Fast-refresh gaming sits at the heart of LG’s UltraGear range, and this 27-inch G5 aims to take on budget favourites from AOC, MSI and ASUS TUF. You’re getting a Full HD IPS panel pushed to 200Hz, which prioritises smooth motion and responsive aiming over sheer pixel density. At 27 inches, 1080p can look a bit softer up close, but it suits competitive titles where frame rates matter more than razor-sharp text.

Who is this monitor for?

PC players chasing high FPS in shooters, racers and esports games will appreciate the 200Hz ceiling and 1ms GtG response for reduced blur. Support for both G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium helps keep gameplay fluid by matching the refresh rate to your GPU, cutting tearing and stutter. HDR10 is included, but on monitors in this class it’s best treated as a compatibility tick rather than a true HDR upgrade.

  • 27-inch IPS panel, wider viewing angles than typical TN alternatives
  • 200Hz refresh rate via DisplayPort for smoother competitive play
  • HDMI and DisplayPort connections for PC and console flexibility
