Our Verdict

LG 27GR93U-B

MSI MAG 274UPF

The LG 27GR93U-B and the MSI MAG 274UPF are 27-inch 4k gaming monitors. Both monitors have very similar performance; you may prefer to get whichever is cheaper. The MSI is a better choice if you want USB-C connectivity and a KVM switch. However, if you do a lot of co-op gaming, you may prefer the LG, as it has wider viewing angles.
