    Reviewers from rtings have found:
    The LG 27GL850-B is a good monitor for pretty much any use. It's a great gaming monitor, with outstanding response time and low input lag. It has wide viewing angles, good peak brightness, and good reflection handling. It delivers a decent HDR gaming experience, but it's limited by its low native contrast and poor black uniformity.
    Pros
    • Outstanding response time and outstanding response time
    • Wide viewing angles and wide viewing angles

    Cons
    • Doesn't look as good in a dark room
    • Disappointing ergonomics
