27" LG 27MP59G gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The LG 27MP59G is a relatively new monitor. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The LG 27MP59G has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The brightness of LG 27MP59G is lower than other monitors. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 56 Hz. In terms of pixel density, the LG 27MP59G has an low density of 81 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality. LG 27MP59G has a total input lag of 24.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. For the average response rate, the LG 27MP59G scores 14 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The LG 27MP59G has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. The monitor does not have a VESA mount. The minimum response rate of LG 27MP59G is 5 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. For graphics color quality, the LG 27MP59G has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1.
