Introduction
The LG 27GP750-B UltraGear is a 27-inch Full HD gaming monitor designed to elevate your gaming experience. Featuring a lightning-fast 240Hz refresh rate and a rapid 1ms response time, this monitor promises to keep you ahead of the competition. But does it live up to the hype? I put this monitor through its paces to find out.
Key Features
The LG 27GP750-B is packed with features that cater to serious gamers:

Performance
The LG 27GP750-B delivers on its promises, offering exceptional performance for competitive gaming. The 240Hz refresh rate is truly noticeable, especially in fast-paced games. The combination of the high refresh rate and the 1ms response time delivers a smooth and responsive gaming experience, eliminating any perceptible lag or blurring. I was able to track enemies and react quickly in games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Apex Legends.
The IPS panel provides excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles, ensuring that the visuals remain vibrant and clear even when viewing the screen from off-center positions. HDR10 support enhances the visual experience, adding depth and vibrancy to the colors. While it’s not a high-end HDR implementation, it still makes a noticeable difference in games with HDR support.
