If image quality for HDR gaming and media consumption is paramount to you, the LG 27EQ850 offers excellent color quality, making it an optimal choice for those purposes, although it's not as ideal for competitive gaming with its slower refresh rate. On the other hand, if you're focused on competitive gaming and want a faster refresh rate without sacrificing much in terms of color accuracy and HDR performance, the LG 27GR95QE is better suited to your needs and is more budget-friendly. Neither are particularly well-suited for tasks that require high brightness, like working in very bright rooms, due to their lower peak brightness levels. Give Feedback

PC Gamer
Jorge Jimenez | March 2023
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
