27" LG 27MP89HM gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The monitor has a VESA mount. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the LG 27MP89HM has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 40 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. The LG 27MP89HM is a relatively new monitor. LG 27MP89HM has a total input lag of 29 ms, which is bad among the competition. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. In terms of pixel density, the LG 27MP89HM has an low density of 81 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality. For the average response rate, the LG 27MP89HM scores 14 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The brightness of LG 27MP89HM is lower than other monitors. The minimum response rate of LG 27MP89HM is 5 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. The LG 27MP89HM has no Display Port and which is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The LG 27MP89HM has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. For graphics color quality, the LG 27MP89HM has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors.
