Gaming Monitor Settings 

If your monitor still doesn't look good, maybe it's time for an upgrade? Here's my top picks: Next-Gen Console HDR Gaming BEAST (my personal monitor): amzn.to/3ob01FX 4K/120hz HDMI 2.1 monitor: amzn.to/3KFaYYi Great budget 1440p gaming monitor: amzn.to/3zUrmyR

Great vid! I just got this monitor after useing a curved monitor and your settings overview helped a lot. Trying to adjust back to a flat screen is a little disorientating. 😀

Thank you so much. I just got my first gaming monitor after years of using a tv and though I couldn't change my setting at all.

Great video! Does your settings give max FPS for ps5? I play Warzone which is now 120fps and I have the same monitor as you. Will I need to tweek and anymore or will this work? Thanks 😊

Just got this monitor today because of your videos!! 🔥

best informational vid ive watch in a min. great vid

Finally straight to the point, thank you

Running this monitor with a DP 1.4 cable from a RTX4070Ti and using Nvidia's DLDSR settings I can run 4K resolutions at the screens native 1440p resolution while maintaining the maximum 165hz refresh rate. Looks great!

Not the same monitor as mine, meaning different settings, but the information was beyond helpful!! I finally understand some of these settings, and will watch again. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Update: This monitor will run at 2160 resolution at 120hz on my PS5. The 4K may not be native, but it looks amazing and plays exactly how it did at 1080p. Tried it on RL and WZ2 and the games had a very noticeable increase in graphics. If anyone has experience this, please share!

Thank You! I have a different model from LG but these tips and settings helped tremendously.

hi! great video. since the links in the desc arent working, i just wanna ask. so, Im on a tighter budget, so would the LG 24GN650-B be a good option? they look the same but this one is bigger

Thank you for this!

Anyone know why under ‘ picture adjust ‘ I can’t edit any of the settings, it literally only lets me alter the brightness and nothing else. ( connected from a hdmi to a ps5 )

Great settings, Thank you !

Thx so much for this video although I needed It for my PC as work on PC some games and It helped pretty much on my Monitor[LG27GN650-B] . The color calibration and color settings did a great job in making my black color on screen much better. Wish you best of luck :).

Thank you for this Justin, just a question im mainly playing warzone and currently 120fps is not available on ps5, whats your thought on playing warzone on hdr mode?

Got all the info I needed thank you man.... Now I just need it to get here so I can hook it up to my PS5

So I got the LG24GL600f it says it can do 144hz. I bought it for my ps5 but it says 60hz in the settings. Can someone help me

I have the lg 32gk660f its 1440p at 60 Fps and 1080p 120 hz but the only way to get the 120 is to use a hdmi emulator because the monitor isn't supported but it literally works if you use the emulator

Thanks for this now I can see Roze skins clearly 👍🏼💜

Thank you for the video, I have a LG and was using a smaller BENQ which looked great and was trying to get my LG to that place

So you keep the HDR off on your ps5 and do this manually? Like if I keep my ps5 HDR automatic for some reason won't let me do the set up thanks

Hi Justin, this video has helped alot as I usually play FPS games!! I do however play story mode games on the odd occasion and would love if you could drop a video on what settings would be best to have on my ps5 and this monitor to get a better visual experience for games such as the last of us part 2.

i just ordered the new LG 24GN650 B .. said the response is 1ms vs this one being at 5ms.. its a bit smaller but should be fine *switched gears and went with the 27GN650 B which is the bigger brother Amazon says they both were released January 28, 2021... Waitin for this delivery tho 🙄

Hi I loved your videos and I am making same exactl your setting I just have one qeastion why did you turned off 1ms motion blur ?? I tried to make it one but he colour become looks so bad with bad brightness ?? Do yu recommend using 1ms motion blur ???

Good job, nicely done ✔️man, so between 32” and 27” which do you recommend for ps5!?

Hey Justin, greetings from Finland! Thank you for a great video, i have been hunting a good VA-panel monitor for a while. Have you tried how the monitor handles movies and tv-series from a PC? Does it accept 24p video signal and play it judder free? I guess It could be possible if the monitor keeps 120hz settings while playing 24p video? If it plays videos smoothly then its a real treat. Have a nice day and keep up the good work!

i’m really hoping this helps with my monitor (LG Ultragear 24GN50W-B) some of my games either look washed out or way too dark. i’m terrible at color calibration, and it’s my least favorite thing about buying new displays. i bought my monitor fairly cheap, and otherwise i love it.

you da GOAT bro! thank you my monitor is setup the way I want it!

