Product Information

Full details

The LG UltraGear G5 25-inch gaming monitor is designed for competitive gamers and users with smaller desk setups who need a responsive and visually immersive experience. Its key benefit is the combination of a high 200Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time for fluid gameplay, with a Full HD IPS display offering sharp visuals and wide viewing angles. A potential caveat is its 25-inch screen size, which might be smaller than some users prefer for a primary gaming display.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the native resolution of this monitor?

The native resolution of this monitor is Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels).

Can I use this monitor with a Mac?

Yes, this monitor is compatible with Mac computers that support its display inputs (HDMI or DisplayPort) and resolutions.

How do I enable G-SYNC or FreeSync?

G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium can be enabled through the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu, and then configured within your NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Radeon Software.

What is the difference between 200Hz and a standard 60Hz monitor?

A 200Hz refresh rate means the screen updates 200 times per second, compared to 60 times per second for a 60Hz monitor. This results in significantly smoother motion and reduced blur in fast-paced content.

Does this monitor have built-in speakers?

This product information does not specify built-in speakers. Please refer to the product manual or packaging for confirmation.

What type of panel technology does it use?

This monitor uses an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel, which is known for its excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles.

What is HDR10?

HDR10 is a standard for High Dynamic Range video that provides increased contrast and a wider color palette, making images appear more realistic and vibrant.

Troubleshooting

Monitor does not power on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.

No image or "No Signal" message

Verify that the video cable is firmly connected to both the monitor and the source device. Ensure the correct input source is selected in the monitor's OSD menu. Try a different video cable or port if available.

Screen flickering or tearing

Ensure G-SYNC or FreeSync is enabled in the monitor's OSD and in your graphics card's control panel. Check if the display cable is a high-quality version (e.g., DisplayPort 1.2 or higher). Update your graphics card drivers.

Colors appear washed out or inaccurate

Adjust the color settings in the monitor's OSD menu. Ensure HDR is enabled correctly in your operating system and/or game settings if applicable. Calibrate the monitor using a colorimeter if precise accuracy is required.

Image is blurry or ghosting

Adjust the response time setting in the OSD (try 'Faster' or 'Fastest' settings cautiously, as extreme settings can sometimes introduce inverse ghosting). Ensure the refresh rate is set correctly in your operating system and game settings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional smoothness with a 200Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time.
Vivid and accurate colors with sRGB 99% and HDR10 support.
Wide viewing angles thanks to the IPS panel.
Effective screen tear prevention with G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium compatibility.
Built-in gaming tools enhance visibility and performance tracking.

Cons

25-inch screen size may be small for some users.
Full HD resolution on a 25-inch screen might not be as sharp as higher resolutions for some detailed content.
Limited adjustability in the stand (based on typical monitor designs).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack all components and ensure you have the monitor, stand, power cable, and any included video cables (e.g., DisplayPort or HDMI).
Attach the monitor stand to the base and then to the monitor following the included manual's instructions. Ensure it is securely fastened.
Connect your PC or gaming console to the monitor using the appropriate video cable (DisplayPort is recommended for higher refresh rates). Ensure the cable is fully inserted into both the monitor and your device.
Plug in the power adapter and connect it to the monitor and a wall outlet.
Turn on the monitor using the power button.
Navigate the monitor's on-screen display (OSD) menu to select the correct input source and adjust picture settings as desired.

Compatibility:

This monitor is compatible with PCs, gaming consoles (e.g., PlayStation, Xbox), and other devices that support the video outputs available on the monitor. It supports G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium, meaning it will work seamlessly with NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, respectively, to provide tear-free gaming.

Care:

Cleaning the Screen: Power off and unplug the monitor. Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with distilled water or a screen-safe cleaner. Never spray liquid directly onto the screen.
Ventilation: Ensure the monitor's ventilation openings are not blocked to prevent overheating.
Power: Use only the provided power adapter. Avoid exposing the monitor to extreme temperatures or humidity.
