The LG 27GP850-B sits in an unusually good spot for a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor: a real Nano IPS panel running at 165Hz (overclockable to 180Hz) with a genuine 1ms GtG response time, at a price that undercuts most OLED competitors by a wide margin.

Color performance is where Nano IPS earns its keep — LG rates the panel at roughly 98% DCI-P3, which is unusually wide for a monitor primarily marketed at gamers rather than colorists. Combined with VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification and both NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium support, the 27GP850-B works cleanly with either GPU vendor without hunting for a workaround.

The stand is fully adjustable — tilt, height, and pivot — and the three-side bezel is thin enough that a dual-monitor 27GP850-B setup looks genuinely cohesive rather than like two separate screens bolted together.
