Pros

  • 1. LG 27GP850-B, 180Hz, 420$
  • Popping in after using my LG 27gp850-b for a while and wanting to give it to my little brother as a graduation gift.
  • LG 27GP850-B should fit the bill for only $200. 98% DCI-P3 coverage out of the box and easy to calibrate for yout color work. IPS panel so not the best contrast but still good colors and great response times with 165Hz refresh standard a...
  • LG 27GP850-b, can't go wrong.
  • Based on your use case, I'd also strongly consider the LG 27GP850-B.

Cons

  • I already own LG 27GP850-b for quite some time, but the nano IPS panel is killing my eyes, no matter the settings and lightning in the room.
  • Currently in the same place as you and torn between the XG27ACS, the LG 27GP850-B, and the AOC Q27G3XMN.
  • Isn't the LG 27GP850-B outdated? and is the sub 1000:1 contrast ratio really as bad?

LG 27GP850-B should fit the bill for only $200. 98% DCI-P3 coverage out of the box and easy to calibrate for yout color work. IPS panel so not the best contrast but still good colors and great response times with 165Hz refresh standard and OC option to kick it to 180Hz if you want. I got one about a year ago and love it!

I have a GP850. Contrast is indeed not great at 800:1, but at least my unit is almost absolutely perfect in terms of uniformity, it has no visible backlight bleed and IPS glow is not very noticeable at normal angles. ... Motion clarity is very good and there is basically zero VRR flicker (this one is important for me, I hate flicker).
