If you want a monitor that's easier on the wallet and offers a solid experience for casual and competitive gaming due to its high refresh rate and good response time, the Innocn 27G1S is worth considering. However, the LG 34GN850B with its larger, wider screen and better color coverage may be more suitable if your focus is on productivity or if you want an immersive experience for media consumption despite its somewhat slower response time and lower refresh rate. Neither monitor is ideal for HDR gaming and media consumption, so if that's a priority, you might want to look for alternatives. Give Feedback

Notebook Check
Allen Ngo | June 2023
"The monitor is a sweet spot for gamers who want something faster than 165 Hz while keeping the benefits of fast response times and relative affordability. The VA panel is now more competitive against many IPS options."

Tim Schiesser | August 2020
"Mid-range 3440 x 1440 144Hz VA monitors are ~$500 to $600 these days. You are getting a much better product for the higher price of the LG, with faster response times and better colors (outside of the contrast ratio), but this is definitely a monitor that is reserved for those that want the best of the best and are willing to pay for it."
