks for this, I'm deciding which of the 2 I should buy for 1440p gaming but I also do content creation and do a lot of color grading. Seems like the 27GL850 is more of a future proofing for me so I'll probably go with that one. Cheers!
How is it with you bro im completely confused between these models
Wow great video never expected to find this comparison video great work very precise thankyou.
WTF THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD TYSM
Thanks going with the 83A
Thank You for this great review. Exactly what i was looking 4.
This helps me with my decision I currently have the LG GL850 and wanted a secondary monitor I will go for the GL83A
ugh... thank you SOOO much... between the "OVERSATURATION" everyone talks about and the USB hub that I have no clue what to use for.. I was looking for a reason not to get the 850. Im coming from a basic 1080p 60Hz monitor, $100 n its close to a decade old! If both look virtually the same and the DCI-3 standard is mainly for content creators, then hell yeah its worth saving $110!!! thats like a "25%" off!!
So correct if im wrong though,
83A - For all gamers except the ULTRA picky ones...
850 - For content creators that game
close enough ??
Yup, that's how I would judge them. Honestly, the panels are so similar, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart if they weren't side by side. If I were in your shoes, hell ya, save the money use it to buy some cool RGBs :)
@@ReviewsForLifeYT right on! Bell sub'd ya since i saw this video. Thanks for the good content!
Look forward to watching more of your reviews straight to the point.
Dude you should have more subs, great review! Earned my sub!
Thank you so much for this vid! The GL83A is ~150€ cheaper where I live so after this video, its pretty obvious which one I should buy ^^
Thanks again, liked and subbed :)
Well, I bought the monitor ~3weeks ago and I'm super happy with it :D Works fine, I have no backlight bleeding. One thing though, literally everything recognizes it as the "big brother", LG 27GL850. All the games, even Win10 and the NV driver lol
Overall it was totally worth it and I'm glad I didn't cough up the extra money for the GL850 ^^
@@fynerboi i realized same thing too. At first i thought they accidentally sent me gl850 but gl850 had 2 usb ports mine didn't. my 15 second happines was gone.
@@enesozdemir4085 Yes, that's literally the only difference. They have the exact same panel.
@@fynerboi i was reading the 850 has color issues and needs to be calibrated, but the 83 is good out of the box
@samuel yeet that differs from monitor to monitor. there won't be 2 100% similar panels. Personally I'm using the gl83a for quite some time now without any problem (and did not regret my purchase) ^^
Absolutely everything I needed to know about making this decision. Thanks.
The 850 uses LG's Nanocell tech. The 83A does not.
just got the 27gn850 fir $380 .it's great 👍photo look real and games are amazing 👏 the difference from the "game and gl" models is there is no USB hub and better stand on the "gn" model making it cheaper
Fast and to the point. Good job!
insane review, went with 850 because i think its a bit more future proof+more usb and the green are better. i play a lot of league of legends, and the map is green
Good choice! The usb hub is super useful
Good review. I like my GL850. I want to do like you suggested, and get the GL83A for secondary..
850 is 310 and 83a 247, which one is better just purely for gaming? I don’t want to get something worse tho cuz I want this monitor to last a long time, so would it be worth getting the 850?
I'm getting the GL83A because for 380 bucks you get 1440p and 144hz
Got 2 83As at best buy later year for 250$ a piece they r amazing monitors im trying to sell them cause I want white 1440p 144hz monitors since that's the color theme for my desk setup... But the 83As r well worth it.
what you missed is, the 83a is a standard gamut monitor and the gl850 is a wide gamut (nano cell marketing term) meant for newer 4k hdr content, that needs the extra color space...
This was clearly stated in the video if you bothered to pay attention.
Great video and very informative, thanks!
exelent video, purchase the 83A and i´m waiting to see how it looks like
What's your review on that monitor? and at what price did you get it? I am getting it at $195
@@allisonmarkus3208 195$? My God! When I bought it, it cost 250$, since i am from Colombia it ended up costing me 364$ taxes included, it is a pretty good monitor, the quality is good, it looks nice, not complains at all
This was what I was looking for, thanks a lot. Very clear information
Nice video bro, thank you helped me decide between the two
This is the video i wanted to see, because the 83A seemed like a no brainer for gaming monitor i want, is good to see more details about, but for 60£ difference, maybe is worth to get the 850 rather.
Ayyyy answering my exact questions, thank you.
I got a 27GN850 which is like the 2020 version of this without any USB. The panel does have a bit of IPS glow on the bottom corners. I fine the color red to be super dark and red to almost burning my eyeballs, the blue is more darker like navy blue.
Yeah this is the side effect of extended color spaces with things like nano and quantum dot and so on. My LG gk850f VA panel w extended gamut also has this issue, which is why I am selling it.
Great video! Finally found what I was looking for. Thanks :)
Really good comparison. Right to the point and useful
Quick, easy, and dirty review. Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Very detailed and straight to the point. Kudos!
Great vid man. Exactly what I was looking for
You Deserve to have Millions of subs!
