After one week: this monitor is very good. I am using the DisplayPort and the G-Sync works automatically with my GTX 1650S. The audio out works good if you prefer to plug in there instead of the PC. One feature I thought I would probably never use but I found a good use for is this monitor’s ability to swivel 90 degrees on its stand – play pinball! It’s perfect for that.Based upon one day’s usage: It’s a really nice monitor in all aspects and so I’m very happy with the purchase. Great color, G-Sync works, everything gets detected and optimum settings applied in Windows and Steam games. I like the stand design also – that is one area a monitor excels over a TV. I have mostly Samsung TVs but chose an LG for my new monitor partly based on a lot of specs and reviews and price/quality ratio and such. Also, I wanted to try an LG since my in-laws have an older large LG TV that is like 15 years old or something but is 120hz and it has held up to this day with a fabulous picture and quality looking case and stand. I think this LG 2783A-B monitor is going to prove the same. If you want G-Sync compatibility, 144hz and 1440p then this is one of the best options and most cost effective options at this time I think. This monitor has no speakers but it does have an audio out port. Of course this model number is an Amazon special edition. It shows up in Windows 10 settings as a 27GL850.I had been using a Samsung 22 inch 1080p TV for my monitor and it was pretty nice and had very good speakers. Well, after having my i7 PC for 3 years I decided it was time for a refresh: NVME drive, Lancool 2 Case, LED Fan kit, 650W PSU, MSI GTX 1650 Super Gaming X, Xbox Windows 10 Wireless Adapter and this LG 2783A-B monitor. As you can imagine this all really woke up that i7 and its a completely different experience now – obviously in a positive direction. More on this monitor…The 27 inch size is really nice compared with a 22 inch one. Looking at this LG 2783A-B 1440p at a distance of 1.5 to 2 feet looks the same to me as looking at my Samsung 40 inch 4K TV from 3.5 to 4 feet away. That is very good BTW. Are you used to watching 1080p and 4K LCD TVs? Then you will be very satisfied with deep blacks and vibrant colors on this and not notice any light bleed effects – it will look as good as a nice 4K TV at a bit larger size and much better than a 1080p I can tell you that. I use my PC for CAD for 3D printing, Photoshop and gaming mostly. To me this monitor is an optimum size, resolution and picture quality for those things sitting at a desk. I tried my 40 inch 4K TV for a while and it looked as good as this monitor but was just too much screen area at such a close distance. I like this 27 better. This monitor has some pretty nice metallic red accents but unfortunately they are all toward the back so you won’t actually see much of them.

The media could not be loaded. This was worth every penny. I researched so many monitors. I wanted a 27in and a 144ghz. I looked at the PC part brands like MSI and gigabyte who often had dead pixel problems. I looked at ASUS and Acer and cheaper brands like AOC or Viotek. I also did research on LG screens and figured if phone companies and tv companies also use LG screens for their products than an LG monitor has to be a solid choice.I also needed something with multiple ports as I work from home and game and have to have multiple computers plugged into one monitor. I also REALLY liked the stand that this comes with. The bottom of the feet are grippy so it won’t slide around easily or scratch up your desk. The height adjustment on this thing beats out every other competition. Not only is it so easy to move it up and down it can also be turned vertically! My boyfriend bought the same monitor after me and the weird clip on handle in the back doesn’t fit properly but it’s not even needed to be used. You just very slightly squeeze is and it’ll lower. Otherwise going up you just lift the screen like magic. So easy a baby could do it and it’s also a fun brag factor when your friends come over!We have a 3070 GPU so we wanted a monitor that would go hand in hand with it. So far it’s been wonderful. You can really change the settings on it just through the monitor but you can even further tweak everything through the NVIDIA g-sync which is FANTASTIC!!!!!!BE AWARE!!!!! I do however want to !!WARN!! Everyone about one thing: we downloaded the LG driver for the monitor (which basically does the same thing the actual monitor button does but we were curious….) but we turned on HDR through that and it basically crashed our computers. Everytime I opened a game in full screen it would completely freeze my PC and I would have to restart it. I uninstalled the program and it still was crashing. (My bf uninstalled his and it worked fine after) I was freaking out. I went into the monitor button settings and just reset settings to factory and it fixed everything. So I’m not exactly sure what the issue is with that drive but I would NOT download it! I since have turned HDR on again through the monitor button settings and it’s fine so it was something with that driver.A 1440p and 144ghz monitor looks amazing we had fun watching YouTube videos to see the detail and colors of it. However the Home Screen was so tiny everything from the menu bar to the programs on the desktop were super tiny. Down to the font size on browsers so I adjusted my settings to make everything 110% zoom which makes my monitor look “normal” again. Otherwise those are the only settings I’ve really had to change on this monitor. I know other non ISP monitors you have to change color shading and everything to make it look good which is why I went with an IPS monitor. Also leave it on fast mode dont move it to faster ever unless you like shadowing.So far I have zero complaints. No dead pixels. Amazing build quality. Monitor feels solid and light. Easy to adjust height and vertical. Base is ingenuity. The size is perfect. It’s not curved. The settings in the monitor buttons are perfect and plenty. G-sync is fantastic. HDR looks amazing freesync works great.I also want to mention in game mode there’s a reader option which makes working from home even better. Not sure what the effect does specifically but it makes words softer on the eyes if your reading or working from home which I LOVE!Although the stand it comes with is amazing: what gamer doesn’t get a VIVO mount? This stand slides off really easy in order to mount it I was surprised again LG out did themselves on this monitor! Buy it!

