Q: Is this a G-sync or freesnyc
A: It doesn’t have a physical G-sync module, but the FreeSync on it is officially supported by G-sync so you can use it with G-sync.
Q: Can this monitor run g-sync and HDR at the same time?
A: No, this monitor is not a G-Sync Ultimate monitor. G-Sync Ultimate displays are certified for ultra-low latency, multi-zone backlights, DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, 1,000 nits max brightness with HDR video or games and to run at its highest refresh rate at its max resolution due to an "advanced" Nvidia G-sync processor, so if you do not want to have to pick between G-Sync and HDR, a G-Sync Ultimate monitor is necessary. ^CP
Q: FreeSync over HDMI? Want to use Xbox One X on this at 2K 120hz w/ adaptive freesync
A: I was able to set the Xbox One X to 1440p & 120hz with this monitor, but you must first turn off adaptive sync in the monitors settings. Otherwise it will change one of the settings back to 1080p or 60hz.
Q: Can someone please confirm this has a display port along with an HDMI port ??
A: This has 2 HDMI ports and 1 Display port. I attached a photo but sorry about the quality. Hope this helps
Q: I have my own 100mm x 100mm vesa mount for my own dual setup. Will it work with this monitor?
A: The 27GL850 is compatible with mounts that use the VESA pattern 100 x 100 mm. If your mount has this pattern, it should be compatible. ^CP
A: Hi Alex, the LG 27GL850 has an excellent 4ms GTG average in Default mode (no inverse ghosting), the best IPS performance on the market. The amazing clarity and quick response time shows when I play Rocket League at 144Hz. See the screenshot for comparison to other 144Hz contenders. I would also recommend the cheaper LG 27GN850 if you don't need a USB hub, as it uses the same panel as this one.
A: Each retailer that sells the LG 27GL850 27'' UltraGear™ Nano IPS 1ms Gaming Monitor with G-Sync® Compatibility, Model # 27GL850 will have a different date for deliveries and that information is proprietary information that only the retailer can provide you with. Contact Best Buy's Customer Service to inquire if they still have a rain checl policy. Some Best Buy stores offer rain checks when advertised products are out of stock...^IFV
Q: What is HDR and how do I enable it with this monitor?
A: HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, a color technology that enables a monitor to display a broader spectrum of colors and contrasts. Basically, this means that an HDR monitor more realistically displays nuances and color tones, and shows more detail when it comes to light and dark. It will automatically detect video with HDR and will display it appropriately. If you need assistance with using your monitor, please contact our computer specialists by calling 800-243-0000. ^CP
