Review: LG Delivers Much Needed Quality Control to the Realm of 144 Hz, 2560x1440, IPS-type Displays - I write this review as the former owner of 3 Asus PG279Qs and one PG279QZ. I was drawn to this realm of the monitor market because I do not believe that 4K displays are worth it at this particular point in time. As far as I see it, the majority are a compromise as the bandwidth requirements for running 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, an extended color gamut, a refresh rate of 144 Hz and beyond, and a resolution of 3840x2160 all at the same time will be much better served by DP 1.5 or HDMI 2.1 (proper HDR wouldn't hurt either). Although it could be argued that achieving 144 frames at 1440p is more resource intensive than 60 frames at 2160p, I believe the experience to be the most immersive, at least until 144+ frames becomes viable at 4K. Unfortunately, based on the price to performance ratio trend of the current generation of graphics cards (Nvidia’s in specific), it is going to be a long, long time until that is achievable at a reasonable price. All things aside, I can state with confidence that I’ve found my sweet spot for monitors in the form of LG’s 27GL850. It has addressed all of the quality control concerns that I’ve experienced throughout my quest of trying to obtain a high refresh rate, 1440p IPS-type display. Seeing as this is an LG product, the monitor can rightfully be referred to as having an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel as this is their proprietary term for the technology that produces the wider color gamut and viewing angles. I did not buy this display because I am a hardcore gamer; I bought it because I wanted a quality monitor with good color reproduction, a uniform panel, and good response time. My purchase was based solely on the off chance of LG producing a monitor where quality control wasn’t an after-thought. Now that it has finally arrived, I am proud to report that this monitor delivers. The display has zero backlight bleed and excellent uniformity, contrast, and response time. White uniformity is even across the entirety of the screen while the factory calibrated colors appear accurate even next to my calibrated Dell. Outside of sRGB mode, the colors do come off as over-saturated, although some may prefer the added vibrancy of the Nano IPS technology (I did not). Black levels are on par with most other IPS-type displays that I’ve used despite the specified measurement coming in at a somewhat lower figure than similar displays. As for response time, it seems universally accepted by the monitor community that the fast setting is adequate in preventing overshoot. The faster and fastest settings produce undesirable artifacts known as coronas. Despite this monitor not having variable overdrive, I have had no perceivable issues when it comes to gaming as I do tend to binge on CS:GO from time to time. If I had to nit-pick, and I do because this is a review where transparency informs prospective buyers, I will say that the strength of the presence of IPS glow on my display falls on the moderate end of the spectrum. This could be due to the fact the panel is 27 inches, which is a decent amount of real estate for this phenomenon to occur. It is also important to keep in mind that this is something that varies on a per panel basis. Without a doubt, it is a consequence of choosing to utilize an IPS panel for one’s computing purposes. Regardless, it is nothing unexpected or anything that cannot be addressed by adjusting the brightness level as well as the viewing distance, height, and angle. Besides simply turning down the brightness, placing the monitor further away is one way to remedy the matter. Another way to minimize the glow is to position the screen in such a way that one’s gaze meets the center of the screen as IPS-type displays fare better when the height of the top bezel is of equal height or greater in relation to one’s eyes. A final tip is to manipulate the screen’s tilt angle as oftentimes angling it upwards reduces glow. By applying these adjustments, I can easily say that this is overall the best monitor that I’ve used to date. I will not sit here and bash Asus’ most recent iteration of their high refresh rate, 1440p IPS-type display, the PG279QZ, as one can refer to the top review of the PG279QZ to see what types of problems plague those monitors. What I will say is that it’s a breath of fresh air to see that quality control still exists in consumer-grade monitors. Realistically, no manufacturing process is going to produce near perfect monitors all of the time; however, this purchase has instilled confidence in me when it comes to the LG brand. I imagine that this model will provide all disillusioned monitor buyers a glimmer of hope when it comes to having a fighting chance at obtaining a quality monitor in this realm of the market. ***As per a request in the comments, I've attached pictures of the monitor at brightness of zero, 50%, and 100%. I also managed to track down another monitor from Micro Center, so I posted the same array of shots for this sample too. The results were very similar; however, a small circular area of bleed does exist in the top left corner. It is somewhat noticeable on a black screen unless I increase the height of the stand. To identify the pictures of the second monitor, please see the pictures without the headphones in them. Despite trying several approaches and platforms, the photo uploader refuses to retain the sequence in which I had originally ordered them).***
Review: Switched from 4k/60Hz; no regrets - I went back forth for a while on what type of monitor to get. I was coming from a 4k display, but a pretty cheap 60 Hz TN panel that I got on a Black Friday sale years ago. High-refresh 4k panels are too pricey (and I don't think my graphics card could cut it), but I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to trading resolution for framerate. My initial impression after using the 27-GL850-B for a couple of hours is that I absolutely made the right decision. The picture quality blows my old monitor out of the water — the better colors and viewing angles more than compensate for the lower resolution. I have to really lean-in and look hard to notice the pixel edges, and I sit fairly close to the screen. Movies/shows/videos look amazing, as well. >99% of the content I watch isn't available in 4k, anyway, so for those things the monitor is just an improvement in every way over my old one. Screen real-estate is obviously less, though, which, depending on what you do, can impact productivity (which is why I brought the old 4k monitor to the office!). Initial impressions for the high-refresh are very positive. I'd never gotten to use a high+variable refresh rate monitor for an extended period of time, and honestly didn't think the difference would feel as stark as it did. Games like CS:GO are lightning-quick, and even moving the cursor across the screen feels buttery smooth compared to the 60 Hz (probably garbage input lag) panels that I have as my secondary and tertiary displays. Even for non-competitive or not-as-fast-paced games, I appreciate the snappiness over a 60 Hz display. Variable refresh works great out of the box (on Windows 10, at least — intending to test with Arch Linux soon, and might update this review). Some other reviews have mentioned the recessed VESA mounting point being a problem. This recess is 12cm x 12cm and roughly ~0.65 cm deep. I was worried that I was going to run into an issue here, but my monitor stand's (Monoprice #15708) VESA mounting brackets just barely cleared and were able to fit into said recess. I strongly suspect that, even if one's VESA mounting bracket is too large, as long as it is symmetrically so, then one could just use longer M4 screws than the ones provided (this will put extra radial torque on the screws, which screws aren't really designed to handle. In theory, the monitor is light enough that it should be fine, but don't blame me if you break something). Some minor complaints: * Every "preset" other than the default "Gamer 1" preset grays-out many picture options except brightness. For example, if I want to use the clamped-gamut sRGB mode (which is accessed as a "preset" in the OSD), then I'm prevented from adjusting the white point. * I/O (particularly the DisplayPort) is along the vertical center of the monitor, which results in interference between DP cable/plug and my monitor stand. Mine might be an uncommon situation, but it still could've been avoided. * "HDR" support is token.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by F***O on January 21, 2022*

Se ve de maravilla, yo tenía el 24GL600F y la verdad es un mundo de diferencia, los colores son mucho mas vivos y la calidad de imagen también es muy buena. No todo es bueno, hay detalles. El monitor tiene diferentes tiempos de respuesta y el FASTER que viene siendo 1 ms, no lo recomiendo, lo dejaría en FAST que creo son como 3-5ms. También por lo que entiendo es que es compatible con G-Sync pero en si no tiene el hardware para hacerlo. Entonces en teoría tiene 1ms, G-Sync y HDR pero no funcionan al 100%. Que aun sin eso el monitor es excelente la verdad. Para mas información, hay una reseña de LinusTechTips sobre este monitor menciona a todo lo bueno y malo de este modelo.