Thank you so much for this I couldn't find this info anywhere
I don't have any issue with LG 27GL83A. No bottom left/right corner issues or other bugs. I have to admin i like monitors with saturated colors but i don't think it is worth to pay 100$ premium for LG 27GL850. Put this money on your next processor or graphic card and you will be happy as never before.
I just did alot of research on these 2, alot of people on reddit have been claiming the 850 has color issues, saying if its calibrated well its decent, and the the 83 is better for gamers and does not need to be calibrated 🤷♂️ idk how true that is
thanks man u convinced me with GL850 soooo much
Great job. Kept it simple and to the point. I like it!
Thank you very much. Great review.
Great review dude, keep it up. Will be subbing for future reviews
just bought the LG 27GL83A for $379 on Amazon
I have 2 of the 83A and there amazing but I'm trying to sell them for white 1440p 144hz monitors cause white is my setup theme.
Finally someone made this comparison. Thank you!
Amazing review - i have been looking and the LG 27GL850 is currently cheaper than than the LG 27GL831A somehow so it's a no brainer - would you still recommend those monitors for there price point?
it was never cheaper than the 831. you must be confused. 831 is 296 bucks while the cheapest 850 is 396. thats a hundred bucks cheaper so yeah, you are backwards
If these are virtually the same price, which would you go with? The 850 seems to make more sense but I heard it was actually worse than the 83A when emulating sRGB, which is how most people would be viewing it. Also most said the 850 is oversaturated. Is there that much of a difference in whites, blacks, and contrast?
Thanks for the comparison
So get the 83A. Got it.
And I don’t normally sub after one vid but it’s deserved. Gg’s
Thx bro, this video helps me a lot to make the choice.
i'm using a curved msi mag27cqr its a VA panel and i find the colors a bit funky. i am thinking of going for the 850b for the nano ips. either of these monitors would probably be better then my msi VA panel
I'm a bit stuck i feel like if i fiddle with settings i could have the gl850-b looking just fine for me but everyone says it's over saturated however where i live it's currently £100 cheaper than the gl83a-b
What about the 27GP850-b? It's a better version?
If I pick the 27GP850-B for main gaming monitor, what second monitor you recomend? My second monitor will be for versatility, reading and watching videos.
the 850 is $399 at best buy while the 83A is $379 on Amazon. $20 difference should i go with the 850 at that point?
I'd go the 850. Think of it this way, you're paying $20 for a USB hub built into the monitor
Its 290 on amazon!
I went with the 850 because it had the extra USB passthrough on the back.
PLEAS COMPARE 34GP83A-B vs 34GN850-B
At 3:12 you mention these are worth getting if color accuracy isn't a primary concern.
Can you recommend any monitors if one is looking for good color accuracy? Preferably also with high refresh rates and 1440p resolution.
Hey bud, can you compare them with the Omen 27i? Great video.
With the 83A monitor 1440p isn’t available on PS5 (yet, I hope) so some monitors can pick up a 4K signal at a lower frame rate. Is this one of them? Heard that the 27GL850 does same as the benq models
Does the HDMI to HDMI support the 144hz refresh rate? Unlike the Viewsonic XG270QG
buddy, for monitors u really want a display port instead of hdmi. U are supposed to uuse hdmi on TV's not gaming mnitors. The displayport that suggest for this monitor is DP 1.2 but if u wanna get really fancy DP 1.3 but whichever one you get, just know that it wont make a differance at all
Great! Thank you!
Can You do A Video Showing how to Updates Drivers to de 27gl83A...It’s tell me the I need a usb cable but I don’t see where can I connected
Aci2DM you can’t update the firmware on the monitor if that’s what you’re asking
Wow Gj, short and clear video thank you you helped me a lot. Do you know any monitor who is an alternative to the Gl850b with the same price? For someone whose most important point is the good Image and colors.
A direct alternative would be the Acer Nitro XV272U Pbmiiprzx.
However, if the fast refresh rate (gaming) isn't important, and color/image is primary concern, then I'd recommend getting a monitor from Dell's Ultrasharp line (e.g. U2720Q). These are often used in commercial applications like film/photography and are known for their consistent image and colors. Happy Buying!
@AmpEdition ok thank you
@@ReviewsForLifeYT thx for the answer I will see
Thank you.
Great video. Thanks.
Straight to the point. Thanks man :-)
oh boi thank youu i waited so long for this
Thank you
Im sad that 83A that I got last week came with a dead pixel right in the fucking middle of the screen..Now its out of stock until december.....But colorwise, it is very nice
I was thinking of getting the 27GL83A but I do need the extra USB ports so I want to buy the 27GL850 but when I go onto amazon and the official LG website the price is not listed with the product.
How come, and when will it be priced ?
Thanks
What about comparison with LG 27GN88A Vs 27GL850?🤔
Great review!
hello Reviews For Life
Reviews For Life what should i choose LG 32GP850-B or 32GP83B-B? thanks
Hey thanks man
How the gl is compare to the newest gp850
I play warzone with the 850. When i enable 10bit it seems to add input delay . Is that possible ?
Great video!
Your the best man 👍🏽
Nice review!
