#1 LG 27GX704A-B
5.0

Fast OLED response, 240Hz refresh, and a compact 27-inch frame make tracking opponents especially effective.

Pros: overall satisfaction, value for money

Cons: reflection handling, screen uniformity

#2 LG 27GX790A-B
4.9

This is a standout fit for serious esports players who can drive 1440p at very high frame rates: targets stay crisp and controls feel immediate.

Pros: refresh rate, competitive gaming suitability

Cons: value for money, brightness

#3 LG 27GX790B-B
4.9

Serious esports players get exceptionally clear motion and responsive control, especially in lightweight shooters that can run at hundreds of frames per second.

Pros: competitive gaming suitability, refresh rate

Cons: Dual-mode versatility, GPU demands

#4 LG 27GR83Q-B
4.8

240Hz, low latency, and good motion tuning are particularly persuasive for esports and fast shooters. Running close to 240fps makes the most of it.

Pros: refresh rate, overall satisfaction

Cons: HDR performance, contrast

#5 LG 32GX870B-B
4.6

The 480Hz Full HD mode and fast pixel response suit fast multiplayer shooters, provided you can accept a visibly softer image at 32 inches.

Pros: brightness, color gamut

Cons: AI scene optimization, value for money

#6 LG 27GX700A-B
4.6

The 280Hz refresh, exceptionally quick pixel response, and low lag make competitive games feel immediate and clear. Even faster esports models exist for players prioritizing refresh above image quality.

Pros: reflection handling, HDR performance

Cons: screen uniformity, Screen coating clarity

#7 LG 27G610A-B
4.5

The 200Hz refresh rate, low input lag, and quick response give fast PC games a responsive feel, even if overshoot at lower refresh rates prevents flawless motion clarity.

Pros: refresh rate, value for money

Cons: HDR performance, contrast

#8 LG 27GM950B-B
4.4

The 1440p/330Hz mode and low latency work well for shooters and racing. OLED competitors retain an edge in response speed, and overdrive tuning is less consistent across refresh rates.

Pros: Resolution, Dual-mode versatility

Cons: value for money, GPU demands

#9 LG 24GS65F-B
3.9

Fast refresh, low input lag, and usable motion tuning make this a capable affordable esports screen. Higher-refresh rivals are better for the most demanding competitive players.

Pros: adaptive sync performance, response time

Cons: HDR performance, console gaming compatibility

#10 LG 39GX950B-B
3.9

Very low lag and optional 330Hz speed help fast shooters, but the lower-resolution picture and large form factor make it conditional for esports.

Pros: Resolution, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, Image scaling

#11 LG UltraFine 6K Evo 32U990A
1.5

This is not a competitive gaming monitor. Reviewers explicitly steer serious gamers elsewhere because 60Hz and modest motion performance outweigh the otherwise low input lag.

Pros: port selection, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, cable management
