tim please NEVER stop making monitor reviews!
He wont❤
The LG 27GR83Q has been frequently on sale in my region, USA, for $350 on LG's website and sometimes Amazon and Best Buy. In fact, I bought the 27GR83Q for $280 due to a coupon code at the time when I bought it last August. At that price, the monitor felt like it was a steal and I've been loving the monitor for the last 2 months.
How & where you get a coupon code?
I remember that. Folks at the buildapcsales subreddit went crazy for it, sharing all the ways to make it cheaper. Shame I didn't go for it...
what coupon
when it gets to this price i will bite with that coupon i will bite !!
@@Xilent1it was $280 on the LG site about a week after release with a coupon code. I'm predicting it'll be that price during the holidays. The new 4k 32" was also on sale for $500 which was also a great deal.
Thank you so much for this in-depth review. I just upgraded from a DELL S2522HG 1080p 240Hz monitor to this one and it's lifechanging. 1440p is so much better for productivity and the colors on this monitor are amazing for the few things I do that require color accuracy. Everything feels really immersive and this is the best monitor I've owned so far. Thank you again for making this review!
just recently bought this on sale blind, soo far I'm enjoying my time with it
May i ask if you have evershoot ghosting at "fast" mode when hertz drop down to 120?
For anyone wondering, after a fair bit of time/research, I've learned that this monitor, the MSI G27QPX and the Gigabyte M27Qx (rev2) all used the same BOE panel. Which doesn't appear to have that good of a reputation vs the sharp panel previously used by the M27Qx Rev1 or other IPS panel manufacturers (LG, etc...).
Excellent video, thank you. Straight to the point, thorough but easy to understand and follow. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about monitors but while shopping, "solid" was basically my impression of this monitor and that seems to be the case. I just want something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg but doesn't have any glaring flaws. I'm going to purchase it as my first gaming PC monitor at $350 US and probably upgrade to something really nice in a year or 2. I just don't have the funds to purchase a nice PC and an incredible monitor at the same time. I'll be coming back here next time I look to upgrade. Thanks again.
just picked this up for 325 US, im extremely happy with it and this video is what pushed me over the line to get
Thank you very much for the review.I ordered it at the price of around 390€ and am happy about it cause it was difficult to find it. Only one shop had it in western Europe. It will do the job perfectly for my 4070TI and the xbox X for a few years until the Oled market settle in prices.
Which shop?
May i ask if you have overshoot ghosting at "fast" mode when hertz drop down to 120?
Just ordered the LG UltraGear 27GR83Q-B for around 330€, can’t wait for it to arrive 👏🏽
Would love to see a comparison/roundup of super cheap gaming monitors to see which may be worth buying on a super tight budget! You guys know best!
Really want to get next years 360hz OLED but compared to this monitor and the price it’s going to be a crazy difference. This monitor with gsync set up correctly is probably amazing. Even though the overdrive stats are not good enough for 240hz looks like.
I actually got this recently for 350$ when it was on sale I’m pretty happy with it
I was gonna buy an LG 27GP850 for Christmas since it costs around 280€ in my region.
This LG 27GR83Q seems to cost around 330€ so only 50€ more than the 27GP850.
So I will definitely buy the 240Hz LG since the price difference isn't huge.
Good choice, it's a beautiful monitor
Thanks for the indepth review. Personally, the poor HDR support is a deal breaker, though I do realize this product targets a different audience.
Don't see it available in the Australian market, so might have to wait a bit longer before I upgrade my monitors.
Have a vg27aq and it’s still solid, may upgrade to oled eventually when there’s more competition and lower prices hopefully
Just bought this for $332usd thanks to your reviews. Most informative monitor reviews by far
Great review as always. This seems to come in at a great price imo, but the overshoot despite relatively mediocre response times is a bit disappointing. On another note entirely, do you have any plans to review the AOC Q27G3XMN? 1440p 180hz mini-led all for under $300. It almost seems too good to be true, and I've yet to see more than one english review of it.
not sure if this one correct or rtings
on rtings is 3.3 gtg
Man, just last week I said outlout "I really hope Tim covers this monitor", because I wanted more info lol. Saved my ass.
I just got the AOC Q24G2A shipped from the UK to the US. 24" 1440p 165hz gsync ips, a rare size it looks really sharp, 123ppi. I wish Tim would have looked at it on here, but looking at 3 reviews of it online they all pretty much said the same thing, it's a fantastic monitor for the size/price😊
Hey, i just bought this monitor a few days ago for productivity + gaming after having a very cheap 75hz VA since 2017. The colors are pretty ok and the lower contrast doesnt bother me too much but theres (to my eyes) horrible bleeding thats noticable even in brighter scenes from around 20 brightness during daylight and the edges of the screen are a lot darker than the middle of the screen.
