Pros

Lg 27ms550 27 monitor is a large and affordably priced entry level monitor with a good picture, fast refresh rate and height adjustable stand. Picture quality is good with good colours and decent brightness. Tilt adjustment makes it easy to find the p...  Read More

Operation of the monitor is via a single joystick on the bottom centre. I mostly notice how much smoother the vertical scrolling is.

Great monitor for everyday work use. It has a few issues, but overall it works pretty well. It’s still well worth it for under 100 bucks!

For a basic gaming and multimedia monitor, this does the trick. It's a versatile monitor that's improved my productivity and enjoyment of multimedia content. Good for gaming, great for office work.



Cons

This is the monitor i imagine an abusive boss would purchase to needlessly bully his employees. The base is also flimsy. I am looking now to buy a monitor desk mount to be able to adjust/tilt the monitor (to be perpendicular rather than tilted fwd!

It has a hazy screen even at full brightness. Anything that revolves around video or pictures is blurry and the colour is bland. The image quality is significantly blurry, particularly when it comes to displaying text.

Quality


They save me desk space and still deliver surprisingly good sound quality for everyday use.


This is a good quality 1080p 27" monitor.


You press to bring up the menu and then gently toggle the button left to right, up and down to go through the options.


-the bottom of the monitor sits at about 91mm from the desk with the non-adjustable stand.

Price


It’s still well worth it for under 100 bucks!


This is a great monitor for the price and it did everything right.


At the time of writing this review, this lg fhd (27ms550) monitor costs $174.


While this is not 144hz, you are also not paying premium prices.

Packaging/appearance


Once you open the box it’s very easy to get it assembled.


Came with a very dim setting but figured out you can increase brightness via settings in the monitor

Competitiveness


You can get a lot worse for more, though i will say that if you’re willing to go with a brand that isn’t as known in the wester...  Read More


However, where a fhd is when this is set to native resolution and 100% scaling in windows, it can look better than a qhd monito...  Read More

    The only complaint i have is that the resolution is not the greatest it feels a bit cheap andor outdated


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The major thing that i don’t like about it is the barrel jack that they used instead of a c13c14 plug


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Should the barrel jackadapter fail in some way you’ll probably have to replace the entire thing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The next thing i’ll talk about is the edges of the monitor which i describe as looking “off”


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    What this means is that when you look at the monitor at an angle some parts of the screen won’t be lit and will make it look dark


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The only real thing you can do about this is make sure that you don’t have this monitor at an angle
