About this deal

Adobe RGB (1998) is a color space, developed by Adobe Systems in 1998. It has a wider gamut than the sRGB (mainly in the cyan-green range of colors) and is widely used in professional printing. Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). To be clear, it doesn't need that higher refresh rate to be better, even comparing 144Hz to 144Hz, the 27GP850 is better in terms of response performance, a product of tweaked and improved overdrive modes. Average grey to grey performance, measured across the refresh range, is also an interesting story. The inverse ghosting rate is higher than with the 27GL850, but it also provides a 30% faster response time on average. In general this makes it a bit faster on average than other current-gen fast IPS panels like those found in the MAG274QRF-QD, AW2721D and PG329Q. Moving into color performance now and like LG's previous Nano IPS displays, the 27GP850 also comes with a rated 98% DCi-P3 coverage, which in our testing measured in at 96%, among the best coverage of P3 that we've measured.

Monitori za računare uključeni su u bogatu ponudu tvrtke LG, uključujući: UltraWide™ monitore formata 21:9: Ovi monitori za kompjuter visokih performansi, krcati funkcijama, vrhunski su majstori višeprocesnog rada. Krase ih funkcije UltraWide™ 21:9, četvorostruki Screen Split, kompatibilnost sa Mac®-om, Dual Linkup i neverovatni QHD 1440p. I zakrivljeni i ravni UltraWide monitori su savršeno rešenje za dizajnere, fotografe, gejmere i druge stručnjake kojima je potrebno više prostora za velike ideje. IPS monitori: IPS računarske monitore odlikuju izuzetno uverljive boje, a smanjuju gubitak boje i doprinose održavanju doslednosti boja iz gotovo svakog ugla. LED pozadinsko osvetljenje omogućava prikaz najtamnijih nijansi crne, kao i punoću boje, stvarajući neverovatan kontrast i efekat nijansiranja. 4K monitori: Naši 4K i UHD Digital Cinema monitori sa rezolucijom 4096 x 2160 prikazuju oštre slike sa velikim brojem piksela na ekranu. Rezolucija 4K je više nego četvorostruko veća od standardne rezolucije 1920x1080 Full HD. 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 operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage. Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G). The next step is a full calibration, which we achieved using DisplayCAL. As expected, sRGB results are very strong, and for P3 it's also quite good aside from some very small problems right at the tip of the gamut where that last 2-4% isn't covered.Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. Notably, response time performance is better. Depending on the metric and refresh rate tested, the LG 27GP850 is anywhere from ~5 to 25% faster than the 27GL850. Combined with a higher refresh rate at 180Hz, this new display has visibly superior motion clarity and lower input latency.

Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. The LG 27GN850 is a decent IPS monitor, but it needs a bit of tweaking to maximize the color advantage of its IPS panel. There is no question about its speed since it has low latency and its pixel response time is top-notch. Its compatibility with both VRR solutions is a huge plus, especially for those who upgrade their GPU to the current best every release cycle. A major selling point of the LG 27GP850 is also its proper, functional sRGB emulation mode, which eliminates oversaturation when viewing standard content like YouTube videos or games. Many wide gamut monitors stuff this up and you have no choice but to view an oversaturated image in some instances. Full praise to LG for thinking of both gaming performance and color accuracy and executing well in both areas. The LG 27GN850 is a superb gaming monitor that replaces the well-received LG 27GL850 without changing its winning formula. This monitor is the current sweet spot for enthusiasts, but 144Hz models have become more affordable since we now have 240Hz 1440p and 4K 144Hz variants in the market. What’s most interesting about the LG 27GN850 is if it is a worthy successor to the 27GL850, so let’s go ahead and take a closer look. LG 27GN850 SpecificationsI also quite like how easy it is to access the 27GP850's ports on the rear, where you'll find a DisplayPort, two HDMI connectors and a couple of USB ports. This complicates wall mounting somewhat - this display does have a VESA mount - but I feel the ease of access is worth it. The overall rear design is nice, and I'm glad LG hasn't changed it substantially from previous monitors. 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.

At a fixed 120Hz, the 27GP850 is a very fast monitor and competes favorably with other displays. Like we've talked about before, at the same level of overshoot the 27GP850 is 18% faster than the AG273QXP which uses LG's previous Nano IPS design, and quite a bit faster than the 27GL850 although with more overshoot. 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. Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²). Power consumption has decreased slightly across the generations. The 27GP850 consumes about 16% less power at the same level of brightness after calibration than the 27GL850, a modest improvement to efficiency but not that different to some other 27-inch 1440p gaming monitors that I've benchmarked.Viewing angles are still excellent, so while the 27GP850 may have TN-like contrast, it does offer a much better viewing experience overall. Uniformity on my unit was good without being amazing, not too different from the 27GL850. There was a bit of IPS glow with my model, although not as much as with my 27GL850, and this does tend to vary from unit to unit so whatever I report here may not be what you experience yourself. However I also think that's being a bit unfair to LG. Usually when I talk about displays not delivering a single overdrive mode experience, it's because each mode is unusable at a certain point in the refresh range. That could mean decent performance at 144Hz but severe inverse ghosting at 60Hz. That's not really the case with the 27GP850, and the differences between the Normal and Fast modes are small overall. I actually found it quite hard to decide which mode is better for adaptive sync gaming, ultimately I settled on the Fast mode but overall it's a case where buyers can choose to either prioritize low overshoot with the Normal mode, or speed with the Fast mode, and get a pretty good experience across the board. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.
