FAQs

What is the difference between the 27GN950-B and the 27GP850-B?

The 27GN950-B is an earlier 4K model, while the 27GP850-B is a newer 27-inch QHD model with potentially faster refresh rates and Nano IPS technology optimized for gaming. The 27GN950-B supports 4K at 144Hz, whereas the 27GP850-B offers QHD at 165Hz (OC 180Hz).

Is this monitor suitable for professional color-accurate work?

Yes, the Nano IPS panel covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, making it suitable for many creative tasks. For highly critical color-sensitive work, hardware calibration is recommended.

What is the warranty for this Certified Refurbished product?

This product is a Certified Refurbished item and is backed by a 90-day warranty from the seller.

Can I use this monitor with a laptop?

Yes, provided your laptop has a compatible video output port (DisplayPort or HDMI) and supports the monitor's resolution and refresh rate.

Does the monitor have built-in speakers?

No, this monitor does not come with built-in speakers. You will need external speakers or headphones.

How do I enable the 180Hz overclocked refresh rate?

The 180Hz refresh rate is an overclocked mode and can typically be enabled through the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) settings menu, often labeled as 'Overclock' or similar. Ensure you are using a DisplayPort connection and have the latest graphics drivers installed. Note that overclocking may carry a slight risk or impact warranty if not supported by the manufacturer.

What does 'G-Sync Compatible' mean?

It means the monitor has been tested and verified by NVIDIA to work with G-SYNC technology, delivering a tear-free, low-latency gaming experience on NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards, even though it may not have the full G-SYNC hardware module.

Troubleshooting

Monitor does not turn on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet if necessary.

No signal detected on screen

Verify that the video cable (DisplayPort or HDMI) is firmly connected to both the monitor and the graphics card. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor's OSD menu. Update your graphics card drivers.

Screen flickering or tearing

Enable G-SYNC or FreeSync in the monitor's settings and in your graphics card control panel. Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Check if the refresh rate is set correctly in your system's display settings.

Colors appear washed out or inaccurate

Adjust color settings via the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. Ensure HDR is enabled correctly if applicable, and check color profiles in your operating system. For critical color work, consider hardware calibration.

Monitor resolution or refresh rate is limited

Confirm that your graphics card and the connected video cable support the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., DisplayPort 1.4 for 1440p @ 165Hz). Update graphics drivers and check display settings in your operating system.
