Our Verdict

MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD

LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B

The MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD and the LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B are similar 1440p, 27-inch monitors, but there are a few differences. The MSI has a few extra features for office use, like an ergonomic stand and a USB-C input that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. However, the colors look oversaturated, and the color accuracy is much better on the LG. The LG is also slightly better for gaming because it supports DP 1.4 bandwidth, allowing you to reach a higher refresh rate, and the motion handling is a bit better with lower frame rate signals.
