LG UltraGear Gaming Monitor 27GS85Q, 27 inch, 1440p, 200Hz Overclocked, 1ms Response Time, IPS Panel, NVIDIA G-Sync compatible & AMD FreeSync, Smart Energy Saving, DisplayPort, HDMI

I’ve been using this monitor for almost a week now for my new PC rig. I picked this monitor over others (notably Samsung’s Odyssey G series) as I preferred its minimalist, sleek look. Also, I scoured the internet for opinions on its display and performance - it had much more favourable reviews on its display and price in comparison so I grabbed this while it was on sale (~£250). This was a fantastic purchase and would highly recommend it!Before, I had an MSI monitor at 1980x1080 (full HD). This monitor displays at 2560x1440 (or 2k) and the difference is astounding. It’s great for competitive games especially when utilising the DP for higher hertz; I haven’t noticed any input lag on OW2 and had to adjust my mouse sensitivity as the 180Hz allows for more precise aim. Further, story games like RDR2 feels like a cinematic masterpiece with this monitor. All colours are crisp and the blacks have greater contrast range than what I was used to. Others have commented on the HDR/display quality, but you can easily amend the settings to your preference. I’ve increased the contrast and saturation a little personally.For 27”, the size is great either at a desk or at a distance. The build quality is good too, particularly its heavy metal stand. It’s really easy to assemble and disassemble as no screws are needed. Adjusting the monitor’s height and angle whenever you’d like can be done easily, safely, and smoothly too.Others have talked about having a dead pixel on their display, but I haven’t had this issue with mine. I was cautious and luckily had a perfect display. I would’ve returned my monitor for a replacement regardless.The money was completely worth it here and if I needed/wanted to, I’d grab another one of these for my set up. Great value, functionality, and keeps any game looking and performing at its best.

Absolutely love this monitor. The colours are vibrant, the brightness is great, and the contrast is solid. The display is super smooth and sharp. It does have a little tint out the box but a quick tweak to the R/G/B values in the OSD fixes the white balance. Also love the design, looks very sleek on my desk.There's barely any input lag, and combined with the 180Hz refresh rate and g-sync, it's excellent for gaming.That said, there is a bit of backlight bleed which is noticeable when there's something dark on the screen, although to be fair it's not uncommon for an IPS panel. Overall though, it’s an awesome monitor for the price I paid (about £230).Edit: Go on Settings > System > Display > Colour management and turn off "Automatically manage colour for apps", it makes a night and day difference to the colours.

Absolutely thrilled with this monitor. It worked perfectly straight out of the box – no fuss at all. The resolution and refresh rate are exactly as advertised, delivering a smooth and crisp picture. The biggest upgrade for me has been the colour grading and white balance; it's a huge improvement over my old monitor and makes everything look so much better. Highly recommend!

The monitor itself is amazing for the price, setup was easy and instructions were clear, when you switch it on you have a little joystick type button below to navigate the different modes, but to get the colours, contrast, sharpness and other functions you have to go on LG.Com website and download the on screen app, now the picture quality and graphics are fantastic, you do get a DIsplayport cable in the box as well, refresh rate is really good or if you like playing RPG then expect nothing less than brilliant overall this is a really good monitor, I expected nothing less from LG, but I will say the monitor does not have internal speakers but then I use Bluetooth speakers anyway.

Really, really good monitor. Very sturdy, high level of colour accuracy and functions exactly as it says. Mine came with one dead pixel unfortunately but it's nothing to worry about too much. Would highly recommend this monitor.

I bought this monitor to use alongside my 5070 ti and so far very happy with it.It has gsync build in at an affordable price. A high refresh rate 180hz which in my opinion is more than enough for any game thats not FPS.The power cable being a right angle barrel is a bit of an odd choice and can interfere with display cables so it has to be plugged in at an angle.The colour is what you expect from an IPS and all so support HDR when you requiring better colour accuracy.So this monitor is a good inbetween for gaming and productivity.

Had it for about 2 weeks and the screen went black and the display settings no longer show up. Tried everything I could find online to fix the issue but nothing has worked. I even tried to update the monitor drivers but it hasn’t fixed the issue. Now I’m left with a useless black £180 box that doesn’t do anything. Very disappointed since it’s a well known brand.
