[SOLVED] Upgrade to an LG 27GL83A-B ?

[Shiroyasha813]

I bought the Gigabyte G27Q because it was cheap and heard pretty good things about it. But someone also suggested the LG 27GL83A-B.
From what I understand the 27GL83A-B is a better monitor, but I was wondering if the $70 extra is worth the upgrade. In which ways is it better?

What do you not like about the Gigabyte one?

Did you ask whoever suggested the LG why they think it's better? If you heard it's better there would be some things you can look at to find out why that is so.

I own the G27Q, it's good but the response time in review testing showed it quite a bit over the 1ms they advertise. But that is an issue with the cheaper end of gaming monitors, to get a real high refresh rate with IPS you are going to be in the 400-600 range. When I compared it to my 75hz IPS 1080 screen, it was noticeably smoother and nice colors.
