Our Verdict

LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B

ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q1A

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q1A and the LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B are both gaming monitors but with very different specs. The ASUS has a 1080p resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, while the LG has a 1440p resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The ASUS' slightly higher refresh rate and better response times provide a marginally better gaming experience, but its smaller screen size and lower resolution make it less ideal for work and media consumption. The LG has significantly better ergonomics, but it still doesn't allow for swivel adjustment.