This really helped thank you

Hey Justin I have 3 of these monitors connected to different game systems. I tweak em quite a bit to try and get the best performance for FPS. Did some digging and figure I would share something I found. These monitors will report to the the game system that it can do a variety of settings; including 4k at 60hz. I found that nice; but a little odd like the monitor isn't talking properly to the game system. With my Ps4 pro I found that when setting to 1080p I could not turn on Super Sampling. Said it wasn't available which was odd. Finally found that I had to turn off Free Sync and under the General settings I had to turn on HDMI Compatibility mode. Once I did that the monitor only reports proper settings to the game systems and I can enable Super Sampling. So PS5 doesn't have a toggle for Super Sampling it will just automatically do it if the monitor and game system is agreeing on 1080p. I use to get ghosting with the "Faster" response setting and input lag. Once I turned on HDMI compatibility mode that has cleared up. I think once the monitor is talking properly to the game system the PS5 will turn on Super Sampling.

Thank you! I’d been scouring the internet for help and this video was my saving grace 🙏🏽🤍

may I ask, how do make my monitor get the 120hz & freesync on?

Just what I needed thanks

Thanks for this video helped so much I can actually see ppl know I had dark levels low

Got mine this morning. 120hz 1080p on ps5 is beautiful. Great video, great suggestions 👍

Hi, does your monitor changes the colors when you launch a game?

Just got this Monitor great review so 👍

Thank you🎉🎉🎉 this helped me fill my desire to play games🎉❤🎉

I have the exact same monitor I use for my PS5 but it’s set at 60HZ and I can’t figure out how to change it to 120HZ. I have Call of duty Vanguard and Cold War(as shown in your video) but it’s not updating to 120HZ. I changed the setting on my PS5 and it’s set to 120HZ but when I go to setting on the monitor it shows 60HZ Can someone please help?

Top video man! Thank you :) one thing I’ve struggled with you is I wanted to run my Xbox series x at above 1080 and 120hz.. but it only lets me have it above that if I’m on 60hz. I bought a 2.1 hdmi cable to see if it fixes that issue but it doesn’t. Can anyone help me please?☺️

i have the same monitor i think, does it support HDMI 2.1 because in the back it says HDMI 1 and 2, for the ps5 you need 2.1 so both 1440p and 120hz work so i want to know if it is actually working, any idea?

Thank you for this video!

Turn off FreeSync to have the option to enable 1ms. (Highly recommend for FPS)

ive used a curved monitor for so long switching to a flat one actually makes it look like its curved backwards this is gonna take some getting used to

At last a vid that shows you more info

Hi Justin. Loved the explanation! So I have an LG 27GL580 and the HDR feature is broken on the PS5. Screen dims and colors are all washed out. Do you know something about this?

Thanks dude! My monitor just got here and I been playing around with settings it's seem to be quite dark / dim like even the home screen on the ps5 is quite dark. Any ideas. Cheers in advance 🤙

I have the same monitor but am having trouble changing the 60hz to 120

I got this exact monitor and I am getting a tone of overshoot even when I have the response time on normal is there a reason why this would be?

Got mine for $60 on clearance at Walmart. So far so good, thanks for the video

If the freesync option says “extended” is it on or it means it’s not compatible? I see in your monitor it says “on”

Any additional settings for the 32GN600-B (The QHD 1440p variant) ??

Which one should I use fast, super fast or extreme

I have a 27UL500-W LG 4K monitor will these settings be the best for that monitor?

Thanks for the review, but one thing I noticed on first day of this monitor that it heats up from the bottom, but when I lowered the frequency to 75 Hz its temperature got normal, so is there anything else that can solve this heat up problem, you haven't talked about it in the video..thanks again

does the gl850 have speakers in it? can't get the speakers to work. headphone port in back works with lg high def driver. drivers all up to date. gl850 as my main, 4k tv as secondary. tv is hdmi and gl850 is DisplayPort. signal shows on test meters for lg high def driver but no audible audio from monitor speakers. tv sound works with nividia high def driver, no sound at all anywhere when switched to lg ultragear high def driver. am i missing something or is this a faulty monitor and needs to be returned?

I have a 32gn600-b, what settings would you recommend I use?

I have the benq mobiuz ex2510s and deal with some blur at distances on the ps5 and especially on the switch. Does the switch look good on this monitor as well?

If I want to have the lowest input delay possible, what should I do? You know, to have better reaction time

Yeah a lot of these settings are self-explanatory, but what I found helpful was that I was using certain settings on wayyyy too high values. sharpness for example. past 50 sharpness it doesn't really change much.

