    Sentiment Score 56%
    Reviewers from rtings have found the following***:
    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.
