27" LG UltraGear 27G523B-B
The LG UltraGear 27G523B-B gaming monitor combines a 27" IPS panel with Full HD resolution, a high refresh rate, and a fast response time for smooth gameplay in both action-packed and competitive titles. The 200Hz refresh rate helps reduce motion blur, while the 1ms GtG response time supports fast and clean rendering of dynamic scenes. NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium technologies reduce screen tearing and stuttering for smoother gameplay, even with a variable frame rate. The monitor supports HDR10, a wide sRGB colour gamut, and practical gaming features like Dynamic Action Sync, Black Stabilizer, Crosshair, and FPS Counter. The three-sided virtually borderless design and space-saving L-shaped stand also help create a clean and modern gaming setup.

Smooth Gaming with a 200Hz Refresh Rate
A refresh rate of up to 200Hz allows the monitor to render motion much more smoothly and with less blur than standard screens with a lower frequency. This means quick changes of direction, racing scenes, or shooter battles remain clearer. The LG UltraGear 27G523B-B will help you see every frame better, even during very fast gaming action. The maximum available frequency also depends on your computer's performance, the interface used, and the game settings.
1ms GtG Response Time for Fast Gaming Reactions
The 1ms GtG response time in Faster mode helps to reduce unwanted ghosting behind moving objects and keep the transitions between individual frames cleaner. The result is a sharper image during fast camera movements and when opponents move. A fast response time supports more responsive and accurate gaming without significant distracting blur.
Smooth Visuals with NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium
NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium technologies synchronise the monitor's refresh rate with the output of a compatible graphics card. This helps reduce screen tearing, stuttering, and other distracting effects when the frame rate fluctuates. Thanks to adaptive synchronisation, game scenes appear smoother and maintain better motion continuity. NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible support on this model is available via DisplayPort.
IPS Panel with HDR10 and a Wide Colour Spectrum
The IPS panel of the LG UltraGear 27G523B-B monitor offers accurate colour reproduction and wide viewing angles of 178° both horizontally and vertically. HDR10 support expands the possibilities for working with brightness and colour, making gaming worlds, effects, and environments appear more vibrant. The LG product presentation states a colour coverage of up to 99% of the sRGB gamut, allowing the monitor to display a wide spectrum of shades and a total of 16.7 million colours.
Gaming Features for Better Overview and Faster Reactions
Dynamic Action Sync helps reduce input lag, so you can react faster to what's happening in the game. Black Stabilizer brightens dark areas and reveals details that might otherwise remain hidden in the shadows. Crosshair adds an aiming point to the centre of the screen, and the FPS Counter displays the current frame rate. Practical gaming tools give you better control over the image and crucial moments in a battle.

Virtually Borderless Design and a Space-Saving Stand
The three-sided virtually borderless design leaves more room for the image itself and contributes to the modern look of your gaming setup. The slim, L-shaped stand takes up less space on your desk and reduces the unused area around the monitor. You can adjust the screen position by tilting it, and you can also mount the monitor on a VESA 100 × 100mm standard bracket. The stand does not support height adjustment, swivel, or pivot function.
Wide Range of Connectivity Options
On the back of the monitor, you'll find two HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort 1.4 for connecting a desktop computer, laptop, or gaming console. There is also a three-pole 3.5mm headphone output that transmits the audio signal. A DisplayPort cable is included in the accessories for easy connection to a compatible device.

Colour Coverage (Gamut)
Determines how accurately a monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, films, or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is appreciated by graphic designers or professionals. The higher the stated value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
A value given in nits or cd/m² determines the monitor's brightness level. Brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values over 250. Refresh Rate and Response Time
Refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the picture and the less eye strain. A lower response time value (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
