Our Verdict

LG 32GK850G-B

LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B

For most uses, the LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B is better than the LG 32GK850G-B. The 27GL850-B provides better visibility, as it has wider viewing angles, higher peak brightness, and better reflection handling. The 27GL850-B supports HDR and its response time is faster. However, the 32GK850G-B's VA panel has a higher contrast ratio and a slightly higher refresh rate. The 27GL850-B is a native FreeSync monitor, while the 32GK850G-B supports G-SYNC natively.
