luxury features, this 27in, 1440p monitor has all the screen
estateand sharpness you could want forthe price, along
with astrong grasp of the fundamentals such as colour
performance and brightness.
Forgaming, we recommend splashing out on the LG 27GL850.
The most competitive players might be drawn to the AOC

C27G2ZE’s 240Hz refresh rate, but the 144Hz 27GL850 still looks

impeccably smooth, especially as it doesn’t suffer from the

C27G2ZE’s ghosting problem. While it’s much more expensive,it’s

justified by wayofits farsharper resolution, more adjustable stand

and generally nicer-looking image.Don’t forget that it’s actually a

lot cheaper than some other Nano IPS monitors, too.
