The LG 27GN800P is a great gaming monitor from LG’s UltraGear lineup. It’s very similar to the LG 27GN850-B with a nearly identical panel but a much cheaper stand, so don’t expect much ergonomic adjustability. When it comes to gaming, it delivers exceptionally smooth motion thanks to its fast response time and 144Hz refresh rate. It also has low input lag and variable refresh rate (VRR) support. Like other IPS panels, it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray in the dark, but on the upside, its viewing angles are wide enough to easily share content on your screen. Glare shouldn’t be an issue either since it gets quite bright and has great reflection handling. While it has a wide HDR color gamut and delivers an okay HDR experience, it doesn’t get bright enough to make highlights truly pop. On the upside, it has a fantastic color gamut in SDR.

Pros :

• Exceptionally fast response time.
• Low input lag. 
• Native FreeSync and G-SYNC compatible.
• Bright enough to fight glare.
• Size and resolution are well-suited for many uses.

Cons :

• Poor contrast ratio. 
• Cheap stand with terrible ergonomics.

The ASUS VG279Q is a good 27 inch, 144Hz monitor with an IPS panel. It has a simple design with outstanding ergonomics. It delivers a good picture quality, with extremely accurate colors and great peak brightness, but it’s limited a bit by its 1080p resolution. Motion looks great thanks to the extremely fast response time, and it has a black frame insertion feature to help reduce any motion blur. It also supports FreeSync variable refresh rate technology to reduce tearing in games. Unfortunately, as is the case with most IPS monitors, it doesn’t look good in a dark room due to its low contrast ratio, but it has wide viewing angles.

Pros :

• Fantastic motion handling.
• Outstanding color accuracy out of the box.

Cons:

• Limited 1080p resolution.
• Mediocre dark room performance.
