What makes the LG 27GL83A-B so deserving of the top spot? The MSI obviously has a bigger screen size at 32 inches. The ASUS VG27BQ even offers a higher refresh rate at 165hz, with an HDR screen.
But, only the LG 27GL83A-B offers an HDR viewing experience almost the same as those in more expensive monitors. The HDR feature is mainly due to its wide color gamut of ~98% DCI-P3 (equivalent to ~135% sRGB) support, allowing some HDR content/scenes to look better.
With the perfect pixel-per-inch ratio of ~108 PPI that eliminates the need for scaling, its 1440p resolution ensures crispier details and a lot of room to play with on its 27inches framed monitor.
Now, to think of it clearly, the HDR is just one of the perks that make the LG 27GL83A-B very good. Its IPS panel monitors have the fastest speeds with a 1ms (GtG) pixel response time. Nothing like ghosting when playing fast-paced games.
This LG 1440p monitor is certified as G-SYNC compatible by NVIDIA. As such, compatible NVIDIA GPUs will work with FreeSync without issue.
Overall, the LG 27GL83A, with its subtle red color accents and matte-black bezels, delivers lots of high-end features with its immersive, unsaturated images and seamless performance.
