Even with its limitations and few odd quirks, the LG 27GL is an excellent and impressive monitor. LG has a definite winner on its hands.

Recently, we named the LG 27GL the best gaming monitor on the market after several weeks of testing. Today, I thought it would be interesting to go into a little more detail about why this new monitor has earned our top recommendation, including a closer look at the monitor's innovative Nano IPS panel, its 1ms GtG response time rating and a few other curios that didn't make it into our summarised write-up. The biggest difference between the LG 27GL and our previous picks for the 'best gaming monitor' spot is the sort of panel they use. Nano IPS builds on the normal strengths of IPS panels, which are known for their wide viewing angles and accurate colour reproduction, by layering nanoparticles on the white LED backlight of the display. This layer filters out wavelengths of light that lie outside the intended gamut, allowing for more accurate colours within it.

LG is one of the biggest names in the display market and has gaming monitors to match every budget. Setup is easy and took me less than five minutes to unbox and assemble. The stand comes in two parts and the feet attach to the arm with a single thumbscrew. The arm attaches to the monitor itself with a simple snap and can be removed with a button which makes disassembly equally simple. The stand itself is excellent. It offers a bit of extra flair compared to simpler monitors with a red finish on the rear of its two feet and a stylish red ring in the center of its back. It also offers a bit of cable management thanks to a removable clip.
