Deal Details
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-2...Id=6437476

Notable Specs:
  • 27" QHD (2560 x 1440)
  • 144Hz refresh rate
  • Aspect Ratio 16:9
  • IPS Panel
  • HDR
  • G-SYNC (NVIDIA Adaptive Sync), FreeSync Premium (AMD Adaptive Sync)
  • Display Connections: 2x HDMI, 1x Display Port 1.4
  • VESA mountable
My Experience with this Monitor:
I have this monitor (or possibly a slightly older version of the same model, purchased around 2021-22) and it's BEAUTIFUL. I have it mounted nicely via the VESA mount. I'm a web designer/developer and I love this thing. The color is really nice too. Doesn't show too yellow/blue/purple like some cheaper monitors. I also use this monitor for all of my PC gaming and it does a swell job. I never notice any weird artifacts or anything. The refresh rate is great. The one issue I noticed with mine: there is a small portion of the screen (around 3-4 inch diameter) that looks like the pixels are slightly blue-er than the rest. At first this really bugged me, but I honestly never notice it anymore. It's very subtle. I figured this is just a factory defect, but it never bothered me enough to send it back.

Yeah, good to mention this, but this seems like a less versatile monitor. Yes it's 4K, but the refresh rate is only 60Hz. Overall, seems like a less desirable option if you're into gaming. But good call out.

I have 60hz 4k. Looks good on games lots of detail which my 3080 can't go above 60fps which is okay. Bad thing is that 27" 4k will give your desktop icons very tiny or some in game menus will be very small that you can't really read

I don't know from experience since I'm looking to upgrade from vga monitors, but it seems most monitors i see posted as slick deals in the <$250 range have 250nits. And when somone comments about 250 not being high enough, its because of HDR

Seems like a really good deal. Anything I'm missing? Wondering why it's not getting more upvotes or popularity

I'm kind of wondering the same thing. I just want a good budget QHD 27 in gaming monitor and from the research I've done this is pretty solid. The very little adjustment on the stand I think is not great for some ppl tho

seems like a YMMV...not in stock at any stores near me, and no shipping option either.
