LG 27GP850-B Ultragear Gaming Monitor 27-Inch QHD (2560 x 1440) Nano IPS Display 1ms Response Time 165Hz Refresh Rate NV

Monitors & Displays

Our Take

A 27-inch QHD gaming monitor built for competitive play without the premium price tag of LG's OLED range. The Nano IPS panel pairs a 165Hz refresh rate with genuinely quick response times, making it a solid pick for FPS and racing game fans who want fluid motion and decent colour accuracy from the same screen, rather than choosing one or the other.

Key Features

27-inch Nano IPS panel at QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution

165Hz refresh rate, with headroom to overclock further via the OSD

1ms (GtG) response time aimed at reducing motion blur in fast-paced games

Adjustable stand with tilt, height, pivot and swivel built in

NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certification alongside AMD FreeSync Premium

HDR10 support, though peak brightness is modest rather than a true HDR showpiece

Our Verdict

A great buy for gamers wanting sharp QHD visuals and smooth, tear-free motion without stepping up to OLED pricing. Skip it if deep blacks and strong HDR matter more to you than refresh rate, or if desk space is tight and a slimmer, more compact stand is a priority.

What We Like

Excellent blend of sharpness, colour and speed for the price
Flexible stand means no need for a separate monitor arm in most setups
Wide compatibility with both NVIDIA and AMD variable refresh rate tech
Fast enough for competitive gaming without resorting to a lower resolution

Things to Consider

HDR is more "nice to have" than genuinely impactful given the backlighting
IPS glow is noticeable in darker scenes, as with most IPS panels
No USB-C input, which limits use with newer laptops
Stand footprint is fairly large and takes up desk space
