Our take on the LG MONITOR IPS 27 UHD 4K 1 MS 144HZ HDMI DP HAS 27GN950-B ULTRAGEAR

The LG 27GN950-B is a 27-inch UltraGear gaming monitor with a 4K Nano IPS panel, 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time. It is one of the few 4K monitors that pairs high resolution with fast gaming speed, and it adds DisplayHDR 600, DCI-P3 color coverage and HDMI plus DisplayPort inputs. It suits gamers who want sharp 4K detail and high frame rates, and creators who need accurate color in the same screen. Against 1440p 240 Hz rivals it trades some competitive speed for much finer detail; against 60 Hz 4K office monitors it is far quicker but costs more and demands a strong graphics card.
