Our Verdict
Samsung CHG70
LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B
The two monitors use different panel technologies, each with advantages and disadvantages. The LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B has an IPS panel that allows wider viewing angles, whereas the Samsung CHG70 has a VA panel and offers better dark room performance thanks to the much better contrast ratio and local dimming feature. The LG has slightly faster response time, but the Samsung has a black frame insertion feature that can help make motion look crisper.
