LG 27GN800-B UltraGear 27 inch QHD (2560×1440) IPS 144Hz 1ms Gaming Monitor AMD FreeSync Premium G-Sync Compatible HDR10 HDMI DisplayPort Black

Solid Monitor
This monitor being available right now for <$200 is crazy. This would've been $500+ just a few years ago.I was using a dell 1440p 144Hz monitor for years and this monitor was significantly better. My previous monitor was $500-600 about 6 years ago.I have a 4080 and realized it was stupid to not have a high end monitor so I am now using this as a secondary monitor. I needed a 4k OLED for my main monitor. But I am still happy with this purchase. It still looks great, even next to my oled.

Great monitor for the price, all problems can be worked around
The monitor is great. The stand is what you’d expect at this price, it provides everything it says it will on quality and refresh rate etc. It’s not anywhere near perfect though. Once in a while, vertical lines will appear, and I have to turn the monitor off and on again, which always fixes it. The HDR is awful, truly not worth using. The monitor runs fine, with no other problems in the almost 2 years I have owned it. For $200, I am happy with this performance for this long. And it is still going strong.5 Stars for overall picture quality and refresh rate.4 Stars for the panel itself due to the vertical lines problem, which is temporary, rare, and an easy fix.2 Stars for the stand. It is nothing more than a stand. Literally just there.5 Stars for the look of the monitor itself.4 Stars for overall brightness, never needed more or less than it has.0 Stars for the HDR, it hurts to look at.5 Stars for performance to price ratio.

You get what you pay for
Bought this back in August 2021. Thought it was a great monitor that worked really well! Brought it through its paces, did nursing school work with it, played Apex Legends, Ark, Halo, any other steam game you’d think to play. It was good! until about a little more than a year later, and the screen started to look a little funky. I thought nothing of it, made sure that the monitor temperature was ok (I would occasionally literally put my hand on the front of the monitor to make sure there wasn’t any heated places). So far there was none, but I should have known better. Come to this night, April 19th, 2023, and I’m working on Clip Studio Paint art for one of my friends, and my screen starts freaking out with the big white lines that are very visible as shown in the picture. I’ve turned it off and on again about 4-5 times, even unplugged the display port cord to make sure it wasn’t the GPU (thankfully it wasn’t, goodness), so it got me thinking. Then I noticed that the bottom right portion of the screen was starting to turn from green to black, and made the mistake of touching that part. It was literally like touching a hot part of a stove, yanking my hand away, and proceeded to turn off the monitor for good. I didn’t think that the monitor would malfunction so much that it would start interfering with the pixels and melt the internal side of the monitor. If I had ignored it for much longer, it could have turned from a small bunch of dead pixels to a possible fire hazard from knowing how hot it was. So yes, I am not using this brand ever again, or at least not for a long while until I see reviews that are the most promising for the future. The most embarrassing part with this product? I have 2 other monitors that are Samsung, running 60 hz, one of them going on 12 years (24″ LED Monitor S24A300B) and the other going on 8 years (Samsung S27D360H 27″ Widescreen LED LCD Monitor) and they both are in prime pristine condition, not to mention they have been with me in the trenches going to college, through 3 apartments, occasionally in the back of cars, a moving truck, and back. Understatement to say those two monitors were a steal. Overall, I honestly don’t know if you’ll get what you pay for. Definitely not in terms of monitor quality and life. Nice framerate for 144 hz, but at what cost, haha. Consumers, please be sure to do your proper research for your monitors and choose the ones with absolute solid high rate reviews. Don’t only look at the top reviews, but the most recent to gauge the product and its quality. Watch videos with reviews, check what is the best for your budget. As for me, I do not think this monitor is worth it (unless for some reason it’s almost 50% off). Spend wisely folks!

good price/performance monitor
nothing to complain about with this monitor. It arrived in excellent condition (Colombia) and works amazingly so far. I’m not an expert to give a technical opinion, but from my perspective, it’s more than enough for me. For 189 dls, there was no better option. The only aspect to consider is that you should be aware the factory color calibration is a bit poor, so you’ll need to adjust it to get the best experience. That said, once you get it right, the image quality is spectacular.

El monitor llego dos días antes de la fecha prevista y se encontraba en perfectas condiciones. En términos estéticos es un monitor muy atractivo, aunque cabe destacar que los bordes no son tan delgados como se muestra en las fotos promocionales pues, aunque los bordes físicos son bastante delgados, la pantalla muestra un borde adicional que en conjunto le otorgan bordes negros de alrededor de un centímetro en las orillas superior y laterales, no es un problema, pero creo que vale la pena mencionarlo. En términos de calidad de imagen el monitor es simplemente fantástico, colores super precisos y vibrantes, así como un brillo espectacular, lo uso en un estudio con ventanas de pared completa que dejan entrar mucha luz y no tengo problemas de visibilidad aun con el brillo al 50% por lo que dudo que alguien batalle en este aspecto. Una característica que me sorprendió muy gratamente es el back light bleed o traspaso de luz que es un problema muy común en monitores IPS y que básicamente destruyen el contraste y se vuelven muy evidentes en ambientes oscuros y observando imágenes con negros, los cuales se terminan viendo grises debido al paso de luz del monitor, bueno pues estaba esperando ver el mismo problema en este monitor pero simplemente no sucede, el contraste y la representación de negros es fantástica, rivalizando incluso un monitor tipo VA (en la imágenes muestro una comparativa entre un monitor IPS de oficina que uso como monitor secundario y este lg 27gn800, como se puede observar incluso con una imagen oscura y en un cuarto con poca iluminación, el monitor LG logra mantener negros con buen contraste y al mismo tiempo colores nítidos, fue la mayor sorpresa que me lleve con este monitor y lo que más me impulsa a recomendarlo. Fuera de eso otro punto positivo es el tiempo de respuesta de poco menos de 5ms en el modo “fast” con un ghosting imperceptible, los 144hz y la resolución. Y un último punto en contra es que el soporte es bastante básico en funcionalidad ya que no permite ajuste de altura, ni girar la pantalla, pero nada que no se pueda arreglar con un soporte vesa 100×100. El monitor es altamente recomendable siempre que no pagues más de 300 dlls por él y supero mis expectativas en cuanto a calidad de imagen y contraste, altamente recomendable.

Bought this for our son for his video games and he loves it but it needs a sound bar if you want to hear anything, doesn’t come with built in speakers.