I purchased this to go with my old backup gaming PC which lives at my parents’ home a few hours away. I needed something that worked with m old NVidia GTX 960 card. I wanted something on the larger side, with G-Sync, a Display Port, a faster refresh rate, and a resolution better than my ancient backup 1920 x 1080 monitor. Mostly I wanted something cheap, which is very difficult to find with my requirements! This nice LG monitor popped up in my filtered search on Amazon and it was such a great deal (especially on Black Friday) that I couldn’t pass it up. It works great, with a nice refresh rate of 144 Hz and a resolution of 2560 x 1440. I’ve tried most of my games including Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft and I’m getting very good performance. My only quibble is that it has a fairly prominent bezel and I am used to a bezel-free look on my home monitor. Additionally, it looks mildly convex in shape. These are minor quibbles for the price and quality, and I’m very impressed with both as well as the ease of setup. Definitely make sure to install the proper ICC profile and you will be happy with this nice gaming monitor for years to come.

Next day delivery, packaged well, easy setup. Well built and sturdy. Good, crisp images with good color. Zero issues. My old monitor was a standard (very inexpensive) 1080@60. This is my first gaming monitor and I am quite impressed with the difference, especially with 1080@144 and 1440@144. The 144 refresh rate makes a HUGE difference during game play. As of today (03/25/2024), this monitor is $40 dollars less than I paid ($249 vs $209 today). If your looking for a gaming monitor at a reasonable price I would snap one up. I thought $249 was an really good price, this is excellent.Also note this monitor works great for everyday office work.

Very easy to assemble(Instruction don’t have text but it is a you will get it when you see it type of instruction which honestly is very easy to understand) not a single death pixel which has happened to me with other monitors, and being able to use it vertical or horizontal with ease is great, really good quality for the price, I have another monitor with 170hz, this one has less but to be honest you won’t notice unless you are from the Uchiha clan, that all said, it could be a little bit more stable(just a little, not that it really is an issue tbf, still deserves the 5 starts).

