Hands-on review of the LG 27GL83 1440p 144Hz monitor.
The LG 27GL83A-B is a good 1440p IPS monitor with great gaming performance. In this review, we compare it to the LG 27GL850-B, the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QZ, and the Dell S2719DGF.

It has a remarkably fast response time that delivers fast-moving content with almost no blur trail, and an outstanding low input lag for very responsive gaming sessions. Also, this monitor supports FreeSync variable refresh rate technology and is G-SYNC compatible, offering a nearly tear-free gaming experience. The LG 27GL83A-B can get fairly bright, suitable for most rooms, and supports HDR, although it can't get very bright in that mode. Unfortunately, this monitor can't display deep blacks in a dark room due to the low contrast ratio, so it's not a good choice for late-night gaming.
