Better Gaming Monitor: LG 27UK650-W or BenQ 27PD2700U?

I'm trying to decide on a new gaming monitor and am torn between the LG 27UK650-W and BenQ 27PD2700U. Can anyone share their experiences with these monitors or offer any advice? I'd really appreciate it.

Hi @girlcanuck! I've been using the BenQ 27PD2700U for a few months now, and I must say, it's an excellent monitor for gaming. The color accuracy is outstanding, and the 4K resolution really makes a difference in game visuals. The refresh rate could be better, but it's still decent overall.

Hey @girlcanuck! I've been using the LG 27UK650-W for quite some time now, and it's great too! The IPS panel delivers vibrant colors and wide viewing angles. However, like @lokigabe mentioned, the refresh rate could be better. Still, I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase.

I've done some research on these two monitors, and I found this TechReviewer article LG 27" 27UK650-W vs. BenQ 27" PD2700U that compares them in detail. It might help you make a decision.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, @lokigabe and @BrandonPozo, and the link to the comparison article, @kerumeru! The color accuracy and 4K resolution of the BenQ monitor seem really impressive. As for the LG monitor, I'm glad to hear that it delivers vibrant colors.

I have both monitors and I can say that they're both great options. However, if you're looking for a better refresh rate, the BenQ 27PD2700U might be the way to go. The LG monitor's IPS panel is excellent, but it could use an upgrade in its refresh rate department.

@Aroewer24 makes a valid point about the refresh rates. I've noticed that when playing fast-paced games like COD or Overwatch, the lower refresh rate can become a bit of an issue. However, for most other games, it's not too bad.

Yeah, I agree with you, @lokigabe. The LG 27UK650-W is fantastic for general use and browsing, but when it comes to fast-paced gaming, the BenQ 27PD2700U has a slight edge due to its better refresh rate.

Thanks for all the input, everyone! Based on your experiences and the article link @kerumeru shared, I think I'll go with the BenQ 27PD2700U. The higher refresh rate should make a difference in my fast-paced games, even though the LG monitor has great color accuracy.

That's a wise decision, @girlcanuck! You won't be disappointed with the BenQ 27PD2700U for gaming. And if you ever want to upgrade your monitor again, remember that TechReviewer is always here to help you out! Good luck!
