LG 24GM79G Review: The LG is a 144Hz Gaming Monitor revision of the LG 24GM77G with LFC support, Freesync, and some other small changes.

No, I don't know why LG has stated 5 ms response time (maybe without overdrive settings or for marketing reasons because of the 1 ms blur reduction) many people are simply confused.

You can try to install the ICC profile and check how you like the overall image quality (mostly color temperature and gamma since color accuracy within ICC profiles are not "enabled" on the desktop, only with software which is compatible with ICC profiles and can read them like Photoshop etc.)

Regarding the Nvidia Control Panel, I would use the standard settings and only change Gamma if you cant deal with the LGs gamma curvature (details in blacks) but you should note that the overall image quality will suffer then. According to saturation I wouldn't use this option - So leave everything on standard and use only OSD monitor options to calibrate your own preferred color temperature (Warm, neutral, cool)

Oh mate, I missed your comment.

You simply have to choose the "right" gamma settings in the OSD (Gamma Mode 4) and change the gamma within the graphics card settings or simply through windows calibrating. However, the difference between 2.1 and 2.2 is pretty slight + results can also differ a bit in each unit(!)

Just for the understanding: LG is using the same panel as all other manufacturers also are using. ALL TN panels with a stated 1 ms GtG response time will achieve this only when setting overdrive settings to the highest settings. So you will NOT observe any differences when comparing the LG with another TN panel (of course also depending on your individual unit while individual units differ a bit, even in terms of the responsiveness and pixel inversion artifacts etc). LG has stated 5ms probably because of its backlight scanning "1ms blur reduction" feature. Why they did it? We all don't really know :)

No, unfortunately, you cannot remove them. As I also have learned is that the amount of scanlines also differs within each individual unit. My unit was pretty good in terms of scanlines but still with weird moving horizontal scanlines from bottom to top (do you mean these) if so, did you also have tested another DP cable?

Thanks KindOldRaven : I also have added this in the LGs forum thread. A Screen for the forums would be awesome for owners of the LG :)

No Freesync always is from AMD. If this monitor would offer simply "adaptive sync" then it would work usually.

If you had the Samsung, you are used to those quantum dot colors so you have to keep in mind that every other 1080p 144hz monitors will be weaker in terms of the colors and image quality. I would suggest you the Viewsonic XG2401 if you want a TN and you do not need backlight strobing. If you need backlight strobing (like "fast" and "faster" on the Samsung) then pick the LG. Just that the Samsungs strobing works a bit better with fewer strobe crosstalk and inverse ghosting. So I would stick to the Samsung or the Viewsonic XG2401 in your case probably (:

Hey dud, I already have answered this on YouTube :)

Copy Paste:

Hey mate. You should note that the Dell monitors have both color banding (https://www.limscave.com/dell-s2716dg comparison IPS dell vs TN dell photos). Between the LG and AOC, it depends if you want/ needs G-Sync and a better backlight strobing on the AOC. 180Hz will probably cause worse blacks + colors (while 120 and 144Hz should be fine). If you play mainly cs go and competitive games, I would maybe pick the Alienware 240Hz panel (cheap and pretty good) (AW2518HF Freesync or AW2518H G-Sync - The Freesync monitor has at least in Germany a very good price around 300€)

Hey mate, unfortunately I cannot tell you much about the "p" version of the BenQ, just that I know that the XL2411 is not really recommended in terms of image quality (for CS GO or Overwatch etc it is totally fine) but it has a poor contrast and colors compared to the LG or Viewsonic.  I dunno which monitor Zi from Rocketjumpninja is using tbh. 

I would go with the LG if you necessarily want backlight strobing, otherwise the Viewsonic XG01 (since the 02 has more issues from what I have read from other users due to the panel uniformity). 

What about the Dell Alienware AW2518HF, how much does it cost in your region? This monitor is pretty cheap (at least in Germany) and probably also worth the extra 30-50€

Depending on how close you are looking for those issues. If you can RMA, then I would suggest you simply to check out the LG. 

Personally, scan-lines are something you can get used to pretty fast, AS LONG as you do not use a second monitor where you have a 1:1 comparison consistently. The black crush can be avoided a bit with decent gamma settings. The difference is NOT HUGE when you get one with black crush issues, but they are still there. 

Depending on the games you play. For pure singleplayer games, I would personally go with an IPS or VA panel. If the Xbox one X can't handle 120 Hz (?) you can also go with a 60Hz panel of course. For competitive games, TN is a good pick. A cheap alternative is the Samsung CFG70 (or 73) or an 60Hz IPS panel 

HDMI is capped to 120hz, you have to use the DisplayPort cable

I am not sure how good the AOC models are - I just have read some ppl in forums have measured a weaker contrast ratio (600-700:1).

According to the HP: Here I do not have any information or experience I can share, unfortunately.

Personally, I would pick the Viewsonic (if backlight strobing is not really needed. 120Hz vs 14Hz is not a world difference). The LG can have (varies within each unit) some more/some less black crush (lottery). My unit was pretty fine but a second unit was pretty obvious in terms of black crush. I just messed up to test a higher quality DP/HDMI cable. Now I have two very high-quality HDMI cables so I can include this in further future tests :)

I wish I could share my experience with the Omen or AOC with you yet. Unfortunately, I cant. I will probably get my hands on the AOC in near future. Hope it helps :X

I have reviewed the Acer, I just didnt managed it to finish it... Acer is very good, the biggest disadvantage of the Acer is the inner panel frame reflection (half-matte plastic reflection). The LG has almost the same response time as the Acer and other 1 Ms. TN Panels. Its biggest disadvantage is that some units can have a more black crush than other units. No one knows why LG is advertising the LG with 4 Ms (while no TN monitor can reach 1 Ms without aggressive overdrive settings, which are mostly not recommended and result in overshoot and trails). You can turn off backlight strobing :) And thanks btw :) 

That sounds really weird. Did you test it after with another monitor ? I cannot really believe that it is an issue with the monitor tbh :X

No, the monitor is as fast as other TN panels. We do not really know why LG claims it has 5 ms (maybe to promote their backlight strobing...)

However, 1MS can only be reached with highest OC settings which mostly causes artifacts (on any TN panels).

Maybe the Asus VG279Q (IPS 144Hz) but you should also reach 144hz in league with a QHD monitor :O However, I would pick the LG over your mentioned vg248qe 

Uhm, do you have this issue within all games? Are you using DP cable? Disabled the 1 ms response time (strobing)?
