Top 5 Gaming Monitors to buy in 2023

Number 2. LG 27GP850-B

 

 

The LG 27GP850-B, for many enthusiasts, emerges as the quintessential gaming monitor. Sporting a remarkable 27-inch canvas, this monitor paints a vivid 1440p Nano IPS tableau. A native 165Hz refresh rate forms the foundation, allowing for a seamless gaming experience. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, there’s even the option to overclock it to a formidable 180Hz.

But the 27GP850-B isn’t just about raw specs; it excels in pixel response times, boasting a swift 1ms GtG (as per LG’s claims). To further enhance motion clarity for those fortunate enough to have GPUs sustaining a frame rate north of 120fps, it’s equipped with a backlight strobing feature. In terms of compatibility, the monitor holds both FreeSync Premium and G-Sync certifications, ensuring a smooth ride on the graphics frontier.

Now, if you happen to scour your local retailers without success in your quest for the elusive 27GP850-B, fret not. The LG 27GL83A-B presents itself as a worthy alternative. Though a few years in the market, it still flaunts a commendable 144Hz refresh rate and rapid response times. The icing on the cake? It’s at least $100 more budget-friendly than its fancier sibling. Personally, I’ve been tethered to the Dell iteration of this display since mid-2021 (a sorrowful tale as it’s no longer available), and I can’t foresee parting ways with it until the era of affordable OLED monitors beckons.
