If you prioritize high contrast and excellent color performance for tasks like photo editing and media consumption, the LG 27EP950 with its OLED panel offers superior image quality. However, it's more costly and not as well-suited for gaming due to its lower refresh rate. On the other hand, the Innocn 27M2V, while less expensive, offers a good balance for various uses, including casual gaming, with its higher refresh rate and decent color accuracy, making it a versatile choice. Keep in mind, the Innocn's MiniLED panel won't match the LG's perfect blacks in HDR content. Choose the Innocn for a well-rounded, cost-effective option or the LG if budget allows and image quality is your primary concern. Give Feedback

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
