Get the ultimate gaming monitor. Discover the features that make LG's Ultragear an innovative collection, a game changer. Learn more about LG's gaming monitors& their features.
IPS-skærme: IPS-computerskærme har skarpe farver, reducerer farvetab og hjælper med at holde farverne konsistente i stort set alle vinkler. LED-baggrundsbelysningen leverer dybe sorte nuancer, rige farver, en fantastisk kontrast og høj farve detalje. Moving into color performance now and like LG's previous Nano IPS displays, the 27GP850 also comes with a rated 98% DCi-P3 coverage, which in our testing measured in at 96%, among the best coverage of P3 that we've measured. Based on our analysis, the Gigabyte 27" M27Q X and LG 27" 27GP850-B monitors both have a resolution of 2560 x 1440, which we found was excellent for gaming. To be clear, it doesn't need that higher refresh rate to be better, even comparing 144Hz to 144Hz, the 27GP850 is better in terms of response performance, a product of tweaked and improved overdrive modes. When looking at cumulative deviation, we do see an improvement for the 27GP850, it now sits firmly among those new IPS panels we've just been talking about, although not generationally ahead. In comparison, last-gen versions like 27GL850, S2721DGF and AG273QXP all sit in the 580 to 540 range in this metric. So the 27GP850's result of 521 is in the range of 5 to 10 percent better, not a huge improvement but decent for what appears to just be overdrive tweaks, rather than an entire overhaul of LG's IPS technology - and it's doing this without variable overdrive.In our years of working with monitors, we've observed that a monitor's refresh rate is a critical factor in determining its overall performance. Refresh rate refers to the number of times the display updates the picture being displayed per second. A higher refresh rate means the screen is updated more frequently, resulting in a smoother, more fluid motion and less motion blur. Like with LG's previous display, there is also a crazy fast "Faster" mode which is designed specifically to hit a 1ms response time. The best result we achieved is 1.25ms, so that claim is accurate, however it's in a largely unusable mode due to its inverse ghosting. Overshoot is significant, and while the average response has improved to 2.88ms, cumulative deviation is higher in this mode compared to the previous mode, indicating the balance of performance has swung too far into the "inverse ghosting" zone.

Updated to Test Bench 1.2, resulting in changes to the results and scores with the Response Time and Input Lag. Added tests for Console Compatibility and macOS compatibility and made minor changes to other tests, which you can see in our Changelog. Overall adjustability is decent, the range of height adjustability is generous, so it should be great for most users' ergonomic setup, and this is achieved with less wobble than previous designs. There's also tilt and pivot support in case you want to use the monitor in a portrait orientation.
Viewing angles are still excellent, so while the 27GP850 may have TN-like contrast, it does offer a much better viewing experience overall. Uniformity on my unit was good without being amazing, not too different from the 27GL850. There was a bit of IPS glow with my model, although not as much as with my 27GL850, and this does tend to vary from unit to unit so whatever I report here may not be what you experience yourself. The next step is a full calibration, which we achieved using DisplayCAL. As expected, sRGB results are very strong, and for P3 it's also quite good aside from some very small problems right at the tip of the gamut where that last 2-4% isn't covered.First up we have performance in the Off mode, which is without overdrive. As expected we get virtually no overshoot, and we can see that native panel performance is around the 7.8ms mark on average. This is actually a very good result all things considered, but does fall short of what is required for a true 180 Hz refresh rate, so it might be time to enable overdrive. Power consumption has decreased slightly across the generations. The 27GP850 consumes about 16% less power at the same level of brightness after calibration than the 27GL850, a modest improvement to efficiency but not that different to some other 27-inch 1440p gaming monitors that I've benchmarked.