The 165hz feel really good and the resolution looks perfect but the screen being so uneven is ruining my experience. Is this to be expected at this price point with IPA or should i return it?
Would love to see such an in-depth review of some budget and mid-level monitors, both of VA, IPS and to be included curved screens. Just to get a clear understanding and in-depth insight in the performance of these screens with these budget levels in gaming primarily. Have the Philips Momentum 27M1C5500VL/00- monitor currently, a curved VA panel, so curious as to how it's performance relates to E.g. screens shown here. Anyone, any idea?
AOC has a new 27" 1440p mini led monitor, model is Q27G3XMN. Would really like to see a english review of it.
just picked this up for $350 on sale and couldn't be happier! beautiful monitor that honestly exceeded my expectations. i actually had the new w-oled from lg and HATED it. felt so misled by the oled hype and even tho it is g-sync certified it had horrible flickering with it enabled. turns out pretty much all oleds flicker with gsync 🤷🏻♂️ im totally happy with this ips panel until oled is more refined.
Just bought this one on sale for $350. It’s not a fancy OLED monitor but that’s a hard price to beat for this.
Bought a AW2723DF recently for £320.
Dell had a sale on and you could stack a student discount (all hail part time courses)
280hz 1440p. "HDR" as always can be ignored.
Not the greatest contrast and some slight light bleed. The usual IPS glow.
Honestly at full price, £540, this would have been returned but for £320 and the fact I work from home and needed a monitor, I can put up with it.
Hey TIm, is there a notable difference between this and the LG 27GR75Q besides the 240Hz instead of 165Hz?
can you do a review of the new revision of the m27qx? It's a different panel but they claim all specs are the same besides improved colour accuracy. I've heard the build quality might be lower though
Yo is this better than the Msi Optix MAG274QRF-QD ? , both are at $359 rn ,also is worth getting one at that price rn or should i wait to black friday?
I bought a very similar monitor to this one but OLED (27gr95qe) its quite dim and I find it tedious to use even in a dark room the blacks are stunning but its still not worth the $779 I paid for it. I think mini LED might be right for me
I know I have probably been lucky with my particular unit but my Samsung Odyssey G7 performs so much better than these IPS monitors it's crazy. If Samsung could just get their quality control down or offer their exact pannel tuning to a different manufacturer with better quality control, they would absolutely steal the market.
I've been looking for the Gigabyte M27Q-X for a while now, and this LG monitor being similar gives me hope. I just hope it comes to Europe eventually...
Hungarian LG distributor told me it can be expected maybe in november or even later.
@@Szurix90 That's nice to hear. I also asked my LG distributor about it and they've told me 'This is an USA model, we have no information on import plans for Europe'. I really do hope it comes up in stores soon, I've been looking for a solid 1440p high refresh rate monitor for a while now.
@@Ninja_Reborn It will probably come to Europe soon since I saw an LG distributor in Belgium who has it on their website for around 330€ but it's not in stock yet.
forget about both and just get a G7, thank me later...
@@riba2233 Nah, the fact that it's curved is a dealbreaker for me.
How does this compare with the m27q x and new 240hz monitor from msi?
@Monitors Unboxed Could you make a review of AOC Q27G3XMN. Specs looks insane, especially for the price.
I’m hesitating between the 27GR93U and the 27GR83Q and the gigabyte m27U for console games (x|x),especially fast fps games like cod so what do u think should I chose between these three?
Great monitor review, I'm thinking of getting one myself. Just got a new PC with a 4080 and a PS5, I'm guessing Fast mode with 200Hz refresh cap would be the optimal choice in this case?
Right now the monitor is on Amazon for 350$! Just got one myself.
I really wish that LG would make a mini-LED or nano-IPS monitor with basically the same specs as this monitor
Thoughts on the LG 27GR75Q ?
I got this monitor for 345$ on black friday. I have the LG850 and wanted another LG monitor for my setup. Good to see it did better with the contrast because that's the only compliant with the LG850 for me.
The panel of LG 27GR83Q-B is better?? or LG 27GP850-B is better??
@@Cryson99the gr83q is 240hz and they're saying that it is better because it has higher contrast
I just picked up the new aoc q27g3xmn, it's a mini led HVA panel (seems like the same one as the g7) with good dimming zones and stuff. Would be interesting to see your take on it, I haven't got it delivered yet.
Have you already got it? What are your impressions?
