## Description

Review: The best monitor I’ve ever owned - The LG UltraGear G8 Gaming Monitor (27G850A) is easily the best monitor I’ve ever had. The 4K resolution is incredibly sharp, making games look stunning and text crystal clear. Everything feels smooth and responsive, and it’s a massive upgrade over any previous display I’ve used. Colours are vibrant, contrast is excellent, and it performs brilliantly for both gaming and everyday use. It pairs perfectly with a high-end PC and really lets powerful hardware shine. Overall, an outstanding monitor that completely lives up to the hype. If you’re looking for a premium 4K gaming display, this one is absolutely worth it.
Review: It's really good and it comes with a displayport lead! - Right then. Been using this new-fangled LG monitor for about a month now, and it's time for a verdict. When the box arrived, I thought, "Good grief, that's half the size of my shed door." Thought it'd be too much. I was wrong. For work, it's a godsend for these old eyes. I run one of those Linux contraptions, and I'll be darned if it didn't just work the second I plugged it in. No faffing about. The screen is so big I can have my code on one side and a web page on the other and still have room to breathe. Text is sharp as a tack. The colours look right, not all washed out like some screens. Most importantly, no eye strain after a long session. The youngsters will be interested in the games. Well, I fired up a couple, for science, and it was smoother than a freshly tarmacked road, a surface I'm beginning to believe is mythical. For the price, about £280, it feels like a steal. It's a solid, honest bit of kit that does exactly what it promises, and does it well. And here's a bit of wisdom for you: check the box before you go buying cables. It comes with one, a lesson this old fool learned the hard way. Bottom line: If you want a big, clear screen that just works, buy this one. It's good. Really good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Monitor - great colours, super smooth and excellent value!
*by L***I on 6 March 2025*

Absolutely love this monitor. The colours are vibrant, the brightness is great, and the contrast is solid. The display is super smooth and sharp. It does have a little tint out the box but a quick tweak to the R/G/B values in the OSD fixes the white balance. Also love the design, looks very sleek on my desk. There's barely any input lag, and combined with the 180Hz refresh rate and g-sync, it's excellent for gaming. That said, there is a bit of backlight bleed which is noticeable when there's something dark on the screen, although to be fair it's not uncommon for an IPS panel. Overall though, it’s an awesome monitor for the price I paid (about £230). Edit: For anyone on Windows 10/11, go on Settings > System > Display > Colour management and turn off "Automatically manage colour for apps", it makes a night and day difference to the colours. Edit 2: For my monitor settings, I turned off smart energy saving in general, and changed adaptive-sync to extended
