Our Verdict

Sony INZONE M10S

LG 27GX790A-B

The Sony INZONE M10S and the LG 27GX790A-B are 1440p 480Hz WOLED displays designed for competitive gamers. Both displays are very similar, and most people should get whichever they can find cheaper. However, if you're looking for every competitive edge, the Sony has a unique mode that enhances the outline of enemies in some FPS games.
