LG UltraGear 27GP850-B
The 27GP850-B is a 27-inch 1440p IPS panel running 180Hz, long regarded as the budget benchmark for high-refresh gaming with strong factory color out of the box. Its beginner tier marks it as a value reference rather than a premium display. IPS contrast is its ceiling, so anyone chasing OLED-level blacks and contrast will want to spend up.
