One I've been thinking about for a little while, good specs and size. It is Freesync enabled which sometimes gets hidden in the blurb with them. Resolution as you may expect is 4K (3840 x 2160) It's a 60 Hz monitor, but when you get it, check the settings as it may default to 30Hz, I'm sure most of you would easilly notice anyway, especially in games

What is it you are using to power your 4K 120Hz gaming? Presumably your graphics card from 2019.

Good for a cheap monitor... but 60hz makes me sad.
4k is a bit unreadable without ui scaling in desktop at only 27" with ui scaling things like steam get blurry fonts,
not all things scale (some apps/programs not compatible)
1440p tends to be a touch unclean on 4ks for desktop but generally looks ok in games.
Its another one of those confused monitors which will game better than it displays desktop but isn't a gaming monitor as its got a low 60hz which is barely worth the freesync.
tl:dr Budget monitor for a budget gaming machine, nothing wrong with that but have limited expectations.
Not voting as while I wouldn't buy it I can see why others might.

I use a 1440p gaming monitor and this side by side with 150% scaling on this so that the icons, fonts etc are all the same size. Looks good enough to me, especially as its being used as a second monitor. Can use with ps4 pro as well which is a bonus. I think its a great monitor for the price and low lag.

I used a 28" UHD monitor as a 2560x1440 one for triple monitor surround reasons, it definitely looked a bit blurrier than ones with that native resolution but it was only noticeable on really fine text, like size 8 and below. Shouldn't be noticeable in games since they never use text that small.

Just be warned that the stands on LG monitors tend to be very flimsy even by normal standards.

To be honest it's not really for a budget gaming machine, since they won't be looking to do 4K.
I actually have this monitor desktop monitor next to my ultrawide and what it is good for is if you have a PS4 Pro or plan on getting a Scorpio since they don't need higher than 60hz but obviously have 4K support. Fort that I recommend it.

I have this monitor and I highly recommend it.
I use it for my PS4 Pro and it's brilliant.
60hz works perfectly for the Pro.
