This 27-inch panel delivers a crisp WQHD resolution, refined color accuracy, and an array of ergonomic and connectivity features that elevate productivity and entertainment alike. Encased in a textured black finish with a sleek, near-borderless design, the 27BN88Q-B blends seamlessly into any workspace while offering a robust feature set that supports multitasking, creative workflows, and immersive viewing experiences. From color-critical design work to late-night gaming sessions, this monitor is engineered to help you see more clearly and work more efficiently.

• Immersive WQHD clarity and color precision: The 27" IPS panel delivers a sharp 2560x1440 resolution with wide viewing angles, ensuring clear text, detailed graphics, and vibrant imagery from almost any seat. The 16:9 aspect ratio is ideal for productivity as well as cinematic visuals, allowing you to display multiple documents side by side or enjoy media without letterboxing. The IPS technology provides consistent color and luminance across the screen, reducing color shift when you move your head or sit off-angle, which is essential for design, photography, and video editing.
• Ergonomic design for long days of work: The monitor’s stand is engineered for everyday comfort with height adjustment, tilt, and swivel capabilities. This lets you tailor the screen position for an optimal line of sight, minimizing neck and eye strain during marathon editing sessions or extended coding sprints. The textured finish on the chassis complements a modern desk setup while helping to reduce glare and fingerprints, keeping your workspace looking clean and professional. For larger multi-monitor configurations, the LG 27BN88Q-B also supports VESA mounting to free desk space and enable flexible layouts.
• Versatile connectivity with USB-C docking: Modern workflows benefit from a single-cable solution, and the USB-C port on this LG monitor delivers video, data, and power delivery to compatible laptops. Combine this with HDMI and DisplayPort inputs for compatibility with a wide range of desktops, laptops, and creative workstations. An integrated USB hub expands peripheral connectivity, allowing you to connect keyboard, mouse, and storage devices directly to the monitor for a tidy, efficient workspace. This flexibility makes the 27BN88Q-B ideal for creative professionals who rely on fast, reliable connections without clutter.
• Creator-ready color and image quality: Built with color accuracy in mind, the 27BN88Q-B offers a broad color gamut with strong sRGB coverage and careful calibration to deliver faithful skin tones, accurate skin detail, and natural-looking landscapes. This makes it a strong choice for designers, photographers, and video editors who depend on consistent color for proofs, reviews, and final output. In addition to color fidelity, the monitor’s consistent brightness and contrast pairing with an anti-glare panel helps ensure comfortable, fatigue-free editing sessions even in brightly lit rooms.
• Immersive multimedia and productivity enhancements: Beyond pure productivity, the 27BN88Q-B supports HDR-capable content and provides smart on-screen controls for quick adjustments without navigating deep menus. The understated bezel and ergonomic stand make it a great centerpiece for both creative studios and home offices. Features like picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture modes enable you to reference multiple sources simultaneously, making it easier to compare designs, cross-check data, or follow along with tutorials while staying in your primary workflow. This monitor is designed to be as versatile as you are, whether you’re grading color, drafting layouts, or enjoying media in high quality.

• If you’re using USB-C for docking, connect the USB-C cable from the monitor to your laptop or workstation to enable data passthrough and, where available, power delivery.
• Power on the monitor and your computer. Access the on-screen display (OSD) with the physical buttons on the monitor or use LG’s OnScreen Control software if supported by your system for quick adjustments to brightness, contrast, color temperature, and gamma settings.
• Calibrate and position for comfort. Set the brightness and color temperature to a comfortable level, enable any preferred modes (e.g., Reader or Photo-Editing), and adjust the height, tilt, and swivel to align the center of the screen with your eye level for ergonomic long sessions. If you have a multi-monitor setup, consider pairing with a mount to optimize your field of view and workflow.

Frequently asked questions

  The 27BN88Q-B is designed primarily for productivity, color accuracy, and multimedia, with a 60 Hz refresh rate. It delivers sharp visuals and smooth motion for casual gaming and entertainment, but it is not a high-refresh gaming monitor.

  Yes. The USB-C port supports power delivery, enabling you to charge or dock a compatible laptop via a single cable. This simplifies desk setup by reducing cable clutter while providing data and display support.

• Q: What color accuracy can I expect?

  The LG 27BN88Q-B targets strong color accuracy with broad sRGB coverage, making it suitable for design, photo editing, and content creation. For critical color work, consider a hardware calibration with a colorimeter to achieve precise, repeatable results across sessions.

  Yes. The monitor includes VESA mounting compatibility (100 x 100 mm), allowing you to mount it on a wall or adjustable arm for flexible positioning and to maximize desk space in tight setups.

• Q: Are there built-in speakers?

  The focus of the 27BN88Q-B is on image quality and connectivity. While some LG monitors include audio features, you should plan to use external speakers or headphones for higher-quality sound, especially during long work sessions or multimedia consumption.
