TLDR: Buy this version when it's on sale. If the price is within $100 of the GL850-B, buy the GL850-B instead for the better color gamut, better I/O, and way better adjustable stand.

The GN850-B doesn't appear to be available in Canada, the GL850-B is pricey, and the GL83A-B was sold out. I noticed that a few sites had stocked a new model, which was the GN800-B, and I decided to go with it because it's almost the same as the LG 27GL83A-B in terms of specs but with a cheaper stand. Also, it was on sale for a considerable discount. I ended up saving over $200 by buying the GN800-B over the GL850-B. Imight've gotten lucky, as I've read on Reddit that the QC isn't as good for anything lower tier than the GL850-B model, but either way the monitor didn't have any dead pixels. Note that you will need to carefully adjust the settings to get a look that you like. If you haven't used an IPS gaming monitor before, you should expect a bright glow with vivid colors. However, you should also expect a poor contrast ratio and lackluster blacks / dark areas in games. The stand can only be adjusted for tilt. I recommend you consider a VESA mount setup if you're going with this model. I'm using the stand for now but I had to place it on top of a box in order to raise the height and keep it level with the maximum height on my other 27" monitor.

Overall an okay monitor. I ended up returning this monitor and buying the lg gp83b-b. The gn 800-b isn’t terrible but the backlight bleed was so bad. I would recommend spending a little more and getting something that has better colors and a better stand. The anti glare coating on the 800-b was also worse then any monitor I’ve seen. The screen constantly looked slightly blurry to me because of it. All in all it’s and okay monitor and if you can get it on a big sale I would buy it. However I personally would spend the extra $50 and get something with better ergonomics and better colors, as I keep my monitors for three years minimum and look at it as an investment.

This monitor really excelled at anything thrown at it, doing an especially great job of handling motion (ghosting, overshoot). HDR was a bit lackluster due to its relatively low peak brightness but not terrible. If you go with this monitor, make sure you check the amount of backlight bleed (mine had a borderline bothersome amount in each corner). Some panels will be affected by this more than others, and likewise some people may find it more distracting in darker scenes than others. Personal preference at the end of the day but worth determining before you can’t change your mind!

No internal speakers, and audio would not come from display port anyway, and since I don't have external speakers (because I don't live in 1986) if I have to go back to bestbuy anyway, it'll be to return this. Picture quality isn't any better than a 19" 1080p display from 10 years ago (was my previous display and apparently going back to, plus it has internal speakers so already better than this) There's absolutely nothing about this monitor that warrants the $300 price tag even before going on sale, quite a waste of money honestly. I'll buy speakers just to give it a good shot, but like I said the picture quality isn't any better than my previous display from 10+ years ago, the pixel density is definitely higher, and on my previous display I could see the spacing ... MoreNo internal speakers, and audio would not come from display port anyway, and since I don't have external speakers (because I don't live in 1986) if I have to go back to bestbuy anyway, it'll be to return this.

But for first impressions, having it plugged in less than 2 hours, I've never been more disappointed with a display.
The positives:G-sync compatibility is excellent.High framerates during gameplay on an NVIDIA 1660 TI Super and is very responsive to mouse movements. That is very refreshing from someone who used to use a TV as a monitor.Perfect size for general gaming endeavors.Fairly simple and easy to get running and operate.No screen tearing or framerate dips.YouTube videos run smoothly.Gives plenty of space on my table for other things.Negatives:Monitor is angled forward, and took some time getting used to. My eyes had to adjust. Awkward in general.No way to turn off the monitor and options in general are very limited.Overall, I got what I paid for and I enjoy the product. Definitely a couple of minor nitpicks on my end, but the positives overall outweigh ... MoreThe positives:G-sync compatibility is excellent.High framerates during gameplay on an NVIDIA 1660 TI Super and is very responsive to mouse movements.

I bought this recently as an upgrade for 1080p and the screen works great for a 1440p monitor on the cheaper end. However, the panel was not actually made by LG in-house, but was outsourced to a different manufacturer. This means that your mileage may vary with the 27gn800 model specifically.That being said, I have been enjoying my monitor on a VESA mount until I see a small white glowing spot in the corner of my screen. This white spot was caused by an error on the manufacturing floor. Since there is so much variety in the quality of these models, I will be returning this monitor in favor of a 27gn850, just because the panel is actually manufactured by LG themselves. I would rather spend the extra money on something that will last much, much longer.
When I was looking for a nice 1440p panel to complement my 3060ti, I began to do some online research. My budget was around $250-$300 bucks, so from my research, I narrowed the most commonly chosen options down to a few like this monitor, the Gigabyte M27Q, the ASUS VG27AQ, and so on. I ultimately settled on this one, because of the review on rtings.com, and it was readily available on Amazon.To note, I am not particularly choosy. Some forums online discussed the panel's low contrast, or its wide color gamut, or the best ways to calibrate it. To be honest, I have no idea where to start with any of that stuff. All I really did was throw up the monitor on a VESA mount, and enjoyed the default settings. The display is beautiful - I threw up Assassin's Creed Odyssey, ... MoreWhen I was looking for a nice 1440p panel to complement my 3060ti, I began to do some online research.

I don't know how to rate the other panel features like HDR, as I'm not very experienced with those sorts of things. All I know is, for the average person who may be like me, this is the one.
As an avid gamer and professional who demands high-performance computing, finding a monitor that satisfies both worlds of intensive graphic work and immersive gaming is paramount.

The higher resolution paves the way for more vivid and detailed imaging, ensuring that both my design work and in-game environments are rendered with extraordinary clarity and precision.The incorporation of IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology is another compelling feature that stands out. Offering wider viewing angles and incredible color accuracy, it's a delight to witness consistent, vibrant colors from virtually any viewpoint. This proves to be indispensable when engaged in color-critical work, or simply when sharing the screen with others.One of the critical features for gamers is the G-SYNC compatibility. Synchronizing the monitor's refresh rate with the GPU, it obliterates screen tearing and minimizes display stutter and input lag. The tangible impact during fast-paced gaming is unmissable, providing a noticeably smoother and more immersive experience.The LG UltraGear also boasts an impressively rapid response time and high refresh rate, which, when combined, deliver incredibly smooth and blur-free visuals. This is particularly evident in high-octane gaming scenarios where every millisecond counts, enhancing my competitive edge and making for a far more engaging experience.Ergonomically, the adjustable stand and sleek, minimalist design allow it to meld seamlessly into any workspace or gaming setup. Its aesthetic appeal is matched by its functionality, ensuring that it is not just a visual treat but also a practical addition to the desk.The user-friendly interface and easily navigable OSD (On-Screen Display) add to the list of pros, making it straightforward to adjust settings and customize the display to personal preferences.
i bought this some months ago for 25% off msrp. PLEASE NOTE my value rating is based on the price i paid, not the list price. at list price i would've liked to see perhaps a usb hub, but perhaps gsync compatible certification raises the price. it has better colors than my previous monitor, and the control stick beneath the bezel is easy to access and use. gsync compatibility gives peace of mind during gaming. i have one issue: uneven blacks. i sent this unit in for repair to see if it is an issue that can be resolved. i originally bought two of these monitors, and the other seems to have the issue as well, albeit isolated to the lower left corner, which was worse on the specific monitor i am reviewing. if the first monitor comes back in a better state, i will send ... Morei bought this some months ago for 25% off msrp.
