Possibly perfect gaming panel? LG 27GL850G

[Uaon]

LG just announced their new 27GL850G 1440p Nano IPS G-Sync monitor, which features a 160Hz Overclock. I have a 4k Nano IPS Tv and love it so I really hope this lives up to the same quality. It's a day one buy for me. https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27GL850G-B-gaming-monitor

Does seem to tick all the boxes. Everything seems overpriced ATM with monitors so can't see it being cheap unfortunately.

Doesn't tick my UW box.

Close but no HDR and does it have 10bit colour? what is the difference between IPS and nano IPS?

Im not worried about HDR honestly, its terrible on PC. Think of Nano IPS as LGs version of Samsungs qled technology, better colours and a larger pallete.

Would be interested if there was a freesync version available.

They already released two ultrawides with nanocell

Ok, this interests me. Has the simple borderless aesthetics of the Dell S2716DG without the ROG gaming RGB nonsense, decent panel technology and IPS.

Assuming that's a standard VESA mount on the back?

All hinges on price...

Thanks so nano IPS doesn’t really offer me anything as all it does is produce a wider colour gamut that I already have with my 8 year old monitor. Still as long as its 10bit or better colour and not a silly price then it might be worthwhile for the 144Hz G-Sync.

I would have bought the 27” ROG if I could find one but haven’t. This looks good.

160hz

160hz

All this overclocking monitors is new to me. Why don’t they all just run at 160hz as default is there some sort of downside?

My guess is £700-800 for this monitor.

@Daniel - LG any idea on release and price ?

I would think £699 - 749 inc Vat - BUT, the outcome of Brexit (exchange rate) may bump this if it doesn't go our way

this is of course not a confirmation of price, but a guestimate

Yea that's what I was thinking price wise. Is there any mention of a release date?

With Nvidia now supporting Freesync it's going to be a interesting to see if consumers pony up the extra for Gysnc tax.

I would take a punt at July/Aug for release - I would be VERY surprised if it was in the first half of the year

@Daniel - LG does that go for the so far unmentioned Freesync variant too? Any ideas on possible prices?

 

[Safetytrousers]

I require 32 inches.