@@legianw4954 dogwater lmao. Has typical va smearing, hdr doesn't look great, local dimming has some significant blooming, and the color is extremely red. It's probably a good upgrade if you don't have an IPS but that's about it
@@SeventhCircle77oh wow, I'm glad I read this! Was really considering that mini led AOC, but i ended up going with this monitor the 27GR83U-B for $350 on sale.
I'm glad to know I dodged a bullet with that AOC monitor!
@@KrazzeeKaneMay i ask if you have overshoot ghosting at "fast" mode when hertz drop down to 120?
Hi! Could you guys make a video about the Philips Evnia 49 inch ultrawide? It’s one of the first true QD Oled ultrawides on the market as far as I know. The 34“ Evnia is btw only 800€ in germany at the moment!
I just ordered this. So far I bought three monitors during Black Friday and about to return two of them until this comes in. I bought it for $389 total rather than $500 so I think it was worth the deal if it’s on sale
This is the only monitor so far that supports HDMI 2.1 even though it isn’t 4k I think this is the perfect ps5 monitor Because of hdmi 2.1 and not 4k. I would get 5k monitors but way too expensive and not a lot of games on ps5 is 4k.
Looks like I'll be picking it up since it's only $349 at B&H while the MSI is more expensive everywhere right now.
The omen 27qs currently sits at 380€ and has been as low as 320€. Would be nice to see how it stacks up against other 240hz qhd options.
Also just noticed the appealing 300hz option @550€ with the Agon 274qs..
Here in Italy the Omen 27qs is stuck at 450EUR. I bought the omen x 27 (TN panel) at 260EUR just because i play fps games and don't need much color quality
HP prices in Germany are usually quite good
Brooo, I have seen both comparisons, that of this LG and that of the Acer XV272U W2bb, For gaming and some multimedia, which of the two do you recommend?
I am not sure if MU will consider this comment at all, but I would like to see a review/comparison for a completely different segment of market that has nothing to do with gaming: office/developer monitors. As strange as it sounds, looking for 27" PWM-free, eye care/low blue light, 16:10 monitor with low contrast (ISP), 1440p, is not that easy.
Any chance you'll get a look at the ASUS VG27AQML1A? It's in a similar price range, boasts a 260hz refresh rate, and appears to be very similar feature wise. There's like nothing out about this monitor, and I'd love a fairly direct comparison between the VG27AQML1A, The MSIG274QPX, and the LG lg 27gr83q.
Yes I've posted this in the MSI video as well. It's a good year for 1440P 27" 240hz monitors, so would be nice to get a possible 3rd review out there for what looks to be a solid monitor. You guys do amazing work, so it would help a ton of folks if you could check this monitor out.
Did you find any good reviews? I'm torn between this and the Vg27aqml1a
@@Aleeto_ None, but what I've found on reddit, it's not as good as the LG or the MSI G274QPX.
@@bront_catherder Thanks for the response. it's worse in terms of color or response time? The LG does not have any Backlight strobing feature that's why I am a bit hesitant to get it. The price very similar in my region for both and the MSI model straight out isn't available.
@@Aleeto_ Worse in terms of color accuracy, viewing angles and viewing angle. AKA, it looked significantly worse to the human eye (IE no tools). They did not have any way to check motion, and didn't comment on it, as they returned it within a few hours because it was NOT good.
Given from what I can tell, the LG and MSI are a new generation, while the ASUS is an older gen, so I'd go LG, which also has HDMI 2.1 which is a huge plus. I have the MSI G274QPX and love it, but I get it's also lacking compared to the LG in a few areas, but no regrets, as I got it for $320 before the LG dropped to $350, and it wasn't worth the hassle of returning.
Cities Skylines II graphics optimization guide please, Tim! Brought my 4090 to its knees at default settings 1440p!
Ordered this monitor yesterday on Amazon, on sale for $350!
Im about to buy it for 500 💀
Great review but it would be nice to see this monitor’s ufo test too. 7:59
What do you think about LG UltraGear 27GR83Q-B? Is there a big difference?
Hey @monitorsunboxed are you planning to review Dell G2724D?
Impressive. This seems like a good buy.
Intresting review but i would like to see how those monitor compares to even cheaper monitors from Koorui. I saw two models like the 27E3QK and the GN05 who offers 240hz on IPS and VA pannel on 300$ to 400$ price range. Really hope you would consider to test those monitors
I’ve heard KOORUI monitors have really bad ghosting. Not sure if it’s true since I’ve never seen it myself, but all their monitors are $100-150 cheaper than most monitors from other brands. I guess you get what you pay for
@@KyleReich i believe this is true for most of them like you said but i can tell that a friend of mine, since he was updating his setup got the 27e3qk a few days ago. I don't have any tool to measure it's performance but i didn't noticed any ghosting and it looked awsome in terms of colours and contrast
guys can you please test and review some of the cheap Gaming monitors from Koorui? It would be great
Hi Tim (and a possible Steve), is there maybe a particular reason iiyama monitors are never reviewed?
would love to see a high end CRT compared to some of these modern high refresh monitors to see what the difference in lag is.
