LG 27GK750F-B - 240Hz, 27" 1ms Blur reduction, Freesync

Would you say the monitor is worth purchasing if you plan to stick to the 120 or 144 Hz strobed modes? I mainly play TF2 which is very hard to run at 240 Hz.

I'd say if you buy and pay for 240hz, there is no point not to use its 240hz mode.
TF2 hard to run at 240hz, you're serious? My old 2500K@5000 easily made over 200fps avg in TF2.
120 or 144 strobed modes in this LG works worse, then its main 240hz mode. There are pics in the topic, crosstalk at 120/144 is much more obvious then at 240hz.
They're usable, but I still think that 240hz monitor should be used at 240hz.

In 12v12 games my 2500K@4800 drops as low as 90fps even with configs. I'm interested in the monitor anyway for its overall solidness with the overdrive tuning and good image quality. Plus I had an LG monitor in the past and thought it was solid.

Indeed the 240Hz mode exhibits much less crosstalk, so I guess I will have to replace my CPU with a coffee lake to get TF2 running closer to 200+ fps and get the most out of the monitor. Either way my mind is made up, I will get the monitor. I cannot stand the motion blur of non-strobed 144Hz anymore.

Are you running without a GPU? Because that's insanely low

R7-260X. Weak, but far from bottlenecking TF2, which guzzles CPU.

Think we may getting a bit OT now though :^). I listed my XG2401 for sale in local classifieds. As soon as it Seels I'm going to get the 27GK750F. I will post some results here if I get the monitor before many other people start to.

Well, I played mostly competitive TF2 (6v6) and it was probably easier to CPU to handle high fps.

Upgrading 2500K@5000 to 7700K@5000 made my Overwatch fps rise from 200 avg to 300 avg (even at stock 7700k 4500mhz boost clock), so I beleive TF2 also should get the same massive fps boost.

TF2 can easily run 300fps on older GPUs (heck, Intel GPU can still run triple-digit TF2 frame rates) -- as long as the CPU is really, really good.

The CPU (not GPU) will indeed be your biggest bottleneck with TF2!

I have ordered my 27GK750F (679 AUD) and am hoping to receive it in 2 days, although could take a while longer than that, store said they weren't 100% on the availability since such a new release. I will do some tests of testufo.com right away and do CRU tweaks for the strobing mode at 240Hz.

Indeed; even an 8350K at 5.4GHz is brought to its knees by TF2 (in 12v12 casual pub games -- 6v6 comp or MGE is easy to run at 240fps). It is old and unoptimised and only uses 2--3 cores.

I have received my 27GK750F. The overdrive impulse is indeed well tuned, with little conventional trailing and overshoot on all settings. Unlike my last monitor, the XG2401, the response time settings hardly differ from each other; with the XG2401, 'normal' setting was noticeably slow with lots of conventional trailing, 'advanced' setting was pretty good with fast responses at the cost of light overshoot, and 'ultra fast' was grotesque with foul levels of overshoot. I have decided to leave the response time setting on 'fastest'.

Another thing I have noticed with this new LG monitor is that the matte coating on the panel (M270HTN01?) is far less egregious than that found on the M240HW01 V80 used in the XG2401. This pleases me greatly as I found overbearing matte coatings to be foul and extremely detrimental to overall image quality.

I can post some results from my colorimeter (ColorMunki Smile) and an ICC profile if anyone is interested.

Btw, monitor has factory-calibrated ICC profile which can be found on LG's site here (included with .inf "monitor driver")

I also stick with maximum "faster" overdrive, overshoot is barely visible, LG did a great job with it. "Normal" and "off" has visible trailing on 144/120hz, on 240hz very little visible difference between overdrive modes.
Did you found Dynamic action sync advertised feature?

Post any results you're getting, there's still very little info on this model over the web.
