About this deal

The “Normal” setting presented some ghosts, in line with other IPS monitors I’ve put through this test. The table to the right then explains whether that overdrive control needs to be adjusted by the user depending on the refresh rate (not ideal), or whether adaptive overdrive is utilised to keep things simple. You can thankfully still adjust this if you like, it’s not locked like brightness is on many screens in the sRGB mode. Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen.

We also went through the additional ‘validation’ set on the right, this took around 3 minutes to complete. An important thing to consider for most users is how a screen will perform out of the box and with some basic manual adjustments.The comparisons made in this section try to give you a better view of how each screen performs, particularly out of the box which is what is going to matter to most consumers. Just like it’s the case with all IPS panel monitors, some IPS glow is noticeable, especially in dark rooms and dark scenes, but it’s manageable.

It is easy enough to obtain a suitable luminance for your working conditions and individual preferences, but a reliable factory setup in gamma, white point and colour accuracy is important and some (gamma especially) are not as easy to change accurately without a calibration tool. You can use our settings and try our calibrated ICC profile if you wish, which are available in our ICC profile database. You can certainly see chroma sub-sampling when you use that old method especially in desktop applications, but that was not necessary now that DSC was being used. If, on the other hand, you need a monitor for color-critical work, the LG 27GN950 is a better option due to its superior color consistency whereas the G7 will do fine for basic content creation where color accuracy is not as important. Keep in mind also that to power a screen at 4K and up to 160Hz you are going to need a very good system and high end graphics card anyway.The stand is a matte black plastic colour and is thick and chunky, providing a sturdy and stable base for the display. Information about some of the main accessories included in the standard packaging of the current model.

Other features include variable backlight, DFC (adjusts brightness according to the screen), and Smart Energy Saving – all of which we recommend leaving disabled for the optimal image quality. However, that is very easily controlled through the brightness setting (on most screens) and should not impact the other areas being measured anyway. Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. This has helped correct the white point to 6555k and reduce the brightness to a much more comfortable level.This seemed to work very well and provides an excellent way to boost the capability of existing DisplayPort 1. The LG 27GN950 input lag amounts to only ~4ms which makes for imperceptible delay between your actions and the result on the screen. If you move your viewing position back, which is probably likely for movies and games keep in mind, the effect reduces as you do not have such an extreme angle from your eye position to the screen edges. According to Nvidia, this rating means that it’s guaranteed to play without artifacts, and in my testing, it performed flawlessly.
