Gaming monitor (LG 27GL850-B) - 27 inch, 1440p, IPS monitor review

[Demon_Hunter]

Hi all,

Anyone using the LG 27GL850-B monitor with the EVGA RTX 3080Ti FTW3 Ultra? Or any RTX 30 series card?

How is the quality? Any comment or counter-recommendations?

If you can find the Dell S2721DGF for cheaper it isn't a bad option too. It uses the same panel as the 27GL850.

I have 2 of these monitors, both paired with 2 separate rtx 3070. Very good and seamless performance.

I also own a Dell S2721dgf. Performance is similar on both but I prefer LG for its ergonomics and adjustability, as well as out of the box colour. Same panel but I feel LG is superior.

however, maybe I will be selling either my LG27GL850 or Dell monitor I may switch my display to LG 48 oled or wait for 42 inch to be released.

just FYI if anyone is still looking for a monitor.

Dell S2721DGF is now $499 on the dell website.

Good price! Is this monitor good? I think for the price its really attractive. Between curved and flat screen, i do prefer curved screen better. Thoughts?

It's nothing you can't fix with a $200 colourimeter. That is beside the fact that a panel's colour accuracy will deteriorate over time anyway if you don't occasionally recalibrate your display.

Yes i saw it too! Indeed is weird. I wonder if the 32” could compensate for the brightness & HDR. 27GP850 is around 850

Tbh idk, but just buy 32 la, better for watching shows. Earlier got 1 bro say he know best place $599, Lazada sale tmr, now LG official store selling 649 sgd, should be around 600 ish tomorrow 7/7 sale.

But I still stuck in decision making, scared later get LG 48 oled overkill and cmi for productivity. I do have a rtx 3070 setup though, can game in 1440p 120hz on 48 inch oled display.

I am able to let go one of my monitors at reasonable price. 27GL850/Dell 2721DGF, if anyone interested do pm me.
