Solution

Yeah, I read that article. The response times for both are 5 ms, which is good for gaming. But what about refresh rates?

Refresh rate is important too! Both have a 60 Hz refresh rate, which is mediocre for gaming. Higher refresh rates like 120 Hz or 144 Hz would give you smoother gameplay.

So, I should aim for at least a 120 Hz refresh rate then? What about color accuracy?

Yeah, and the LG 27UL850-W has better color capability with 99% SRGB compared to the 27UL500-W's 98% SRGB. That could be important for some gamers.

Interesting! I didn't know color accuracy mattered much in gaming. Thanks for the advice!

No problem! I'll read more about it and check out those monitors.

You're welcome! Good luck with your search!
