If you're a competitive gamer who values a high refresh rate and low response time, the Nubia RedMagic would be a better fit at a lower price. For graphic designers and those requiring exceptional color accuracy and consistency, the LG 27EQ850 excels, particularly for print photo editing, but it comes at a premium cost. The LG's OLED panel offers infinite contrast and deep blacks, which is great for HDR gaming and media consumption, yet it has a lower brightness than the Nubia. For productivity and media consumption, the Nubia offers very good performance, making it a well-rounded choice that's also easier on the wallet. Give Feedback
