Description

The LG UltraGear 27GL850-B is a 27-inch flat-screen gaming monitor with a QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution. It features LG’s proprietary Nano IPS panel, which uses a layer of nanoparticles to absorb excess light, resulting in a rich and vibrant color gamut that covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color space. This makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, from immersive gaming to professional content creation.

The monitor delivers a smooth and fluid gaming experience with a 144Hz refresh rate and a rapid 1ms (GtG – Gray-to-Gray) response time. This combination drastically reduces motion blur and ghosting, a performance metric that was previously the domain of less color-accurate TN panels. The 27GL850-B is officially validated as NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and also supports AMD FreeSync Premium, ensuring tear-free and stutter-free gameplay with a variety of graphics cards.

For user comfort and a clean setup, the monitor features a highly ergonomic stand that offers a full range of adjustments, including height, tilt, and pivot. Its “3-side virtually borderless” design makes it ideal for multi-monitor setups. While it does support HDR10, its typical brightness of 350 nits means it can’t deliver a true, impactful HDR experience, but the high color gamut still provides a vibrant image. Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a built-in USB 3.0 hub.
