Product Overview

LG 27GL650F UltraGear is an affordable 27-inch FHD gaming monitor. It features 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms MBR response time and is designed for general home computing with some gaming in between.
As such, while the 27GL650F headlines with 1ms MBR response time, its grey-to-grey response time is only 5ms. A FHD monitor with an 8-bit panel, the pixel density and color reproduction are not the best on the market.
On the other hand, for those who use their computers for entertainment and occasional gaming, the 27GL650 supports both G-SYNC and FreeSync and comes with a broad range of gaming-optimization features.
After all, it is only a "65" model in the UltraGear range, which tops out usually at "95". You can find some of its cousins in the same 2019 series ("L") as well as its direct successors in the Related Products section. The 27GL650F is still available at some retailers at a discounted price and may be an interesting choice today.

    Reviewers from rtings have found the following***:
    The LG 27GL650F-B is a great gaming monitor thanks to its excellent response time, incredibly low input lag, and high refresh rate. Its large screen size is good for productivity, but the 1080p resolution might be too low for some to watch videos. The low native resolution might bother some people though, and it doesn't have a built-in USB hub.
