Our Verdict
LG 27MN60T-W
MSI Optix G273
The MSI Optix G273 and the LG 27MN60T-W are different types of 1080p monitors. The MSI is geared more towards gamers as it has a higher 165Hz refresh rate, resulting in better motion handling. While the LG is designed more for productivity, the MSI is still the better office monitor because it gets much brighter, making it a better choice for well-lit offices.
