27″ LG 27GS50F – Full Specifications
Not everyone needs QHD or 4K, and the LG 27GS50F is a good reminder of that.
Overview
Not everyone needs QHD or 4K, and the LG 27GS50F is a good reminder of that. This 27-inch flat VA monitor sticks to 1920 × 1080, which keeps graphics-card demands low while still allowing a 48–180 Hz range with FreeSync. That makes it a budget-friendly way to get high-refresh gaming on a modest PC. The trade-offs are visible: 81 ppi is fairly soft at this size, brightness is 250 nits, and the stand only tilts.
