LG Monitor 27GN850-B 27GN850B 27" QHD Wide 1440p (27GN850)

Product Information

I swapped the Dell out for the GN850 once I received it and I've been using it side-by-side with the GL83A for the past couple of days. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It supports Adaptive Sync and is compatible with both FreeSync and G-SYNC to reduce screen tearing, and the input lag is also incredibly low. Greater Clarity, More Realistic 27GN850 supports HDR10, enabling realistic visual immersion with rich colors and contrast.

It's most noticeable with reds and blues; for example in shows and movies people's skin can look a little too flushed and orange/brown/beige background elements can appear too red and it looks a bit off.Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. We use cookies, including cookies from third parties, to enhance your user experience and the effectiveness of our marketing activities. It has a QHD 2560 x 1440 27-inch screen, delivering visual immersion, and it supports both FreeSync and G-SYNC reducing screen tearing. The 32GP850 has a slightly faster refresh rate, better reflection handling, and it has an optional black frame insertion feature to reduce persistence blur.

Uniformity seems a bit better on the GL83A on both white and grey backgrounds but this could be down to panel variance. The Samsung has a faster 165Hz refresh rate, and it's certified by AMD to have native FreeSync support, while the LG is FreeSync compatible. See our recommendations for the best 1440p 144Hz monitors, the best gaming monitors, and the best LG monitors. It has an IPS panel with wide viewing angles, so the image remains accurate when viewing from the side.The 32GN650-B is much better for dark room gaming thanks to its high-contrast VA panel, but the IPS panel on the 27GN850-B has wider viewing angles that are better for co-op gaming. The MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD is a bit better for most uses than the LG 27GN850-B/27GN880-B, but they have many of the same features. They both have the same features: height adjust (smooth and feels good) tilt, and rotate (from landscape to portrait mode). Center-display crosshairs give enhanced vision and pro-level precision for increased accuracy in first-person shooter games. However, the Gigabyte is better for office use because it has improved ergonomics and it gets brighter, so it's a better choice for well-lit rooms.

To me the GL83A looks nice and balanced, while the GN850 definitely has those overly saturated colors. It performs well in moderately-lit rooms, but the reflections may be too distracting if there's direct sunlight on it.

If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

Helped by its incredible color gamut and good peak brightness, it displays colors at a wide range of luminance levels. If the reviewer only reviewed the product you are looking at or if he/she only posts positive review, it might be that the review is not objective and only meant to promote the product. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. Top experts were impressed by the LG 27GN850-B, approving it for gaming, office use, and media creation.

Choosing one over the other comes down to personal preference and whether you need a higher refresh rate at the cost of a lower resolution. Both are 1440p monitors, but the smaller size of the 27GN850-B means it has a greater pixel density, resulting in a crisper image. These are minor differences, but if you're going to mount your monitor, the 27GN800-B may represent a better value.
