LG LQ625S 27LQ625S-PU 27"
Snapshot
The 30-Second Version
A tiny smart screen that's decent for casual streaming in tight spaces. Just don't expect it to look good or handle games—at all.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Compact 27-inch size fits anywhere 89th
- webOS is fast and user-friendly

- Only one HDMI port (and it's HDMI 1.4)
- No HDR to speak of (and at 250 nits, it wouldn't matter)

The proof
Performance
We were honestly shocked by how low the gaming score landed. 14ms response time and a 60Hz panel without VRR means any console or PC gaming feels sluggish and muddy. Even the built-in Game Mode can't save it. On the flip side, the webOS software is a pleasant surprise—it's snappy and the app selection is strong for a TV this cheap. But you'll need a dark room; 250 nits is tough to overcome, and the picture washes out fast in daylight.

vs Competition
Most people shopping for a TV will look at 43-inch or larger models from Hisense, TCL, or Samsung, and those blow this LG out of the water in every metric. The Hisense U6 Series has quantum dots and local dimming; the TCL QM7K is a mini-LED beast. But those are all 50 inches and up. The LG's only real competition is other small smart monitors, like Samsung's M5 or M7 series. Those have better resolution and USB-C, but often cost more. So if you're dead set on 27 inches with built-in streaming, this LG is one of the only games in town.

Price
Value & Pricing
At the $276 end of the price spectrum, this TV is a rip-off. But you can snag it for around $123 from some sellers, and at that price it's... fine. It's a smart display with speakers, and that's about all. If you need a tiny screen for watching YouTube in the kitchen, it works. Just don't pay more than $150. Shop around, because the price spread is wild; Newegg's listing often comes in on the low side.

Overview
The LG 27LQ625S-PU is a niche product. It's a 27-inch TV that doubles as a monitor, and for a specific set of use cases—think RV, kitchen, or dorm—it's actually pretty handy. But if you're expecting even decent picture quality, look away now. Our database puts its display performance in the bottom 6% of all TVs, and gaming is a complete write-off. The one thing to know: this is a smart screen for tiny spaces, not a real TV. It gets you webOS and streaming in a compact package, and that's about it.
Common Questions
Q: Can I use this as a computer monitor?
Technically yes, but 1080p on a 27-inch monitor looks a bit soft, and the 60Hz refresh rate and 14ms response time mean you'll see ghosting in fast cursor movements. It's fine for reading email or watching videos, but not great for productivity.
Q: Does it have a TV tuner for over-the-air channels?
Nope. No coax input—you'll need a separate tuner or you'll be streaming everything. Think of it as a smart display, not a traditional TV.
Q: Can I wall-mount it?
Yes, it's VESA 75x75 compatible, so most small monitor arms and wall mounts will work. Just remember it's a bit chunky at 7.7kg.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for anything involving fast motion—sports, gaming, action movies—this isn't it. Get a TV with at least a 120Hz panel and low input lag. Or if you want a bright screen for a sunny room, grab a Samsung M7 monitor or even a cheap 32-inch Roku TV.
Verdict
If you absolutely need a smart TV that's 27 inches, the LG 27LQ625S-PU is your best (and maybe only) bet. For everyone else, skip it and buy a proper 43-inch TV and a separate monitor for your desk.
