The LG 27GR95QE offers an exceptional gaming experience with its 240Hz refresh rate and 2560 x 1440 resolution on a 27-inch screen, making it ideal for competitive gaming. Its W-OLED panel delivers perfect contrast and excellent color accuracy, suitable for digital photo editing with its wide color gamut. However, it's priced at a premium and may not be as versatile for productivity due to its average text quality and lack of USB ports. On the other hand, the Phillips 34M2C8600 features a larger 34-inch QD-OLED display with a 175Hz refresh rate and a wider 21:9 aspect ratio, which is great for immersive media consumption and can handle HDR content well. It's also competitively priced and offers a more versatile productivity experience with its larger screen real estate and higher peak brightness. While it's suitable for casual gaming, the lower refresh rate compared to the LG might not satisfy hardcore competitive gamers. Additionally, it has a higher pixel density, contributing to sharper image clarity. In summary, if gaming performance is your top priority and you're looking for the smoothest experience with a high refresh rate, the LG 27GR95QE is the way to go. However, if you want a more all-around monitor that excels in media consumption, productivity, and casual gaming, while also being more budget-friendly, the Phillips 34M2C8600 would be the better choice.

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."
