Which monitor to get?

ChrisZH · July 23, 2020

I'm looking at the LG 27gn850-b monitor and the Aorus fi27q. They are both the same specs but I know the Aorus uses an innolux panel. The monitor I currently have uses one too and suffers from flickering/arifacting. It didn't used to do this but I am not the only one with an Acer xv272u monitor to have this. So I am kinda hesitant to get another innolux panel because of this. I have heard great things with the best buy LG monitor, but also good things about the Aorus monitor. So I am not too sure which one to buy and would appreciate any help from your opinions. If you have a different choice please let me know, I am looking for a 27" to a 32" IPS display that is 1440p and 144hz.

I haven't used it so can't speak from experience, but I've been looking at monitor options too and the AOC Agon AG273QX (or QCX if you want a curved monitor) seems to get good reviews. It's a 27 inch,1440p, 165Hz design - stock is low though so prices may be high at the moment.

From what I've been reading people love the LG monitor so I am really thinking about it. LG is known for their quality control right? I'm just stuck between the LG and the Aorus. The Aorus looks like the build quality is amazing, but idk about the innolux panel on it...

theres only really two major monitor panel makers LG and samsung so all these other people like aorus dell etc are probably either using an LG panel or a samsung panel in their monitors

Well for the Aorus monitor people are saying it's an innolux panel. The same as my current Acer monitor. I really wish my monitor didn't have these problems because it's amazing otherwise. Started happening after I couldn't return it anymore..

Here are the reviews for the said monitors.

I'll also add this one, as it should be around the same price range.

Here's a table tool where you can find even more monitors. You can add more filters from the "add column" button. I'll also add an 1440p gaming article.