Great video Btw!

Hi Justin i was wondering what HDMI 2.1 Cable do you recomend for a PS5? I bought the LG32GN50T-B amd how do i get 120FPS? 🤔

How do you adjust the hz for this monitor? I just bought it from Costco and it’s stuck on 60. I’m on ps5 too btw.

Any way to turn hdr off? My games are way too dark and can’t touch brightness settings

Great video !

How do you save your setting? I have to redo all of mine every time I turn it on.

How did you get it 120? I've got the same model and it's stuck on 60hz for some reason...?

Note: Cranking up response time increases ghosting

Hi mate I just recently bought the LG 27GL63T gaming monitor and the graphic I believe isn't the best. I play on PS4 pro would you know the reason behind this Cheers Rylie

Thank you so much 🤝🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much I was so lost lol

Awesome video! With this monitor I have to set the RGB range to Full within the PS5 menu correct?

hello there is there an (OSD)On-screen display for this monitor for easy switch to game mode or movie mode on a windows software like MSI do for more fast access ? also i'm gonna buy (maybe) the 32GN63T-B witch is almost the same has this one but 2K do you recommend it ???

i got the one in the video and i dont have a consle and what is the box thing you plug the moniter into

Very informative, I just got my LG 4k monitor and this definitely walk me through all the settings

So I have this same monitor and use it with an Xbox series x. I have my Xbox set to 1080p but the monitor is set to 4K resolution (which obviously it is not capable of) I can’t figure out how to revert it back to 1080p. Any ideas?

I have the LG 32GN63T it’s at 60hz. How do I change it to 120hz?

I have a PS5 but also have a ultragear 32GN600 but can’t figure out how to enable the 1ms feature cause it’s greyed out. Do you know how to enable it? Is it a monitor setting or Console setting?

Anyway you can do one for the msi optix g272? Much appreciated

today I brought mag c27y idont know why I have motion blur on my monitor settings I cant find it and turn it off and im game its off help pls and I have there a freesync thats Grey and can't touch this setting

Got this monitor myself and I'm quite happy with it, but I'm not 100% sure if the HDR is right. Whenever I try and use it in games that support it, it looks too bright. And I don't bright as in I can't see a thing, I mean bright as in someone turned the game's brightness up too much. Sure, games have plenty of calibration settings, but I've no idea what ones would be best for the monitor or if I'm even supposed to change them at all. Am I doing something wrong or is there something in particular I'm not doing?

hi, can you help me what will be the settings for warzone caldera for MSI OPTIX G27CQ4 as find very reddish/orange environment and cant find the right mixtures of the settings. im using RTX 3060 btw, thanks!

hi, congratulations for the video i have a lg gn850, these settings are fine for my model too? Should adaptive sync on my monitor be on or off? thanks

this video helped me a bit because i wanted my new monitor to match my old monitor colors, and turns out gamma was the answer, but other big problem i had was that when i move or spin in game (minecraft) it leaves some stupid blue shadow that u can barelly see but it still looked bad, and turns out this 1 stupid setting called respose time was the problem, for some reason when i set it to fastest it does this shit, and on fast and normal it doesnt.

What’s the best game mode for response time for PS5?

do monitors like philips have settings like this? for example philips 278E?

I appreciate this video

Should i turn the refresh rate at on / off ? I’m using msi mag274qrf-qd with my ps5

Hey man, I’m thinking of getting this monitor but I also want to use it to watch Netflix etc on my Xbox but obviously the monitor has no speakers. If I buy separate speakers are they gonna be compatible with this and my Xbox?

I have a lg27gp950 got any recommendation on setting for gama response time color everything having a hard time finding the best settings and not many videos on that monitor😊

Do I need a 2.1 hdmi cable for my hz setting to change for it to say 120 like yours does?

Any chance you know how to fix the problem where it shuts off the monitor by itself but leaves my PC on and it turns my keyboard and mic off too kinda resets everything

Thank you so much for the this got a sub from me

Where can I MANUALLY adjust the gamma? Is it black stabilizer? If so where is 2.4? ☹️

How do I just turn off this monitor when not using it? Great tutorial, Justin.

Can you make a list of monitors that run 1ms without overshooting on p5?

For me in the picture adjust everything is blanked out besides brightness and picture reset.how do I fix that?

How do I get my Logitech z313 to work with it ? When my Xbox one is plugged in from the hdmi I can’t hear sound it’s like the hdmi won’t transfer it ?
