Top experts were impressed by the LG 27GN850-B, approving it for gaming, office use, and media creation.This monitor has native Adaptive Sync support, meaning it supports both FreeSync and is G-SYNC compatible as well. These are minor differences, but if you're going to mount your monitor, the 27GN800-B may represent a better value. No issues with input lag, latency, or motion blur and both monitors feel no different than the Dell (which is a good thing, that monitor was excellent in those regards).

The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. The legs on both have red accents but the ones on the GN850 are more hidden since they're on the underside.In spite of paying attention and showing great sensitivity when providing the information, we can not guarantee 100% accuracy. However, it has disappointing ergonomics, making it difficult to position your screen to share with someone. However, the hook for cable management feels a bit flimsy, but this may only be a problem if you're constantly removing cables from it. Blacks appear gray when viewed in the dark, and there's no local dimming feature to help improve it.

Choosing one over the other comes down to personal preference and whether you need a higher refresh rate at the cost of a lower resolution. The 27GP850 also has an optional black frame insertion feature to reduce the appearance of persistence blur, but it's a bit limited and only works over a narrow refresh rate range. It performs well in moderately-lit rooms, but the reflections may be too distracting if there's direct sunlight on it.

Once again, the 'Normal' overdrive setting results in a lot less overshoot than the 'Fast' and 'Faster' settings, and motion looks buttery smooth. It has wide viewing angles, so people viewing from the side get the same accurate image as if they would be directly in front. The 32GN650-B is much better for dark room gaming thanks to its high-contrast VA panel, but the IPS panel on the 27GN850-B has wider viewing angles that are better for co-op gaming. It maintains its brightness extremely consistent across different content, and it gets bright enough to combat glare.

I tried the HDR mode briefly on both and think it looked pretty bad but I may try to experiment some more. The LG is slightly better for gaming because it has a quicker response time at its max refresh rate and 60Hz. With IPS 1ms comparable to TN speed, providing the minimized afterimage and a fast response time, helps you to raise your winning rate.While it displays a wide range of colors, its overall HDR performance is limited because it doesn't get bright enough to make highlights stand out.
