Is 200Hz worth it over 144Hz?

Yes for fast games. The jump from 144Hz to 200Hz is noticeable in shooters, though smaller than going from 60Hz to 144Hz.

Does it work well with a PS5 or Xbox Series X?

Yes over HDMI, but consoles cap at 120Hz, so you won't use the full 200Hz there.

Is the IPS panel good for photo editing?

Reasonably. Color and viewing angles are strong, but the limited brightness and contrast suit hobby work more than color-critical professional use.

The monitor, a stand, and HDMI and DisplayPort cables, plus power and paperwork.

Do I need a strong GPU for 1440p at 200Hz?

Yes. Hitting 200 fps at 1440p takes a mid-to-high-end card; weaker GPUs will run below the refresh rate.

Does it have built-in speakers?

No. You'll need headphones or external speakers.

Our take on the LG UltraGear 27" QHD 1440p 200Hz IPS Gaming Monitor

The LG UltraGear 27" is a 1440p IPS gaming monitor with a 200Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. IPS gives it wide viewing angles and better color than the TN and VA panels common at this tier, while 200Hz keeps fast motion smooth. It suits PC gamers who want sharp 1440p detail and strong color for both play and everyday work. Against 240Hz rivals it gives up some peak speed, and at 300 cd/m² brightness it is dimmer than HDR-focused monitors, but it balances speed, color and resolution well.
