Product Overview
The LG UltraGear 27GS60F-B is designed for gamers who want high-refresh-rate performance without moving to a more demanding QHD or 4K resolution. Its 27-inch IPS panel delivers Full HD resolution at 1920 × 1080, while the 180Hz refresh rate provides smooth motion for compatible PC games.
The monitor combines a 1ms GtG response time in Faster mode with AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility. These features help improve motion clarity and reduce visual tearing when paired with a compatible graphics card and appropriate settings.
HDR10 support, typical 99% sRGB coverage and a three-side virtually borderless design round out a display suited to gaming, streaming, general computing and multi-monitor setups.
27-inch Full HD IPS Display
The 27-inch IPS panel offers wide viewing angles and consistent everyday colour. Full HD resolution is widely supported by gaming PCs and helps reduce the graphics processing load compared with higher-resolution displays, which can be useful when targeting high frame rates.
- 27-inch display with 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080.
- IPS panel technology.
- Typical brightness of 300 cd/m².
- Typical contrast ratio of 1000:1.
- Typical 99% sRGB colour gamut.
- 16.7 million displayable colours.
- 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles.
- Anti-glare screen surface.
180Hz Refresh Rate and 1ms Response Time
The 180Hz refresh rate can display up to 180 refreshes per second, offering smoother motion than standard 60Hz displays. This is especially useful in first-person shooters, racing games, action titles and other games where rapid movement is common.
LG specifies a 1ms Grey-to-Grey response time when the monitor's Response Time setting is configured to Faster mode. This is a specified pixel-transition performance figure, not a guarantee that all transitions or motion artefacts will be eliminated.
- Maximum refresh rate: 180Hz.
- Response time: 1ms GtG in Faster mode.
- Useful for fast-paced PC gaming and high-frame-rate gameplay.
- Actual refresh rate depends on the connection, graphics card, resolution and operating-system settings.
AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatibility
Adaptive-sync technology helps synchronise the display refresh rate with compatible graphics output. This can reduce screen tearing and stuttering during gameplay when supported hardware and settings are used.
- AMD FreeSync: Adaptive-sync support for compatible AMD graphics hardware.
- NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible: Supports compatible NVIDIA graphics configurations.
- Dynamic Action Sync: Helps reduce input lag for more responsive gameplay.
- Black Stabilizer: Adjusts dark scenes to help reveal details in shadowed areas.
HDR10 and Colour Performance
HDR10 compatibility allows the monitor to accept supported HDR content. The display also includes HDR Effect, which can enhance the appearance of certain content. Its typical 99% sRGB coverage supports vibrant colours for gaming, video and everyday creative tasks.
HDR10 compatibility does not mean this monitor is VESA DisplayHDR certified. Its typical 300 cd/m² brightness and IPS contrast characteristics should be considered when evaluating HDR performance.
Gaming Features and On-Screen Controls
LG includes several built-in tools designed to make gaming adjustments more convenient, without requiring separate desktop software for every setting.
- Crosshair: Displays an on-screen aiming reticle for supported gaming scenarios.
- FPS Counter: Shows a frame-rate readout on the display.
- Black Stabilizer: Helps make details in dark areas more visible.
- Dynamic Action Sync: Helps reduce display-side input lag.
- OnScreen Control: Provides software-based access to supported monitor settings.
- Reader Mode and Flicker Safe: Offer display options for everyday viewing and reading.
The Crosshair feature is unavailable while the FPS Counter is activated, according to LG's product documentation.
Gaming-Focused Design
The three-side virtually borderless design gives the screen a clean appearance and works well in multi-monitor configurations. The supplied stand supports tilt adjustment so you can angle the display to suit your seating position.
- Tilt adjustment from -5° to +15°.
- 100 × 100mm VESA mounting compatibility.
- Three-side virtually borderless design.
- Black finish suitable for gaming and workspaces.
The included stand does not provide height, swivel or pivot adjustment. A compatible VESA monitor arm can provide additional positioning flexibility.
Connectivity and Compatibility
Connect your gaming PC or another compatible video source through HDMI or DisplayPort. DisplayPort 1.4 is a suitable connection option for using the monitor's high refresh rate with compatible graphics hardware.
- 1 × HDMI 2.0 input.
- 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 input.
- 1 × 3-pole headphone output for audio.
- External power adapter.
- No USB-C video input or built-in USB hub listed.
For 180Hz operation, confirm the selected input, cable, graphics card and display settings support the intended mode. The headphone output is for audio; speakers or headphones must be connected separately.
