Our Verdict

LG 34GN850-B

LG 34GP950G-B

The LG 34GN850-B and the LG 34GP950G-B are very similar overall. The 34GP950G has a slightly higher refresh rate and a faster response time when gaming at 60Hz. There's also a difference in the supported gaming technologies. The 34GP950G is a native G-SYNC monitor, whereas the 34GN850-B supports FreeSync, so if you want to get the most out of your graphics card, it might be better to get the one that matches your card.
