If you're interested in competitive gaming or enjoy games with fast action, the LG 27GP83B with its higher refresh rate and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support might serve you better, providing smoother gameplay. For tasks that require a unique screen setup such as coding, editing documents, or managing large spreadsheets, the LG DualUp with its taller aspect ratio and more screen real estate could enhance your productivity. However, if you primarily consume media or play HDR games, neither monitor is particularly well-suited for HDR viewing. The LG 27GP83B offers better performance for gaming at a lower cost, while the LG DualUp may be more suitable for professional use in a productivity-focused setup despite its higher price.