Nothing can beat a CRT when it comes to input latency. There is no processing. However, LCD goes to 500+ hz nowadays so the smoothness , motion clarity and input latency are getting better and better. The huge drawback is the processing power needed for that fps. At the moment you can not have the input latency and motion clarity of a CRT, on any other type of screen.
@@sogetsu60 sure it can, it has zero processing and response lag, but it still has high input lag thanks to it's low refresh rate. any good 240+ lcd will beat it thanks to that, not to mention 360 and 540 panels
I just bought it some days ago for 319€. I thought it was misspriced, but it arrived today :D
Nice upgrade from my 144Hz TN FullHD Screen.
For that amount of money you cant complain at all.
My next monitor in some years will be OLED for sure.
Seeing this performance in your comparision is insane :o
what shop?
@@PhilippeCJR cool Blue, an onlineshop that i didnt know before. But they immediately took it off after my order. Didnt think it would arrive at all.
I think it was only lucky timing, 5 minutes before i did not have that google result.
Dude I waa also looking for this in Germany. When googling coolblue is the only shop listed, 356€ out of stock. Cs told me there is zero plans for any shipments. ;-;
Hi this monitor vs dell aw2724dm Which one is better in terms of black uniformity and ips glow?
where i live, the lg 27gr95qe-b is being sold at around 1450 aud, and the asus rog swift pg27aqdm is priced at around 1800 aud. which one should i get?
so not a worth upgrade over the 27gp850, which even has better response times at 100 to 180 hz refreshes with the fast OD mode compared to the FAST od in the gr83q..
Most likely not
Just...no. an 'upgrade' at this point (if freq and response time matters) is to at least a 360hz or oled
I like the hoodie
Can you do review on BenQ Mobiuz EX270QM?
Just picked one up from Best Buy this past week, using it mainly for office purposes with MacOS. I have noticed, though, that whites look a bit grainy/fuzzy or whatever. Hard to describe.. is this normal? I’m just wondering if it’s the matte cover over the display that’s causing it.
hi, looking for a 1440p monitor to use for media, rendering work as well as play ps5 at 120hz. this monitor seems to fit the picture well being at a decent budget price. for my workflow, i’d like to connect speakers directly to the monitor. with that being said does this monitor have a 3.5mm audio output port (headphone jack)?
This monitor has been going on fairly regular rotating sale in the US for $350, which seems like a no-brainer at that price point.
they needa do something different with monitors, they all have pretty fast response times & high refresh rate but its always the same backlight bleed mess & low contrast with bad coating on display.. they can do better
can you please do a aoc q27g3xmn review, its a 336 zones 1440p 27 va for 280$
Hey i bought this monitor do u have any recommended setting on the monitor itself ? I use it on ps5 mostly for warzone on 120hz
Returning the LG 27GP83B-B.AUS in a few hours. It seems like this monitor's little brother lol It's a good monitor after correcting the color settings, but decided to just grab a 4k on blackfriday. The only weird quirk on this monitor is that running free sync seemed to cause me a flick issue randomly. Disappeared when I disabled it. I didn't notice any other difference after I disabled it so I'm unsure why it was on by default. Anyways, if someone wants something in the 144 or 165 range and doesn't care about freesync (unless that's just the monitor i got), I can recommend it.
no issues on my lg27gp850 honestly, no flickers, no problems whatsoever
What's the difference with the -B.AUS variant?
@@Rustydude2030 The 27GP83B-B.AUS is last year's 1440p 165Hz LG monitor.
I am undecided between this one and Odyssey G9 OLED. I know the two are completely different but still I am between this and that. If I get a G9 OLED it has positives like the smart TV features, not just the apps the auto brightness etc. too. Then again I'm afraid it will be too wide for my desk and for gaming in general. I'm not sure if I can use the horizontal space effectively. On the one hand I want an OLED soooo bad, on the other hand I want an ordinary 16:9 IPS monitor. I'd get a 16:9 OLED but the price difference isn't that much when comparing it to a 32:9 OLED.
I game almost every evening for 3 - 4 hrs and an writing a thesis, usually while I'm at the office so I feel like I'll only use the one I'll buy for gaming. I do play a lot of ETS2 though, so the super ultrawide might be useful.
did you test M27P20P or KTC M27T20?
