LG27" Ultragear™ OLED QHD Gaming Monitor with 240Hz .03ms GtG & nVIDIA® G-SYNC® Compatible,Black

The GoodMotion Clarity is amazing for gaming. While 120-144 Hz is the sweet spot for most people, the bump to 240 Hz is still noticeable.Contrast Ratio is practically infinite. If you had black wallpaper and no desktop icons or taskbar, you'd probably not think the monitor was even turned on.If you have been using a not-so-great IPS panel or an even older TN panel you will be having an eyegasm. The colors are vibrant and accurate. However, you might want to mess with the settings because the white point (at least on my unit) runs a little warm.Response Times are superb, this goes for both the input lag and pixel response times. The short of it is input lag is you is the delay between you making an input (mouse click/button press) and it shows on screen (there is still network latency and rendering latency to consider, but that is not something the monitor is responsible for). Pixel response times are how fast the pixels can change. This means that if your refresh rate refreshes faster than the pixel can respond you get ghosting, since the pixel cannot physically change fast enough to the next color/brightness/etc.The BadThe brightness is in the 190 - 210 nits range for typical SDR content, just note that there might be some unit-to-unit variance. For reference, your smartphone (anything newer than 2019) should have around 400 - 600 nits of brightness. Moreover, in a dark/dimly lit room, this monitor will fare just fine since you typically only need anywhere from 100 - 120 nits. However, in office scenarios or brightly lit rooms, you will need 250 - 300 to overcome some glare, if any, to have a great viewing experience.The "babying" an OLED monitor needs. The risk of burn-in or image retention, while largely improved upon vs previous OLED tech, will still need some steps if you want longevity on par with that of LED LCD displays. Please read the manual. The short of it is, you're going to have to run some sort of pixel or picture cleaning every 4 hours of use and every 500 hours of use. So, in a regular 8-hour work day. There will be roughly 20 minutes of downtime since you have to let the 4-hour cleaning cycle run twice midday and at the end.Anecdotally - My unit had a dead green subpixel. Now, LG and most other manufacturers might say that this is acceptable, but I'd argue that it isn't. For a product that is in the $1000 tier of monitors, you would expect it to be flawless. If you have a dead subpixel, a dead pixel, or a stuck pixel it is a manufacturing defect, you wouldn't buy a brand-new phone or car with a manufacturing defect, would you? Why treat this any differently?Text Clarity still seems to be an issue with OLEDs that don't use a conventional subpixel layout. To explain briefly, each pixel typically consists of 3 sub-pixels (red, green, blue) If all those subpixels are turned on with equal intensity, you see white and if all are off you see black. At least on Windows, ClearType typically expects an RGB layout for the subpixels. HOWEVER, this monitor has an RWBG layout which confuses the hell out of ClearType and it does its best to reproduce the text as accurately as it can. This results in text looking like it has shadows or is blurry. I noticed it, but others in my family didn't. It was about a 70/30 split in favor of people noticing the blurriness.

I want to start by saying I’m more of a FPS gamer I play games like apex, call of duty and rainbow six. So if you’re not I’ll save you the time to skip to another review. Now to me this is a great monitor especially at the price I got it for at about 600 bucks used. I bought a very good condition monitor with about 30hrs previously logged. You can find that in the information tab to insure you are ok with the amount of hrs previously recorded. (Shown in image 3) I want to address the main issue every one seems to be saying which is the monitor brightness is very dim. That is just not true. In my first image that is the monitor turned on during the day, and in the 2nd image is the monitor at night and in a area of the game that would usually have very dark corners if I didn’t tweak the black stabilizer(turn off energy saver mode as well).Also the glare reducer coat on the screen everyone seems to hate is not noticeable to me and my eyes. As stated earlier if you are a competitive gamer like me then this is a dream up to date monitor with great features like vrr and hdmi2.1 that will give you smooth seamless frames and the image detail of 1440p just makes tracking enemies a lot better, especially for my PS5/Xbox people it’s like I upgraded my hardware in my system.

The monitor's design and remote control are impressive, but I'm disappointed by the picture quality and brightness, which are below par. I can't justify giving it even one star.The gap in brightness between this monitor and my other OLED screen is just too much. Despite liking the design and the convenience of the remote, the brightness problem is a deal-breaker. Sadly, I have to return this product.Even after trying various settings and doing some research, the issue persists. The brightness remains frustratingly low, even on the vivid mode. Plus, the color reproduction leaves much to be desired, making the viewing experience less enjoyable.As for reading text on it, it's pretty much a lost cause.
