Our Verdict
HP OMEN 27qs
LG 27GR83Q-B
The HP OMEN 27qs and the LG 27GR83Q-B are competing 240Hz, 1440p gaming monitors. They perform very similarly, and their differences come down to features. The LG has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, letting you reach higher refresh rates over HDMI and take advantage of gaming consoles. On the other hand, the HP has a local dimming feature that helps it get brighter in HDR, but it also causes blooming, so it isn't that much of an advantage. The HP also has much better color accuracy, which is ideal for content creators.

HP OMEN 27qs vs LG 27GR83Q-B: Main Discussion
What do you think of these products? Let us know below.
Looking for a personalized buying advice from the RTINGS.com experts? Insiders have direct access to buying advice on our insider forum.
The biggest difference between 10-bit and 8-bit color depth is banding. You’ll see this in scenes with shades of similar colors, like a sunset, and there’s more banding in 8-bit in this case. You can see faint lines where there are supposed to be transitions between colors, which is what banding is.
Is the difference between 8-bit color at 240hz and 10-bit color at 240hz noticeable in 1440p gaming between these monitors?
