About this deal

The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.

Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. Fast’ and ‘Faster’ are too aggressive and introduce too much inverse ghosting (pixel overshoot), so you should avoid them. Who says that you have to go all out for a gaming monitor with a curved screen? With the SAMSUNG Odyssey G5, you get a 27-inch curved display, and the unit is coincidentally one of the best 1440p, 144Hz monitors out there. It’s not without its faults, however.

Picture Quality

The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe. In terms of specifications, the LG UltraGear 27GN800-B is pretty similar to the rest of the options on this list. The monitor’s 144Hz native refresh rate might seem lower in comparison to the other options on this list, but keep in mind that your consoles will not push beyond 120FPS. As such, LG’s offering gives you plenty of headroom.

At 144Hz, the Normal overdrive mode offers the best results as there’s basically no visible trailing behind fast-moving objects. TL;DR: Motion clarity is very good due to almost nonexistent motion blur. The advertised 1ms response time is still marketing bs, and requires that the OD setting be turned to 'fastest', causing overshoot. Moving on, the LG 27GN800 monitor has a peak brightness of 350-nits, so it will be more than bright enough under normal lighting conditions. The contrast ratio varies from 700:1 to 1000:1 depending on the individual panel, but most units seem to reach around 850:1. Just like the LG 27GN800, the LG 27GL83A has a specified 99% sRGB color gamut, yet it actually supports wide color gamut. The difference, however, is that the GL83A model uses its sRGB gamut natively and only extends to DCI-P3 when an HDR signal is detected. The LG UltraGear 27GN800 is based on an IPS panel by BOE (MV270QHM-NF1), unlike LG’s other monitors with similar names (27GN850, 27GL850, 27GL83A, and 27GN880), which are based on LG’sM270WQA-SSA1 panel.

Desktop monitors and smart TVs experience a latency/lag in visualizing the information. The time in milliseconds that the display needs to visualize the signal input. Sadly, there’s no sRGB emulation mode that would allow you to restrict the monitor’s native ~135% sRGB gamut to ~100% sRGB. So, if you want accurate sRGB color output in color-managed applications, you’ll need to profile the monitor using a colorimeter. Information about the average amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another.

They’re not too expensive nor too demanding on your CPU/GPU, yet they offer an immersive and responsive gaming experience.Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. For more information and monitors, visit our comprehensive and always up-to-date best gaming monitor buyer’s guide. Conclusion

If you comeacross a different type of panel or your LG 27GN880-Bdoesn't correspond to our review, let us know, and we'll update the review. Note that some tests, like gray uniformity, may vary between individual units. You can enable 1ms MBR only when FreeSync/G-SYNC is disabled, and your refresh rate is set to either 120Hz or 144Hz.Others might even prefer the extra color saturation, in which case it’s an awesome display, especially when it comes to fast-paced games! Specifications Screen Size On paper, the SAMSUNG Odyssey G5 is pretty similar to other 27-inch monitors on this list. You get a VA panel and a smooth refresh rate of 144Hz. The device also supports Variable Refresh Rate or VRR, which is crucial for console gaming. Add to that, as noted by RTings, the monitor offers a responsive gaming experience thanks to its low input lag. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The monitor also supports high brightness and contrast and comes with VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. What’s more, the unit sports 92 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut as well. As a result, games set in dark environments like Metro: Exodus and Resident Evil will look really great on the unit. But that’s not all. With support for high-refresh-rate, you can easily play titles like Call of Duty and Ghostrunner on the monitor with ease. 3.
