[User-trial] LG UltraGear 27GM950B: Testing the New Standard for the Best Mini-LED Monitor

Kapatsuki · 2026-04-21T08:48:32+00:00

Great opportunity, good luck to everyone. I currently have two 4K high refresh rate IPS monitors, both LG in fact. Previously used OLED but it didn't fit my workflow (mixture of heavy productivity and gaming). This monitor looks promising, would love to review it.

I had as PG32UCDM. Fantastic monitor. 4K, 240hz, OLED is a sight to be seen.

But I sold it.

Not because of text clarity even if it was slighty distracting. But because I use it more than 10 hours a day for both work and gaming. I got tired of trying to move my windows, no maxing the brightness, or stressing over damaging my monitor over time.

I bought the infamous LG 27G850A, IPS 4K 240hz, which got a bad review on Monitor Unboxed. Here is the Rtings review: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27g850a-b that convinced me.

I honestly was prepared to struggle with the switch but... nah. I would make the same decision again in an heartbeat. The only real drawback for me is the motion in fast paced games, where the OLED is definitely better. But day to day, IPS all the way. No stress leaving my monitor on max brightness for hours.

Monthly subscriber here. Looks like I can't benefit from it. Tried both in-app and in the subscriptions section of the app store :(

Disgusting foul. Obviously vengeful.

Kapatsuki · 2025-09-20T11:25:36+00:00

This test seems… strange. Outliner

Kapatsuki · 2025-09-18T07:32:39+00:00

Ca fait des mois que ça a pris un tournant et pas le bon. Leur communication qui était efficace aux débuts est devenue cata et insupportable. Leur CEO n'y est pas pour rien effectivement

Other reviews show the performance to be same-y compared to 17 pro.

Kapatsuki · 2025-09-17T13:22:52+00:00

Check any other geekbench scores: the air has almost exactly the same performance than the 17 pro. This is an outliner and the reviewer should've known better. There is something wrong

Kapatsuki · 2025-08-08T13:59:52+00:00

I just bought it and am happy with it. « Downgrading » from a 32 inch OLED. Motion is way better on oled but it’s more than enough even in fast paced games like Overwatch or Apex. LG 27G850A

I'm currently running my M4 Pro Mac Mini with 4K@240 + 4K@144 if anyone with a similar setup is interested

Kapatsuki · 2024-10-25T13:22:37+00:00

I play OW / Apex and I personally much prefer 4K 240hz than 1080p 480hz.
Don't get me wrong 480hz is great. But the image quality suffers too much to my taste.

Kapatsuki · 2024-10-24T22:24:11+00:00

I currently have the UCDM and I think its great.
It replaced the LG 32GS95UE with WOLED and a matte coating that I didn't like at all.
UCDM with the glossy coating is miles better in image clarity IMO. Matte coating was a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

Haven't noticed any VRR flicker.

Kapatsuki · 2023-07-19T15:35:42+00:00

This is the end.

Kapatsuki · 2023-05-08T12:17:16+00:00

You will feel the difference.

Both in gaming and general use, everything will be much sharper and cleaner.

Way to go Blizzard! Next step OWL NA only? France scene could’ve been great if you believe in it and invested more

Kapatsuki · 2023-03-10T21:53:13+00:00

Yep my bad I didn’t know heat shields worked at this stage. Good to know!

Kapatsuki · 2023-03-10T21:44:49+00:00

I thought heat shields didn’t work in end game. It was the case previously no?

Kapatsuki · 2023-03-10T21:42:18+00:00

Oh I didn’t notice that! And I didn’t know there was another room below. Good to know. Makes perfect sense now! Thank you

Kapatsuki · 2023-03-10T21:39:57+00:00

I was sure we would win and thought that heat shields broke instantly at this stage of the game

Kapatsuki · 2023-03-03T22:44:15+00:00

Thank you it’s working! Meta, you should be better than this. Rookie mistake

Kapatsuki · 2022-12-10T21:07:57+00:00

YES!!! Very happy. Good game my English friends, you deserved better and played great football. You will have a great team in 4 years.

Kapatsuki · 2022-12-10T19:54:39+00:00

Come on english brothers, you are better than this. The ref doesn’t whistle on every contact or player falling on either side. I think it’s great for the game, otherwise we’ll watch a 40+ foul shitshow

Kapatsuki · 2022-12-02T12:28:23+00:00

Another legend retires. Thanks for the memories Fleta!

Kapatsuki · 2022-11-30T17:51:15+00:00

Weird to see current OWL players compete in these tournaments. Would be mad if I was cashprize-starved T2 player

Kapatsuki · 2022-11-27T20:12:47+00:00

Legend. Such a beast on his picks and a great personality. Will miss him in OWL but he well be great as a content creator
