Today, Overclockers in the UK have reduced the monitor to £298, beating by a hair the best price we’ve ever recorded for this model. Here’s why this monitor is worth the pennies and pounds!
Get the LG 27GL850 for £299 (was £439)
So first: those specs. 1440p and 144Hz strikes a nice balance between games of all kinds; with a mid-range PC you can target the higher-than-1080p resolution in slower paced games and really marvel at the colours and clarity of this 27-in display, while for more competitive fare you can drop settings or even resolution while taking advantage of the buttery-smooth feeling of 144Hz. If you have a high-end PC, you can have both - sharp visuals and a fluid experience. Add in FreeSync and G-Sync support, an ergonomic stand that allows perfect positioning and a handy USB hub, and you have a strong all-around monitor with few direct competitors - especially at this reduced price point. You don’t have to take my word for it either. The 27GL850 has found its way onto many a ‘best of’ list over the past year or two, and has only really been supplanted by other monitors that use the exact same LG Fast IPS panel, such as the Dell S2721DGFA or the LG 27GL83A. Take a look at some reviews online, and you’ll see the outside impact that this monitor has had - and the many happy customers it’s made! I hope this deal was helpful! Be sure to let me know what you think in the comments below, as it’ll shape our future coverage. I know not everyone is a fan of the deals posts, but it does help RPS keep ticking over and there are the odd people that have gotten in touch to say that they’re happy with something that they’ve picked up. I really do appreciate the feedback either way, so don’t be a stranger. Thanks again and we’ll see you on the next one!
