Given the slight boost it has to out-of-the-box accuracy and Adobe RGB, the 27GN850-B edges out this category. With that said, almost nobody will notice any difference between the two here – they are some of the best around. Contrast ratio and brightness are two categories that both monitors sadly fall short in. While the advertised ratios are respectable, plenty of real-world testing and monitor comparisons have provided some disappointing results. While the monitors are still great options, contrast is a major failing of the panel. If you work in a bright room or consistently see changing light around you, it may be best to consider other options.

After calibration top balance out gamma settings and color temperature, both monitors boast upwards of 99.6% sRGB color accuracy. Adobe RGB has 84.2% color accuracy on the 27GL850-B and 88.8% on the 27GN850-B as well, making both monitors perfect for people switching between gaming and content creation. LG is one of the leading manufacturers in the gaming monitor scene, and for good reason. Their entries into the space in recent years have perfectly blended power, performance, and price, hitting right where the average consumer want them to. Two of their most popular models are the 27GL850-B and 27GN850-B – 1440p IPS panel monitors with a variety of features to boot. Some variation is expected between units, but numbers this far below advertising speak to a larger issue with the panel. IPS panels have traditionally struggled with contrast, and LG clearly focused on other specs of this screen. Do not expect great contrast performance from either. The two monitors are large, 27” IPS screens with QHD resolutions. Made and marketed toward gamers, they have all the common features you could expect from a modern gaming monitor, including high refresh rate and low response time. Technically speaking, the 27GN850-B is a slightly newer offering than the 27GL850-B. However, they work best in tandem. They share a striking number of technical aspects, with the main differences between the two being in connectivity and color coverage.

HDR support is standard on both screens and shares the same technology and color boosting technology. While this mode can cause some issues otherwise with response time and refresh rate, it is a welcome boost for watching movies or generally consuming media. After some necessary post calibration, these two monitors are some of the best options available for color accuracy and gamut. Out of the box, they both struggle with correctly displaying blue tints, and the provided picture modes are nothing special. With that said, most users will not have any issues with the immediate options but taking some time to properly calibrate is a good idea. With no calibration, the 27GN850-B slightly edges out the 27GL850-B.
