The LG Ultragear 27GP850 clearly wins this duel: it offers better picture quality and features. For gaming, image and video editing, it is ideally suited - but also more expensive. On the other hand, if you are looking for an affordable monitor for internet and office tasks, you can't go wrong with the Acer CB272 - it didn't make any major mistakes in the test.

The LG 27GP850-B performs well to very well overall in the test and, at a street price of around 470 euros, is definitely recommendable.
- Stable and high-quality processing
- No dust inclusions or pixel defects
- secure stand
- Very good picture quality (contrast, clear colours)
- Viewpoint
- homogeneous illumination

... LG, on the other hand, scores with a really good colour space coverage in a colour depth of native 10 bits - and a favourable price of only 450 euros. With this good offer, many gamers could overlook the contrast deficit. The predecessor 27GL850 is also available for another hundred euros less, but "only" with 144 Hz, which is often sufficient.
