So first: those specs. 1440p and 144Hz strikes a nice balance between games of all kinds; with a mid-range PC you can target the higher-than-1080p resolution in slower paced games and really marvel at the colours and clarity of this 27-in display, while for more competitive fare you can drop settings or even resolution while taking advantage of the buttery-smooth feeling of 144Hz. If you have a high-end PC, you can have both - sharp visuals and a fluid experience. Add in FreeSync and G-Sync support, an ergonomic stand that allows perfect positioning and a handy USB hub, and you have a strong all-around monitor with few direct competitors - especially at this reduced price point.
I looked for the 27GL850 elsewhere online, and found it on Amazon for the same price - but it’s out of stock. Otherwise, the best alternative I can find is theMSI MAG272CQR, another 27-in 1440p 144Hz monitor… but this one uses a curved VA panel, providing much better contrast but worse viewing angles and motion clarity. If you’re going to be working on this monitor or you play fast-paced games, I’d go for the LG, but if singleplayer experiences or movie watching are more your bag, then the MSI model could be a great choice at the same price. For more on the MAG272CQR, check outKatharine’s review from last yearandmy deals coverage from earlier this month. There’s also theLG 27GN850we covered earlier this week, which again uses the same panel, but it lacks the excellent stand and USB port of the 27GL850 - and I’d say they’re worth the extra money. YMMV though!