My LG 34"UW 144hz bought in 2019 for almost $900 started going out today. Horizontal lines across the screen is evidently a common issue with them (bad or melted cable inside). Makes it hard to recommend them when they go bad this fast.
Haha i feel ya. My LG 34" UW 144hz bought back in 2018 broke with horizontal lines a month ago. But this LG 27GR83Q has panel from BOE company which is even worse lol. Msi,asus,gigabyte 1440p 240hz share the same BOE panel. I think i will just go for 165hz nano ips panel by LG instead.
What? No Overdrive control in sRGB mode? That wasn't mentioned, but it was in the chart. So if you want to overdrive you have to put up with oversaturated colors?
Any info is the 34 ultrawide is coming out? Last ultrawide 34" from LG is almost 2 years ago
Can this monitor do screen split similar to other LG monitors? I would be using it for work as well as gaming.
What's the difference between the LG 27GR83Q and the LG 27GR83Q-P? I've not found the info.
i have this monitor how do you set it for 200Hz? there is no option in display settings for 200 i only have 239.97-143.97-120-59.95
How's the matte coating on this monitor? Is it overly aggressive to where the screen looks fuzzy/oily/smudged?
I don't know if the question has been posed before. Why are there no 32inch 4k OLEDs? OLEDs have been out for years, and there might be some coming out next year but why don't we have any right now?
Would the recommendation be to just leave HDR off?
How about the newly released Samsung 57 inch Neo G9? Curious to see your take on it
What is this about the SRGB having locked overdrive? That seems to be a very important limitation that isn't even mentioned except in the chart at the end.
please review the INNOCN 27M2V, looks like a better choice
As good as this might be, with second gen 27" oled monitors coming in a near future, doesn't seem like the wisest buy at all, even if the oled ones are more expensive.
If you’re never gonna pay more than 650/700$ for a monitor why wouldn’t it be wise?
I feel like this just isn't a 240hz display? Unless I'm mistaken about how important grey 2 grey response time is for delivering 240hz
That lg 27gr83q is 346 on b&h with ur link right now.
Please review the dell g2724d 🙏🏻
I love the yearly ritual of forgetting about monitors for 11 months and then frantically diving into the latest and greatest in displays during a 2-week binge like a manic child who received way too many christmas presents
This is exactly why I dont save money
Is there a method or channel recommended for color calibration?
Should I return the MSI G274QPX and get this LG monitor because these are the same price at 349 USD???
not available in germany/europe?
Can you review the Koorui 27e3qk? It is 1440p 240hz ips at $310 which is insanely lower than all the rest
Seeing this on sale for ~$350 US at multiple outlets, including the LG store. Noticed its the 27GR83Q-B.AUS variant though. Wondering what the difference is. And the question is, at the equivalent price of MSI G274QPX and slightly cheaper than Gigabyte M27Qx (which I have been seeing around $450-435 on AMZN), is this the go to over either of those?
I guess Tim answered the h2h vs the MSI G274QPX at 14:30, with this being the better option vs the MSI. Still wonder about it vs the Gigabyte...
I think the -B is for Best Buy exclusive?
I would love to see a review on the asus tuf vg27aqml1a
can you do a little research on this monitor, cause i ordered 2, both arrived with dead pixels, and lg's website is full of complains about this monitor screen flickering, lines etc, also to colors seem way off on my units.
Can you please review the new Samsung Neo G9 57 or the LG Ultragear 49 inch monitor?
Should I just pick up the LG 27GP850 since It’s better in almost every category and the 27GR83Q is unavailable in Europe as of now?
LG 27gr75q-b i hope this one will be reviewed, as there's no proper review for this monitor !
Should I go with something like this monitor or get the ViewSonic XG2431? I primarily play esports fps games, and I'm able to run both 1440 and 1080 at/above 240fps. I recently bought the LG 27GP83B-B, and motion clarity wasn't as good as my current 165hz TN. I also didn't exactly like the 27" size. Would it also be a good idea to wait for more monitors to come out, like 24" 1440p options? I know AOC had one that surfaced.
?! Lord let me not be late to the party. Don’t buy the view sonic, I’ve seen some people having quality control issues, their ViewSonic monitors have been shipped with dead pixel or not working. Hold off on that and look for something else. I think aoc is the better choice.
@nolyfe4814 I pulled the trigger already lol. Actually pretty happy with it. Motion clarity and 240hz is solid. Colors are good too. Only issue is some minor backlight bleed but it's not noticeable in most use.
I’m looking for a 1440p monitor to be able to play on ps5 what would be my best bang for buck monitor?
