On the other hand, the LG has much better out-of-the-box accuracy, so you may not need to get it calibrated. On the other hand, the 27GN850-B has a lower refresh rate of 144Hz compared to the 165Hz on the 32GN650-B. Added tests for Console Compatibility and macOS compatibility and made minor changes to other tests, which you can see in our Changelog. Blacks appear gray when viewed in the dark, and there's no local dimming feature to help improve it.

The Dell S2721DGF is a bit better overall than the LG 27GN850-B/27GN880-B, but the two monitors are very similar. The 27GN850-B displays wider SDR and HDR color gamuts, meaning it's a better choice for content creators.

Once again, the 'Normal' overdrive setting results in a lot less overshoot than the 'Fast' and 'Faster' settings, and motion looks buttery smooth. It also has a low contrast that makes blacks look gray in the dark and lacks a local dimming feature to further improve it. I swapped the Dell out for the GN850 once I received it and I've been using it side-by-side with the GL83A for the past couple of days.Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. Additionally, the LG 27GP850-B has a USB hub and a black frame insertion feature, which reduces the appearance of blur in some situations, but both features are not there on the LG 27GN850-B (this review). It has wide viewing angles, so people viewing from the side get the same accurate image as if they would be directly in front.

This monitor has native Adaptive Sync support, meaning it supports both FreeSync and is G-SYNC compatible as well.

Like at its max refresh rate, the 'Normal' overdrive setting results in the clearest motion with the least amount of overshoot. Clarified the differences between this monitor and its variant, the LG 27GN880-B, in the Variants section. The large screen and high resolution mean you can easily open multiple windows side-by-side, which is great for multitasking.
