27" LG 27GN650-B gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The monitor has a VESA mount. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the LG 27GN650-B has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 20 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. For graphics color quality, the LG 27GN650-B has an excellent color depth of 10 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The LG 27GN650-B is a relatively new monitor. The LG 27GN650-B has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. For the average response rate, the LG 27GN650-B scores 7.3 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. For the extremely fast frame rates, the LG 27GN650-B has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The brightness of LG 27GN650-B is lower than other monitors. LG 27GN650-B has a total input lag of 17.8 ms, which is bad among the competition. In terms of pixel density, the LG 27GN650-B has an low density of 82 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1002 : 1. The minimum response rate of LG 27GN650-B is 4.1 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects.
