Our Verdict

LG 27UK650-W

Philips Momentum 436M6VBPAB

Despite the difference in panel technologies, the LG 27UK650-W is much better than the Philips 436M6VBPAB. The 27UK650-W uses an IPS panel, which has much better viewing angles and much better gray uniformity. The 27UK650-W also has a more versatile stand with better ergonomics. The Philips uses a VA panel, so it looks much better in a dark room and delivers a better HDR experience than the 27UK650-W.
