LG UltraGear 27GP850P-B Review

Summary

Generally very good monitor for gamers. It provides good mix of fast response times and price but it lacks a bit in a multimedia category.

Pros

  • Great pixel response times
  • Good motion blur
  • Joystick
  • Good for 60 Hz

Cons

  • Lower contrast ratio
  • No USB-C
  • Worse colors
