Yeah me too. That doesn’t look right at all, unless those measurements were taken in the sRGB preset and emulation mode.Bit confused about the DCI P3 coverage in the rtings review.

In the Gamer 1 and other native gamut modes It has 97.5% DCI-P3 coverage according to my measurements
Anyone know if this monitor would be OK for a little video and picture editing - as well as gaming?
I bought the Dell TN monitor a while back and although gaming it was OK, for pictures it was awful and had to go.
very good sRGB emulation mode including a factory calibration if you want to work with that colour space specifically. for video though you may well prefer the wider DCI-P3 gamut of the native modes have a look at the review for details: https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/lg_27gl850.htmDoesn't have to be bang on. My current monitor is an old Hazro 27" which I've always found very good.
If the LG provides at least the same standard as the Hazro in colour reproduction I'll be very happy to buy the LG. Not really bothered if it takes a while to arrive.
Anyone know what ocuk exclusive actually means? Will no other retailers be selling this at all at any point?

Feel free to ask any questions
Seems like your major gripe is the contrast ratio being sub par.
Compared to other IPS monitors like the ad27Qd with a contrast ratio of 1170 will people notice the 300 contrast ratio dip on the lg?
For gaming (the Witcher, borderlands, Skyrim and some apex, csgo and cod) which IPS 27inch monitor would you recommend? Don't care about ULMB and I refuse to be locked in to Nvidia g sync monitor.
it's sub par but it's not terrible. I think in very dark gaming you MAY spot a bit of difference with the shadow detail, but i dont think it's going to be anything major between the two. The LG is about £65 cheaper and definitely has the better response times overall. if you read my Gigabyte review you will see the response times are decent at 144HZ (speed mode) but if youre using VRR or a lower refresh rate, the overshoot becomes a big problem for lower refresh rates. switching down to the 'balance' mode avoids the overshoot but the response times are then not very good. Personally i think the LG is a better screen, fewer bells and whistles but better gaming performance overall

Thank you for the info and the sticker update At first I was disappointed by the contrast then I realised the contrast is technically better then my Dell U2711 and I never had any problems with contrast on that.it's sub par but it's not terrible.

Yeah off the top of my head I remember reading that the gigabyte monitor uses the new inno IPS panel which has better colours than the previous IPS panels but at the cost of response times.
Does the LG have better colour accuracy than the gigabyte?
Also I do play on console from time to time. I think I remember reading in your article that vrr is like 48-100hz via HDMI. But can you confirm that on Xbox one X, 120hz supported via HDMI on the LG monitor?
Also which GPU did you have in your pc for calibration? Do you recommend using your ICC profile with a Navi GPU?
EDIT: What is the difference between profiles, gamer 1, gamer 2, FPS, RTS and why would RTS even need its own profile?
How often does TFTCentral measure the contrast?
From 730-930:1 I have already seen everything with the LG.
I think that it also depends on the device and software + the settings.
If you only change a few things on the 34, the contrast will drift a lot after calibration.
