The screen has an external power supply and the screen also comes packaged with the power cable and adapter that you need. There was also quick access to the volume control and brightness settings from this joystick which was handy.

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.
The SpyderX Elite sensor works in tandem with a software suite to assign a score to different sections of a display’s performance and you can see how it fared on the score card above. In fact it is arguable that the wide range of 2560 x 1440 resolution panels in the 27″ sector are about as high a resolution as you want to go, without making fonts and icons too small natively. Like the other LG Nano IPS displays we’ve tested like the 27GL850 and 38GL950G the 1ms G2G spec is only possible if you switch the monitor to the maximum ‘Faster’ response time setting which is documented on many of the LG. An X-rite i1 Display Pro Plus colorimeter was used to validate the black depth and contrast ratios due to lower end limitations of the i1 Pro device. Gaming screens invariably give you a control for the overdrive impulse in the OSD menu which can help you tweak things, but response time performance and overshoot levels can vary depending on the active refresh rate.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. We use cookies, including cookies from third parties, to enhance your user experience and the effectiveness of our marketing activities. The support for G-sync and FreeSync will be very useful given the significant system demands of running a screen at 4K resolution and at high refresh rate.
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. Most of the OSD controls are locked at the end, although brightness is left available which is good news if you want to change that for different times of the day, or to your liking.
It’s always good to have simple user control over firmware updates for bug fixes and improvements, without needing to send the screen back to the manufacturer if something was ever identified (and evident by some of the early bugs we encountered, now fixed). You can also manually enable or disable local dimming – or set it to ‘auto’ which will enable local dimming whenever HDR content is detected. With quick cyclic switching between different color tones, an illusion for a new intermediate color tone is created. Height adjustment is also very smooth, maybe a little stiff moving it downwards but overall very good.
For those wanting a high pixel density for CAD, design, photo work etc, this is a really good option. Performance during VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) – bearing in mind that the refresh rate will fluctuate anywhere from 1Hz up to the maximum supported by the screen (e. Now that my machine is it's 3rd room in the last year and I have better cooling the monitor fans have not come on except for powering it up which then goes away after a few seconds. The display was set with a high 80% brightness which was far too bright for general use and as with most displays will need to be turned down. The OSD settings were adjusted as shown in the table above, as guided during the calibration process and measurements.
There is very good compliance to the refresh rate as a result, meaning no additional smearing or blurring is introduced. The level of glow on this panel was a little more purple in colour than the other Nano IPS panels we’ve tested like the LG 27GL850 and LG 38GL950G where it was a bit more white, but it still remained fairly typical for an IPS-type panel. We also went through the additional ‘validation’ set on the right, this took around 3 minutes to complete.
Great Deal
