Nice, Friday already. I'm very interested in hearing what you think about it. I have the 27GR95QE.ah i got an update, getting the monitor on 4/12 fedex, i'm excited

Yes they do. They are not codes you enter. They browser plug-ins or cookies via activation links.None of those stack though.
i got text from fedex first then lg store yeahFrom LG web store?
damn i only got 15%Currently, you can get 23% off lg.com, if you stack Retailmenot cashback (10%), Bing/MS cashback (6%), and Honey/Paypal (7%).
Personally, I don't have a problem with matte screens.I'm working sadly so not much gaming, but I'm using the monitor now with a lg 48cx behind it and to me I like this matte coating, I don't see any glares and the clarity, I don't see smearing/smudging looks pretty sharp to my old eyes If i focus and look for it i guess i can see some softness.
DSC, nothing you can do other than drop to 144Hz.one thing I don't like so far is, on the LG 48cx i could alt tab or windows key to my desktop instantly from a game I was playing. With this unit it takes a few seconds...
I've seen some reviews mention the out of box color accuracy is only decent. I wonder if they might release a firmware which is able to universally improve color temp/white point, etc.Not sure if anyone had this, but my display in gamer1 defaulted to a brownish tint. I have since calibrated it and have 97.5% p3 which is slightly lower than the advertised 98.5%, I could probably put a little more effort into calibrating it and get it at the advertised, but the out of the box calibration was not very good atleast on my unit. Anyways this display is far far better than last years 27GR95QE. I'm definitely keeping it.
Tested VRR flicker, honestly I haven't found an actual game scene that flickers, I retested the areas in Hogwarts where I flickered on the 27GR95QE, no flicker. Played DD2 for like 5 hours no flicker even with it's unstable framerates. The only time you see subtle flicker is on dark loading screens, you hardly notice it.
Heads up to those in the USA. You can add 2 extra cheapo items to your cart like cables/etc to get an additional 20% off on top of the 15% promo code that was posted in this thread (HECAxxxxx - use your zip code). Also Topcashback is giving 12%. Total cost pretax comes out to $850ish.
Edit: if your credit card also has a quarterly offer it can be had for around $800 or just under.
Yeah the 20% applies when 2 additional items are added. HDMI cable + $20 wireless mouse.No extra promo codes to enter? Just add 2 extra items and 20% automatically applies? I'm not trying to get one myself, just want to pass this info on to one of my buddies who still can't get a MSI MPG model.
I don't think the heca code is working anymore.Yeah the 20% applies when 2 additional items are added. HDMI cable + $20 wireless mouse.
Like all these promo stacking deals, act fast because it will stop working soon since there is no way it was suppose to work on this monitor.
People have been having issues applying it all morning while it works for others no problem. Try different zip codes.I don't think the heca code is working anymore.
With one in a cart right now, it says :Seems like LG is heavily backordered, they won't even give an ETA for my order on 4/14.
Yeah, it said 4/15 when I ordered, then went to 4/19 a couple days later so that's why I'm not sure when mine will ship. It is what it is, I'm assuming I'm in the May window now. At least the charge dropped off my card finally.With one in a cart right now, it says :
Expedited Delivery
Preorders are expected to start shipping the week of Mon, May 13
I think Asus will for sure push the panel harder. They've done so with every WOLED model vs it's LG variant. It will also come much better calibrated out the box.
The 2 deterrents are Asus firmware issues and the fact that it will probably land at $1499. Asus flagship monitors typically don't go on discount for a long time so the question is whether it's worth almost 2x the price of this LG on sale.
can you share your icc profile?Been using this display for around 2 weeks now, here is what I would say the strengths and weaknesses are.
Weaknesses:
- Out of the box calibration is terrible, it is as bad as the 27GR95QE
- White point: More difficult than usual to get a 6500k white point.
- You can by calibrating for D65 specifically and hit the 6500k whitepoint just fine, but I prefer having accurate sRGB.
- If you use the sRGB setting in DisplayCAL, you will need to adjust the Blue channel to 47 in NVCP to get 6500k. On the display adjust R:48, G:49, B:50
- Cannot manually adjust HDR color temperature, but the white point is closer to 6500k than SDR.
- Text isn't as crisp as the X27, but a massive improvement over the LG 27GR95QE. It is better than I expected. But I would still consider it a weakness since it isn't perfect.
- No built in dithering, watching videos on streaming services have more noticeable artifacts.
- VRR flicker on some darker scenes, mainly loading screens in games and I did see it happen once in a cutscene in DD2, it is not bad enough for me to care though, on the 27GR95QE it was significantly worse and one of the reasons I returned it.
Strengths:
Overall I think the display is a big upgrade from the X27, the only thing it is truly weaker with is text clarity. Hopefully they fix the out of the box calibration with firmware updates, and improve the ability to control the color temp more precisely. If you have a colorimeter I highly recommend the display. If you do not, I would buy something else with more accurate out of the box calibration, because the default calibration is terrible, and I mean very bad. Definitely keeping this display though, I really like it, I actually got rid of my X27 a few days ago and I thought I was going to keep it, but it just looked bad by comparison.
- Motion clarity is incredible at any refresh rate.
- Once calibrated it is more accurate than my ProArt, X27, X34, 27GR95QE
- HDR 400 True Black is superior to HDR10 1300 on the X27 IMO. The HDR also looks a lot better than the 27GR95QE did at launch (not sure if they have improved it since).
- Matte coating, this is one of the better matte coatings. It is better than the X27, ProArt, X34, 27GR95QE, it's almost like a semi-gloss coating. It doesn't diffuse white light as well as other matte coatings, but I still think it is very good.
- No obvious brightness limiting, on this display the spec is the actual spec, you don't see it dim at all, atleast I haven't in the last few weeks.
- Adaptive Sync, the adaptive sync on here is just as good as having a G-Sync module. I wouldn't say the same for the 27GR95QE when I owned it, I thought the VRR was a downgrade on that display.
Doesn't this monitor have hardware calibration ability, so you don't need an ICC file? (excuse my ignorence on the finer points of calibration).Sure, I'm not at home at the moment but will post the ICC profile and my settings in a few hours.
Thanks I appreciate it, the colors do slightly look better. Thanks again.DAS is disabled in non-gamer modes. DAS is the low latency feature on the display.
Icc is attached.

If you need another profile made for something else, I can do it in my free time just let me know.
I had the R G B incorrect in my original post, I wrote that from memory, I corrected it now.
