27" LG 27MN60T-W gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

For graphics color quality, the LG 27MN60T-W has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The monitor has a VESA mount. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The LG 27MN60T-W is a relatively new monitor. The brightness of LG 27MN60T-W is lower than other monitors. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1097 : 1. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 48 Hz. LG 27MN60T-W has a total input lag of 33.3 ms, which is bad among the competition. The minimum response rate of LG 27MN60T-W is 7.9 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. The LG 27MN60T-W has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. For the average response rate, the LG 27MN60T-W scores 18.3 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. In terms of pixel density, the LG 27MN60T-W has an low density of 81 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality.
