    Overall, a very good 2k monitor for its price.
    Beautiful IPS panel, low input lag, high refresh rate (165 or 180 oc'ed). Syncs well with Nvidia RTX GPU (GSync compatible).

    Notes:
    - Purchased for 392€. At higher prices that I see fluctuating periodically (around 570€), there may be better options.
    - I am lucky and it does not have (at least noticeable) backlight bleeding.
    - The "deep sleep" DisplayPort issue in multi-monitor setup that some LG monitors are said to have does not seem to occur in either Windows 11 or MacOS Monterey. As I leave the windows, I find them. (I read on Reddit subs that there were issues with Windows 10).
    - The stand takes up a lot of space, so I recommend using a monitor arm.

    When we talk about health issues, it's not even worth mentioning image quality and response time and the like. The monitor with this nano IPS panel is simply DANGEROUS for some people, including me and 2 other friends of mine, it affects them a lot, after 20 minutes of use they started getting terrible headaches and eye pain, I have a video where my friend was playing and his eyes were literally tearing with excellent lighting in the room and low brightness! I really wonder how LG has released such a panel. For those who are not affected by this unacceptable panel: I mention that it has terrible viewing angles, especially if you look at it slightly from above, even the TN panel I had has better ones and in scenes with dark spots on the LG they don't even show up! (in the photos the right one is the LG). Of course, I sold the monitor because LG did not accept returns. The first and last time I choose LG.

    I have seen various monitors for myself, this is the best monitor for 2k and under 200hz.
    - Latest IPS panel technology, essentially 180hz
    - Very low response times
    - Many settings in the menu to experiment with directly from the PC
    - With the latest firmware it has a plug and play mode
    - 3 years 0 pixel warranty, can be extended to 5 years for 60 euros from LG
    - The best part of all is that it comes calibrated from the factory, if you don't have the tool needed, you can't calibrate any monitor by eye, generally look at reviews pre-calibration on any monitor if you're not going to adjust it properly.
    The only negative is that the base does not swivel left-right, easily solved by purchasing a separate base.

    Negatives: minimal backlight bleed on the top left. It is not bothersome even in movies with a dark background.

    Positives: very good colors for gaming and movies. Very good response time and many customization options.

    The other option was an Acer monitor that had slightly better image quality, but I chose to purchase the LG due to the 0 pixel warranty. For its price, it is very good.
    I have it permanently connected to an Xbox Series S at 1440p resolution.
    I am satisfied with the purchase and I recommend it!

    This is the right model for Gaming and the best of LG's series. Check out the Review link here from the Hardware Unboxed channel -----> https://youtu.be/ItPCOFR5xuU. Also, here is the Review from the Rtings.com page -----> https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gp850-b. After checking all the GL, GN, GP models, etc. on Rtings.com, I realized that people made mistakes in their purchases, either confusing the models or for some other reason. Do market research first to avoid many regrets later.

    Overall, a very good 2k monitor for its price.
    Beautiful IPS panel, low input lag, high refresh rate (165 or 180 oc'ed). Syncs well with Nvidia RTX GPU (GSync compatible).

    Notes:
    - Purchased for 392€. At higher prices that I see fluctuating periodically (around 570€), there may be better options.
    - I am lucky and it does not have (at least noticeable) backlight bleeding.
    - The "deep sleep" DisplayPort issue in multi-monitor setup that some LG monitors are said to have does not seem to occur in either Windows 11 or MacOS Monterey. As I leave the windows, I find them. (I read on Reddit subs that there were issues with Windows 10).
    - The stand takes up a lot of space, so I recommend using a monitor arm.

    When we talk about health issues, it's not even worth mentioning image quality and response time and the like. The monitor with this nano IPS panel is simply DANGEROUS for some people, including me and 2 other friends of mine, it affects them a lot, after 20 minutes of use they started getting terrible headaches and eye pain, I have a video where my friend was playing and his eyes were literally tearing with excellent lighting in the room and low brightness! I really wonder how LG has released such a panel. For those who are not affected by this unacceptable panel: I mention that it has terrible viewing angles, especially if you look at it slightly from above, even the TN panel I had has better ones and in scenes with dark spots on the LG they don't even show up! (in the photos the right one is the LG). Of course, I sold the monitor because LG did not accept returns. The first and last time I choose LG.

    I have seen various monitors for myself, this is the best monitor for 2k and under 200hz.
    - Latest IPS panel technology, essentially 180hz
    - Very low response times
    - Many settings in the menu to experiment with directly from the PC
    - With the latest firmware it has a plug and play mode
    - 3 years 0 pixel warranty, can be extended to 5 years for 60 euros from LG
    - The best part of all is that it comes calibrated from the factory, if you don't have the tool needed, you can't calibrate any monitor by eye, generally look at reviews pre-calibration on any monitor if you're not going to adjust it properly.
    The only negative is that the base does not swivel left-right, easily solved by purchasing a separate base.

    Negatives: minimal backlight bleed on the top left. It is not bothersome even in movies with a dark background.

    Positives: very good colors for gaming and movies. Very good response time and many customization options.

    The other option was an Acer monitor that had slightly better image quality, but I chose to purchase the LG due to the 0 pixel warranty. For its price, it is very good.
    I have it permanently connected to an Xbox Series S at 1440p resolution.
    I am satisfied with the purchase and I recommend it!

    This is the right model for Gaming and the best of LG's series. Check out the Review link here from the Hardware Unboxed channel -----> https://youtu.be/ItPCOFR5xuU. Also, here is the Review from the Rtings.com page -----> https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gp850-b. After checking all the GL, GN, GP models, etc. on Rtings.com, I realized that people made mistakes in their purchases, either confusing the models or for some other reason. Do market research first to avoid many regrets later.

    To put it as it is, the screen is in all resolutions above 1920×1080 60ghz maximum...
    But they advertise 140 and 180 OC.
