[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took me at least 3 months to decide on a monitor that would have all the features I wanted!
Top 2 features: 4k and high refresh rates: PS5 confirmed 4k @ 120hz - HDMI Macbook Pro (M1 Pro) confirmed 4k @ 144hz - Display Port Windows PC confirmed 4k @ 60hz (non-gaming laptop) - HDMI
The 27GP950-B was the all-in-one solution for my gaming, video/photo editing, and my 9 to 5 job.
The colors on the monitor looks great for my Macbook Pro. I was finally able to unlock the visual potential of my PS5. I thought the scaling on a 4k screen would be too small or awkward for my work but it turns out I no longer need a second monitor due to all the desktop space with the 4k resolution.
The settings menu is a little tedious to navigate for selecting inputs and changing other settings, but it’s not a big deal. It was my fault for assuming the signal input would automatically select an input. If this feature is available then I haven’t done enough homework for this monitor.
This model was probably not ideal for editing but it takes care of my other needs for multiple devices. It would have been very nice to have USB-C as an input option for video. The price was on the higher side but it beats purchasing a TV with HDMI 2.1 for my PS5 PLUS a compatible 4k 144hz monitor for my macbook pro.
I had a lot to consider when I was weighing out the pros and cons comparing different options. Overall, I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Thank you LG!
I've been using this monitor for multiple hours everyday since I bought, with no issues. It gets plenty bright and the 4k graphics displayed on this monitor look clean and sharp. If you're looking for a monitor for your Next Gen Console, this is the one to choose. Definitely worth the purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received mine about a week ago and have enjoyed every minute of it. As a console gamer who plays on both PS5 & Xbox Series X I can say that both look beautiful on this monitor. The brightness/HDR really pop and seeing games run at 4K/120fps looking as crisp as they do makes this monitor worth every dollar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The build up for HDMI 2.1 monitors has been a long, overhyped at times one but wow was this monitor worth the hype and wait. I’ve been waiting for this to release to get into a 4k monitor and it is absolutely stunning! From the colors to the picture quality this is a beast!
