Our Verdict
LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B
ASUS TUF VG27VQ
The LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B is a much better monitor than the ASUS TUF VG27VQ. The 1440p resolution provides clearer images, plus the viewing angles, response time, and gradient handling are much better on the LG, and it supports HDR. Instead, the ASUS has a much better contrast ratio and higher refresh rate, which might please some gamers who don't mind losing some picture quality.
