LG 27GN800 UltraGear 27" QHD Gaming Monitor (2020)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
LG 27GN800 UltraGear is a mid-range 27-inch QHD gaming monitor. At first glance, it appears to be a smaller-sized 32GN600: what makes the 27GN800 different is its 10-bit IPS display panel, which makes it a more useful monitor for color-critical tasks (such as those found in photo and video editing) beyond gaming.
Perhaps somewhat confusingly, the 27GN800 is rather different from the 27GN850: the latter uses Nano IPS panel, which boasts even better color performance.
A third model that can be compared is the 27GN600, with which the 27GN800 share essentially the same exterior design to a tee. They are also identical in speed, I/O, and HDR performance.
