Our Verdict
LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B
ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD
The LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B is better than the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD. The LG has much better ergonomics, motion handling, and color accuracy, but the ViewSonic has a much better contrast ratio and black uniformity. The LG supports HDR and has a much better gradient performance, but doesn't have a black frame insertion feature like the ViewSonic.
