Our Take
The LG 27GP850P-B is a 27-inch 1440p gaming monitor built around a Nano IPS panel, aimed squarely at competitive and enthusiast PC gamers who want fast response times without sacrificing colour quality. It sits in the upper-mid range, competing with monitors from Asus and Samsung at a similar price point, and suits those prioritising speed alongside decent image quality.
Key Features
27-inch Nano IPS panel delivering 1440p (2560×1440) resolution with wider colour coverage than standard IPS
Native 165Hz refresh rate, overclockable to 180Hz via the on-screen menu
1ms Grey-to-Grey response time, reducing motion blur during fast-paced gameplay
AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certification for tear-free gaming on both GPU brands
DisplayHDR 400 certification — edge-lit backlight with a 400 nit peak brightness rating
Connectivity includes one HDMI 2.0 port and one DisplayPort 1.4
Our Verdict
A strong choice for PC gamers prioritising fast, fluid 1440p gameplay, particularly those on AMD or NVIDIA hardware who want adaptive sync compatibility. If you watch a lot of HDR film content or need multiple HDMI inputs for consoles, look elsewhere — the HDR implementation is functional rather than impressive.
