If you're looking for a monitor that excels in competitive gaming with a very good refresh rate and low response time, the Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 would be a solid choice, especially if budget is a concern as it's less expensive. However, the LG 27EQ850 offers a higher screen resolution which provides better image clarity and is more suitable for tasks that require accurate color representation, such as print photo editing. Keep in mind that the LG's higher resolution may not be as advantageous for gaming due to its poorer refresh rate, which could result in less fluid visuals during fast-paced games. If productivity and image editing are a priority over gaming, and you don't mind spending more, the LG could be the better fit. Give Feedback
