Our take on the LG 27 UltraGear G6 IPS QHD Gaming Monitor
The LG UltraGear G6 is a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor built for fast play: a 300Hz IPS panel, 1ms response time and both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync Compatible support. IPS gives it wide viewing angles and better color than the TN and VA panels common at this speed, though contrast is weaker than VA. It suits competitive players who want high frame rates at 1440p without stepping up to a larger or pricier display. Reviewers rate its motion handling and color well; HDR is the usual entry-level kind, bright in highlights but short of true HDR impact.
- 300Hz refresh with 1ms response for very low motion blur
- QHD 2560x1440 resolution balances sharpness and frame rate
- IPS panel gives accurate color and wide viewing angles
- Works with both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync Compatible cards
- DisplayPort and HDMI inputs cover PC and console use

Questions and answers
- Is 300Hz worth it over a 165Hz or 240Hz monitor?
- Only if your PC pushes very high frame rates in competitive games. At 1440p that takes a strong GPU. For slower single-player games the gain over 165Hz is small.
- Does it work with an Nvidia graphics card?
- Yes. It is G-Sync Compatible and also supports AMD FreeSync, so variable refresh works on either brand over DisplayPort.
- Can it reach 300Hz over HDMI?
- Usually not. Plan on DisplayPort from your GPU to hit the full 300Hz; HDMI is better for consoles or secondary devices.
- Is the HDR good enough to matter?
- It is entry-level HDR without local dimming, so highlights brighten but blacks stay gray. Treat it as a bonus, not a reason to buy.
- What is in the box?
- The monitor, a stand, and the usual power and signal cables. Check the listing for which cable is included, since DisplayPort is what you need for full refresh.
- Is 27 inches right for 1440p?
- Yes for most desks. Pixel density is sharp at this size, and the screen stays easy to scan in fast games.
