Our Verdict
AOC Q27G3XMN
LG 27GR83Q-B
The AOC Q27G3XMN and the LG 27GR83Q-B are both 27-inch, 1440p gaming monitors. The AOC is the better choice for most gamers, as it has much deeper blacks, highlights that pop, and more vivid colors. However, the LG has much better viewing angles, so you may prefer it if you need to share your screen with someone else, though it doesn't swivel.
