Our Verdict
LG 27GP950-B
ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQR
The ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQR and the LG 27GP950-B are both excellent 4k gaming monitors. They have many similarities, especially in their performance, but the LG has a lower input lag at 60Hz for a more responsive feel. However, most of their differences are minor, as the ASUS has a more ergonomic stand and better reflection handling, making it the better choice for well-lit rooms.