Disclaimer for fair context here:This is my first true 144hz, 1440p, IPS panel experience. Up until now, I’ve only ever had descriptions and seen photos (on less than ideal monitors) of what to expect. So my review here may almost certainly be biased in terms of extremes for both pros and cons.With that out of the way, let me just say.. wow, being my first experience with an IPS, I was absolutely blown away with just how much the colors explode off the screen compared to a TN panel. You get used to it very quickly but you definitely have those moments where you’re just like “Damn, that looks really good.”The exact same can be said about the refresh rate. If you’re coming from 60hz, the difference is absolutely staggering. It’s noticeable the moment you slide the cursor across the screen. It’ll give you goosebumps at first. And again, it’s something you’ll get used to very quickly but will repeatedly be reminded of how smooth any and all motion appears at the most seemingly benign places. Especially with Windows 10 and it’s very quick but subtle flow to almost any menu and interaction. Simply opening up the start menu or action center will just appear to glide in as though it was never on the screen but just floating above it.And finally the jump from 1080p to 1440p was much nicer than I had anticipated. My mind knew it was a half way mark between 1080 and 4K but my expectations were more inline with something more subtle. Nope. You’re getting a massive upgrade in pixels here. The best thing about 1440p is that it truly is a half way sweet spot between 1080p performance and 4K sharpness when talking about gaming. The amount of extra power needed isn’t insignificant, you will notice a loss in performance, however if you’re rocking an RTX 2070 or equivalent GPU, it’s safe to say that while you might not always get the best out of its 144hz refresh rate, you’ll almost certainly exceed the 60hz you’re probably accustomed to and it really does make a huge difference. 60fps just doesn’t feel like a good performance anymore. It feels like what 30fps felt like on a 60hz monitor.Of course it’s also worth mentioning a few “buts” now.The G-Sync on this thing is incredible. I can finally turn off vsync and not get those incredibly distracting screen tears which I’m unlucky enough to be very sensitive to. However it’s worth noting that this is NOT a G-Sync monitor. It does not have the proper hardware to support G-Sync at its best. It’s G-Sync compatible. Which is to say, it was built for FreeSync but after Nvidias driver update opened G-Sync to FreeSync monitors, this monitor was able to pass the certification process and be sold as being compatible with G-Sync with no real issues. The problem with this might seem nuance but it’s worth mentioning. G-Sync will NOT work at framerates lower than 40fps. Once you drop below that, you’ll start noticing screen tearing as the monitor doesn’t have the hardware to stay in sync with the GPU at lower refresh rates. Not a deal breaker but just something to keep in mind. If you’re still rocking older hardware, you might be lowering settings to accommodate the higher resolution at G-Sync speeds or resorting to turning vsync back on.Finally there’s the IPS glow. It’s there. It’s absolutely there. It’s both not as bad and worse than I expected but it’s well within tolerance as I quickly get sucked into what I’m doing and stop noticing it. Unlike backlight bleed, IPS glow shifts around the screen based on your relative position and angle. It’s easy to adjust the monitor in such a way that it’s a minimal issue but due to the size of the display, it’s impossible to sit at any position or angle and not see some IPS glow somewhere. Usually in the top corners as tilting the monitor up seems to offer the least about of glow.How much this bothers you it’s going to heavily depend on what kind of content you’ll be playing. Darker colors show IPS glow much more than brighter scenes. So brighter games like Spyro will hide it almost entirely, but darker games like Control can be real hit or miss and if you’re not used to it yet, probably annoying. But it’s a small price to pay for the kind of color you get over TN monitors.

I’d like to start by saying, ever since LG invented the wallpaper TV, I’ve developed loyalty, strictly on their displays for everything. They are cheaper then Samsung, yet more innovative, so, kudos. That said, if my review sounds at all biased, I’m sorry. There are no defects on the monitor I received. Ran an Ezio test and found nothing that stands out.Something to be aware of, is that if you purchase a VESA mount, it needs to be 100×100, and even if that mount has spacers, you may need some washers to compensate for a gap. The reason for this, is to keep the back flat and uniform when installing the stand it comes with, but considering monitors these days are naturally very thin, this causes a problem by limiting the female port length for the screws needed to secure a VESA mount. In my case, 8 small washers I had left over from other projects fixed this problem. Something else worth noting is it is Nvidia G-Sync compatible (there is an attractive sticker showing this monitor is capable of it on the bottom left that I’m assuming can be removed). My Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super recognized that it is a G-Sync compatible monitor, and I was able to enable G-Sync thru the Nvidia Control Panel, however, when you view settings on the monitor itself, it is called “Adaptive Sync.” From what I’ve read, this is because they used to be one in the same, and it works just the same as far as I can tell. Enabling it in the Nvidia Control Panel made the monitor settings show Adaptive Sync: Enabled. One feature I really liked that I wasn’t aware of when buying this monitor, is that the settings button is a small joystick. If clicked in it opens the settings window, if towards you or away from you, it allows you to adjust the brightness, and left or right is headphone volume. Overall very nifty for one button. If you need a VESA mount but aren’t sure what to get, this is what I ordered: VIVO Dual LCD Monitor Desk Mount Stand Heavy Duty Fully Adjustable fits 2 /Two Screens up to 27″ (STAND-V002). Mine is a dual mount but you can choose between double and single. The mount itself is extremely sturdy. Zero wobble and aesthetically pleasing, as it has a cable management system and you can hide the VIVO logo on the main support pole if you want to (I did, I’m not the biggest fan of logos). But not to veer off the topic or review, 2560 x 1440 @ 144hz for under $400 from LG w/ G-Sync compatibility is the most perfect monitor I could ask for. 2k is ideal for gaming as 4k is too demanding for AAA titles (for about 90% of the Gaming PC Community and 100% of the eSports Community). One last thing I’ve noticed, is that I have had a 4k screen in the past, and noticed the resolution makes everything extremely tiny (the taskbar being the most obvious reference). 2k is the sweet spot, because it’s not too small, but there is now enough real estate for a 27″ monitor to be all I need (for gaming). When I get into photo editing, etc., I will likely purchase a 4k monitor, but only for shows, movies, and editing. I do self-taught audio production work, and 27″ 2k is more then enough for me. Some producers use widescreen monitors, which is great for them, I’m sure, but not necessary after seeing this thing. Thank you LG, for the ultimate monitor, and thank you Amazon, for an undamaged product.

