Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

With the 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time of this monitor, you can game with smooth images constantly.
Thanks to the FreeSync and G-Sync, your AMD or NVIDIA video card will synchronize with the refresh rate of your monitor.
The base of this monitor is relatively large and takes up a lot of space on your desk.
This monitor isn't adjustable in height, you could use a monitor arm for that.

Top screen, with some random quality control

good colors
High resfresh rate
GSync
The quality can be disappointing (see review)

My first purchase was very disappointing, the screen had an orange "cloud" in the bottom right corner, the menu lever also felt a bit rickety. I sent that screen back and after some further research it turns out that this monitor can be a bit hit or miss in terms of quality. Finally decided to give it another try and ordered a new set. Both screens are excellent this time. Image is great, no weird effects. The menu stick is also a lot stiffer / firmer. Obviously had a Monday morning model the first time.

27” 1440 is a good upgrade over my previous 24” 1080p. The refresh rate is great (especially with GSync). Image is also a bit sharper and the colors are a huge upgrade (first had TN) in short, very satisfied with it!

Another tip for new owners: if you notice that the brightness seems to fluctuate, the monitor has energy saving turned on by default. Turn it off and it won't bother you anymore.

Review is 6,4 out of 10.

Orange glow across screen

Thin bezel
Best 144+ hz for the price
High chance of screen glow

Ordered for the first time and as indicated here, there was also an orange glow in my screen. Returned and got a new one and the same problem again... Now I read somewhere that 30% of the screens have this problem. Now Coolblue can't do anything about it, but I think that Coolblue should point out to LG that this is not really customer-friendly... LG should check products better before they are scrapped.

Good display for the price

Easy to set up
165hz display
Many ports (for PC and console)
Not true HDR

So far easy to use and great to play on. I would have liked to see more image quality settings; except that this is available through software for PC (but not in itself).
