![LG Electronics 27GN850 27 Inch Gaming Monitor (2560 x 1440) Nano IPS 1ms GtG, 144Hz, HDR10, G-SYNC Compatible, Black [Amazon Exclusive]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FigzhodjL._AC_SS450_.jpg)
Okay maybe ill make a small comment - I have been using IPS panels for the past 6 years - apart from the obvious that the colour gamut won't be the same as an IPS panel - I really cannot fault this screen at all, I want to fault it but cant, its incredible and has blown me away -especially considering its a TN panel.
This screen is literally perfect. Well done Dell. Viewing angle isn't a problem at all, you can sit at the side and still get a great picture. No dead pixels, no bleed. Blacks don't look like someone is shining a torch on the screen any more!
As mentioned the monitor looks stunning, it's simplistic and stylish with a very thin bezel - There isn't really a bezel tbh, the screen is totally flush, its only when you turn it on that you notice the thin edging where the screen ends - I think this looks stunning and is so much better than the old chunky designs of past.
The height adjustment is also really nice and doesn't require any unscrewing or anything at the back - simply lift up or push down and it will hold into place wherever you need it. You can tilt it and rotate it too if needed.
Compared to my previous 32" LG TV, the screen is hugely improved. The resolution is obviously much higher but the clarity of text and sharpness and detail are stunning. Because of this monitor being 144 hertz it is silky smooth running applications, and you can now enable G-Sync outside of games which makes it even better.
Gaming performance is going to depend on your graphics card capability. Obviously with a 144 hertz monitor your aim is to hit 144fps. However regardless of if your graphics card can hit that mark on all games this monitor delivers smooth, responsive and gorgeously detailed graphics. If you are worried about jumping to a 27 inch from a 24 inch, don't be. If you are worried that it will lag don't be it doesn't. This is a top monitor for gaming on.
Now the anti glare........ the room that this monitor is in is a south facing room so gets a lot of sun and the anti glare is a god send. I do get light on the screen but this just makes it noticeable. For people saying it make the text look fuzzy they must be sitting about 1cm away from the screen, after all it's 1440p the text looks fantastic.
I'm running a i5 6600k 4.4 O'c
Z170 MSI gaming 7
32gb kingston hyper predator 3000mhz
Samsung 950 pro m.2 256gb
Kfa2 980ti oc black edition.
this system has no problem getting the best out of this monitor.
There is one massive down side for me. The item turned up all plugged in and the Xbox one didn't work (I know this monitor is 1440 and the Xbox is 1080 but the Xbox one will work on this monitor)in the HDMI. So i tested the PS4 this didn't work either. The PC worked great through the DP so i tried that with the HDMI and nothing, it was dead.
I called Dell directly and we went through some tests and after about 40 minutes of no luck they just turned around and said we are going to send you a replacement straight out within 2 days. If we don't have his model in stock would you like an upgrade,...... well yes please.
Dell's customer service is one of the best I've ever dealt with.
Another very little thing is once you have plugged the leads in you can see them at the bottom of the monitor which to me is very annoying as you cannot bend them enough to hide them.
Saying all that i would wholeheartedly recommend the monitor to anyone.
