The LG 27GR95QE offers a superior gaming experience with its 240Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for competitive gaming, though it comes at a premium price. Its W-OLED panel delivers perfect contrast and excellent color accuracy, which is great for dark room gaming and HDR content. However, its peak brightness is lower than the MSI, which might not be ideal for well-lit rooms. The LG also lacks HDMI 2.1 ports, which could be a drawback for next-gen console gamers. On the other hand, the MSI MPG 271QRX, while also an OLED with infinite contrast and superb color performance, boasts a higher peak brightness, making it more versatile for various lighting conditions and better for HDR. Its QD-OLED technology provides wider color gamuts, beneficial for content creation, and it includes HDMI 2.1 ports for the latest gaming consoles. The 360Hz refresh rate is overkill for most gamers, but it's there for those who want the absolute best in competitive gaming. It's also typically slightly less expensive than the LG. If you prioritize the ultimate gaming performance and can afford it, the LG with its higher refresh rate might be the way to go. However, if you want a balance of high-end gaming features, better HDR performance, and content creation capabilities, the MSI is the more well-rounded choice, especially if you're in a brighter room or plan to use it with a PS5 or Xbox Series X.

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."
