LG27QN600-B 27” QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS Computer Monitor Display with FreeSync, sRGB 99% Color Gamut, HDR10 with a 3-Side Virtually Borderless Design, Black

The media could not be loaded. The LG 32 inch monitor boasts not only a vast screen space but also a plethora of settings allowing for fine-tuned customization. Right out of the box, it’s evident that it's designed to impress. But like many, I discovered that while its dazzling effects were immediate, taking the time to calibrate it further enhanced its performance. Relying on the RTINGS calibration guide, I managed to pinpoint settings that worked wonders for me – from adjusting the Black Stabilizer under Game Adjust to fine-tuning color values.But, let’s address an often-overlooked feature: screen brightness control on Windows and Mac. A revelation I recently came across was the monitor's compatibility with programs utilizing DDC/CI, such as TwinkleTray or ClickMonitor. This discovery was monumental. If you've lamented about the screen brightness not syncing natively with your operating system, these programs are the answer. Not only can you manipulate brightness levels, but also adjust contrast. A significant bonus is their ability to schedule brightness changes based on the time of day, catering to those sensitive to screen brightness, like me. This feature significantly reduced my eye strain, making prolonged work or gaming sessions much more comfortable.For Linux users, especially those using Ubuntu with Intel Graphics, there might be compatibility hiccups. However, solutions do exist, even if it means a slight investment in adapters or switches to different desktop environments.Performance-wise, this monitor stands out for both productivity applications and games that aren’t too demanding on refresh rates. FPS gamers might want to look into 120Hz or 144Hz monitors for smoother experiences. Still, for most, the LG 32 inch with its 2K resolution offers impeccable clarity and detail. The inclusion of multiple ports, especially 2 HDMI and 1 Display Port, enhances its versatility, making it suitable for those with multiple devices.In conclusion, the LG 27QN600-B 32 inch monitor is a testament to LG's commitment to delivering quality. It's perfect for diverse uses, from remote working to gaming. But as always, the key is in the details. Delve a little deeper, try some tweaks, and you might just find this monitor surpassing your initial expectations.

I bought three of these. I use one for regular computer use and use all three together when running stock trading charts. The displays look great and work really well independently as well as together, mostly because of the "borderless" frames. I'm so happy with them.The 2560x1440 size is basically a 2K monitor which is, unfortunately, becoming harder to find.I loved the 2K resolution on my old Apple Thunderbolt monitors and I wanted to replicate them, but 4K seemed to be the thing at the time. However, when I tried a 4K monitor, I found that it caused more eye strain so 2K ended up being the sweet spot for me.I'm very happy with the deep blacks, great resolution and good light control.I do a lot of design work on a Mac, but would be happy to use these monitors for that as well if I did not need a PC for charts.The price of these is actually pretty amazing as well.A couple of things to know:-- these use either HDMI (2x) or DP-IN cables, so make sure you have inputs for those types in your computer.-- the stands are not all the same height, so if you are using several monitors, they may not line up. It's close, but I personally would like it better if they were the same height since I extend my screen to span all three monitors as a virtual single screen.-- obviously make sure your graphics cards can handle 2K, especially if using multiple monitors.I'm very happy with these monitors. They were recommended by a friend who uses them for the same reason and he steered me well!

I picked this up to replace an older 1080p TN monitor with something a bit larger. After doing some reading, it seems like 1440p is the best resolution for a 27" monitor, so I went with this one. I mostly use it for gaming, so the 75hz + FreeSync was a big plus for me. Don't believe the hype about 144Hz monitors, your mid-range GPU is never going to be able to churn out more than 75 FPS @ 1440p anyways.For starters, the monitor looks fantastic. The color reproduction is amazing, just be sure to use the "Custom" picture setting mode to remove the color temperature adjustments. Most of the preset picture modes either distort color too much or apply too much of a sharpen filter.So far I haven't had any issues with FreeSync mode. Just be sure to update your display's refresh rate to 75Hz in Windows 10 and enable "variable refresh rate" under the graphics settings. It looks fantastic while gaming with no signs of ghosting or input lag.Unfortunately, the monitor doesn't play nice with Windows 10's HDR mode. Once you enable HDR mode in Windows, you'll lose the ability to modify the "Custom" picture mode settings, leaving all of your non-HDR applications with an ugly warm tint. You can still use the other predefined picture modes, but the lack of fine tuning will be a hindrance. After fighting with it for a few days, I decided it just wasn't worth it and just turned HDR off because it wasn't worth the headache and it didn't seem to actually add much.Lastly, I can't give this a full 5/5 rating because the monitor does have a few flaws. Firstly, the stand feels pretty flimsy. Don't get me wrong, it holds the monitor up, but a monitor this size deserves more than pencil-thin legs. Thankfully, the VESA mount on this monitor is easy to use, so you don't have to use the stand if you don't want to. Secondly, the monitor's on-screen display could use some attention. For example, most of the default shortcuts involve volume adjustments... but this monitor doesn't have speakers. In addition to the HDR issues mentioned earlier, it seems like the monitor tracks separate settings for regular, FreeSync, and HDR modes separately. If you ever adjust your contrast/brightness, you'll need to manually apply those changes to FreeSync and HDR modes as well.But hey, at $230 price point, I'm willing to overlook it.
