If you prioritize a smoother gaming experience and are on a tighter budget, the Innocn 27G1S (VA) could be a great choice due to its higher refresh rate, which may appeal to competitive gamers. However, the LG 27GP83B (IPS) offers better color accuracy, which makes it more suitable for tasks like digital photo editing. The LG's IPS panel also generally provides better viewing angles and color consistency, which can be preferable for productivity and general media consumption, while the Innocn's VA panel may offer better contrast. Keep in mind, the LG monitor might have some advantages for gaming too, such as a wider variable refresh rate range, but it does come at a higher price point. Give Feedback
