Product Overview

LG UltraGear 27GN850 is a mid-range 27-inch Nano IPS gaming monitor with 1ms response time and 144Hz refresh rate. Among LG's unique 1ms Nano IPS gaming monitor lineup, the 27GN850 also supports both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync.

Boasting the speed of TN panels, the Nano IPS panel in the 27GN850 offers rich color gamut and high dynamic range. It comes with both 100x100 VESA mounting points and a stand with height, tilt, and pivot adjustments.

In its 2020 lineup, LG also markets the 4K UHD 27GN950 and the FHD 27GN750 gaming monitors with similar feature sets in the 27-inch class.

Reviewer score 50% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from rtings have found:

LG 27GN850-B is good for office use and content creators. Its 27 inch, 1440p screen makes it good for multitasking. It has wide viewing angles if you need to share your screen with someone else. Sadly, it has a low contrast ratio and lacks local dimming, so blacks appear closer to gray when viewed in the dark.

Pros

Outstanding response time
Wide viewing angles
Excellent reflection handling
Great peak brightness

Cons

Low contrast ratio
Poor black uniformity
No local dimming
