Product Information

With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. A good gamma and white point setup along with a wide DCI-P3 colour gamut and good contrast ratio (for an IPS panel). Default setup of the screen out of the box pretty decent overall despite the fairly relaxed factory calibration criteria.

If, on the other hand, you need a monitor for color-critical work, the LG 27GN950 is a better option due to its superior color consistency whereas the G7 will do fine for basic content creation where color accuracy is not as important.cd/m 2 at this default brightness setting, giving us a decent 979:1 contrast ratio for an IPS panel and close to the spec. Those were criticised a bit for their lower-than-typical contrast ratio, so it was good to see that the 27GN950 didn’t suffer the same fate. This can save the calibration to the screen itself which means the settings are saved for all your applications and uses, and should in theory also give you a more accurate result, with better control of the hardware itself.

An X-rite i1 Display Pro Plus colorimeter was also used to verify the black point and contrast ratio since the i1 Pro 2 spectrophotometer is less reliable at the darker end. It offers buttery-smooth performance thanks to its G-SYNC compatibility, 144Hz refresh rate, low input lag, and rapid pixel response time speed while its Nano IPS panel ensures accurate and vibrant color quality. This seemed to work very well and provides an excellent way to boost the capability of existing DisplayPort 1. The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. An important thing to consider for most users is how a screen will perform out of the box and with some basic manual adjustments.
