If you're on a tighter budget and want a solid gaming experience, the Innocn 27G1S offers a good refresh rate and performance, though it doesn't excel in color accuracy or HDR content. The LG 27GR95QL's higher cost is justified by its superior color depth, contrast, and HDR capability, making it the better choice for high-fidelity gaming and media consumption. However, the LG's peak brightness isn't as high as some other premium options, which could affect its performance in very bright rooms. For competitive gaming, both monitors offer very good responsiveness, but the LG's OLED technology generally provides better image clarity and less ghosting. Give Feedback