This LG Monitor has a very nice display and since upgrading from my old 1080p display – listed below, is one of the best decisions ever made, not only are images higher quality and performance on this LG 1440p and HDR/Nvidia G-SYNC compatible monitor, but what they say is true, the increased refresh rates and clearer image does indeed result in less visual related problems, and less migraine type headaches from stepping up to 1440p and I’m positive this would be the same with 4K or 8K displays and also higher refresh rates to speed up the times the image is refreshed resulting in less strain on eyes/brain. I have noticed a significant difference since going up to this LG 1440p display and if have solid top tier PC graphics card and other hardware, even recommend potentially stepping up to 4K or better if have a GPU like 3080/3090 or 4080/4090 that will perform well at 4K — but this thus far in 30+ years of PC usage and gaming, is by far the best choice made to experience what its like at 1440p+ by far and not gonna lie, had no idea it would be that extremely good until I plugged it in and could see the difference in quality side by side – granted the 3 images above one is the LG 2560x1440p on left side while gaming and right side image is PC desktop wallpaper image in 1920x1080p, there still is a fairly noticeable difference, thus also why the right side image is smaller in size and not as clear as this LG monitor on the left and why I have included these just in case it helps.Note: The 3 images included – which I should mention are from Visions of Mana (Square Enix) game demo version, Valve/Steam platform and EVGA 3060 XC 12gb GPU and I do not own the rights to, image on right side, is captured from secondary monitor and XFX RX 570 XXX Edition 8gb GPU – image is a free Microsoft provided “Windows Spotlight” and also do not own any rights or credit from the above, but plainly just for reference – also image on left is the 1440p LG27GL83A-B and image on right is 1080p on VISIO d40f-g9 40″ TV used for my secondary monitor.

Before buying I went through a dozen different monitors and brands before landing on this one. I’ve had it for just about a month now and can gladly say (knocking on wood) that it’s still a purchase well spent. If you were like me and didn’t exactly need a 4k monitor, this one fits the bill.

I got these for $209 each, which is probably a little bit more than they are worth seeing as the tech inside them isn’t as new as other current 1440p 144Hz+ monitors, but for someone who was still using a 1080p 60Hz monitor for gaming and productivity, this was a great move.Pros:-Motion is smooth, colors look great, and IPS flow is minimal on the two that I purchased. I know so people are sensitive to the lack of deep blacks IPS panels have in a dark room, but it hasn’t been that noticeable to me.-100×100 VESA mounting works fantastic for quick mounting.-Comes with a 6ft HDMI cable and a 6ft DP cable.-There is a slight red LED on the back when the monitors are in standby (it isn’t always on).Cons: One of the monitors I got came with about 5 stuck pixels (note: LG’s warranty is 1440p monitors need at least 12 pixels to be considered, any less and you are SOL). I tried a lot of different tactics to get them unstuck and nothing worked right off the bat. They were only noticeable when the screen was dark (i.e. dark mode Chrome, watching a movie). After about a week, 4 of the pixels became unstuck and only one still remains after about a month of owning these. I didn’t return it to Amazon because they don’t offer replacements for monitors; you can only return them and order another so your money is tied up in limbo for about a month while Amazon inspects your returned monitor. That hassle alone is something to consider if you were planning to order off Amazon. I think big box stores would offer an instant replacement if you can deal with the drive.
