Our Verdict

LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B

AOC Q27G3XMN

The LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B and the AOC Q27G3XMN are both 27-inch 1440p gaming monitors. The AOC is a better option if you play a lot of immersive games, as it has highlights that are bright enough to pop, and it displays vivid colors. However, you may prefer the LG if you're bothered by smearing in fast-moving games, as it doesn't have dark trails behind fast-moving objects in dark scenes like the AOC.
