I would enable Freesync/Gsync and keep it at 144HZ, but dial back the response time. The highest response time (overdrive) setting usually ends up looking crap on the majority of monitors due to causing a reverse ghosting effect. That first picture of the game looks terrible, but could the...

I also recommend the LG 27GL850 as mine has been great so far! It pretty much has the gaming performance of a TN panel, but with much nicer image quality, colours and viewing angles.

I still use CRT TVs for my old consoles (Sega Mega Drive, Saturn and PS1 etc.), but could never go back to using them for modern PC (or console) gaming. I liked them back in the day when games were designed to use a 4:3 ratio and they were much better than the early 4:3 LCD screens which were...

OK, so I've recently discovered one minor niggle with the LG 27GL850-B... It's nothing major and the monitor is still great and I won't be replacing it any time soon, BUT... what's up with the edges of the screen when you look closely at an angle? It almost looks like a gap beneath the panel...

Go for it! The LG 27GL850 is a brilliant IPS monitor for gaming. Freesync (or Gsync) will help quite a bit even if your GPU doesn't push 144fps in games. As others have said, you won't want to go back to anything less after getting used to a 144HZ+ refresh rate. There's also no point choosing a...

I always find a fast modern IPS panel to be the best choice with decent response times that can now compete with TN panels, excellent colours and a wide viewing angle (not that you'll be gaming sideways at your desk). The only downside really is IPS glow that can be a bit distracting if gaming...

My LG screen is only HDR400 capable as far as I know (basically next to useless on the HDR scale)... But I did notice the HDR setting in Far Cry 5 and New Dawn looked pretty good when enabled! Much better than I was expecting as Windows itself doesn't look that great with HDR enabled (I usually...

Have you tried gaming with it at those settings? My eyes would melt if I had the brightness at 100 in my LG screen! I've not come across any monitor yet that looks good with the overdrive on max setting with fast paced games.

So I'm guessing there are different versions/revisions of this monitor? My LG looked great out the box and I've not actually got round to tweaking anything yet. The default brightness was on 50 which is fine for a well lit room, but I turned it down later in the evening when I switched the...

The first two monitors were ordered new from a certain "rainforest". Benq didn't say anything about having to open boxes in the reply I got when I emailed them. They just recommended I order from themselves instead, which I shouldn't really have to. I also don't find the need for any retailer...

It does look a bit odd :D. I thought I'd carry on for the benefit of anyone who might be reading or has a similar issue. I also thought that too. Someone could be checking over a return and in their eyes it might be OK, or they simply missed the fault or defect and then repackaged it...

I have one of these arriving today and I really hope it'll be ok after the disaster I've had trying to obtain a decent BenQ Mobiuz monitor (had to return three of them in a row!). I gave up with BenQ and ended up just ordering the LG as I've had them in the past and they've been pretty decent...

Anyway, that's the BenQ monitor returned. BenQ actually tried to get me to buy it directly from themselves instead of other suppliers when I explained the situation I've had with this model. I might have gone through with it too if it weren't for the 2 week delivery time and declaration...

Ok, all I can say is hold off on buying a BenQ Mobiuz EX2710 monitor. There's clearly an issue with these as this is my third one and it's going back. The same story as the previous monitors from a different retailer as this one also arrived re-sealed. The stand packaging had clearly been opened...

My BenQ Mobiuz monitor arrived today from Ocuk and it looks like it's been opened and then sealed again with another layer of tape (still with the BenQ logo on the the tape). I've not opened it myself yet. I originally bought this monitor from another major retailer and had to return it twice...

Tried an external monitor using the HDMI output and left it without the battery for over an hour. I'm going to strip it and see if I can see any physical damage or burned components. The vents were pretty blocked, so I wouldn't be surprised if the GPU has gone as it used to get pretty toasty...

My brothers gamng laptop was working fine the other day and now it's refusing to boot. The power light comes on alonrg with the back lit keys, but the monitor stays blank and even the led logo on the back of the lid doesn't turn on either. The HDD led als doesn't blink at all. The fans will...

I think a 3060 Ti also seems like a good deal at it's "normal" price. I'm going to keep my eyes open. I wonder if AMD could improve their ray tracing performance via driver updates? Or is it a hardware thing? Their RT performance on the PC seems disappointing and it's one of the main features...

The system mentioned previously by mickyflinn will be perfectly fine for those games as they're not too taxing on current hardware. Maybe stretch to a 1TB M.2 drive if you can in case he wants to add some more games later on? A GPU with a bit more VRAM would be good for newer games too if you...
