#1 LG 27GX790A-B
5.0

Per-pixel OLED lighting gives almost bottomless contrast, especially effective when small bright objects appear in dark scenes.

Pros: refresh rate, competitive gaming suitability

Cons: value for money, brightness

#2 LG 39GX950B-B
5.0

Pixel-level OLED control delivers extraordinary contrast and depth, especially alongside bright effects in otherwise dark scenes.

Pros: Resolution, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, Image scaling

#3 LG 27GX704A-B
5.0

Pixel-level OLED contrast creates deep shadow areas and bright highlights that stand apart, in dark rooms and under moderate ambient lighting.

Pros: overall satisfaction, value for money

Cons: reflection handling, screen uniformity

#4 LG 27GX790B-B
5.0

Excellent OLED contrast keeps dark areas black while bright highlights pop, especially in atmospheric games.

Pros: competitive gaming suitability, refresh rate

Cons: Dual-mode versatility, GPU demands

#5 LG 32GX870B-B
4.8

Pixel-level control delivers striking contrast and clean transitions between near-black areas and brilliant highlights.

Pros: brightness, color gamut

Cons: AI scene optimization, value for money

#6 LG gram +view 16
4.6

IPS contrast is generally praised as strong for a portable monitor, with measured ratios around 1,160:1–1,210:1 in multiple tests.

Pros: portability and weight, overall satisfaction

Cons: port selection, Device compatibility

#7 LG 27GX700A-B
4.4

True OLED blacks deliver striking image depth and contrast without blooming. Some inaccurate presets alter perceived black detail despite that panel strength.

Pros: reflection handling, HDR performance

Cons: screen uniformity, Screen coating clarity

#8 LG 27GM950B-B
3.8

Mini LED dimming lifts the IPS panel to impressive real-scene contrast, especially in checkerboard and dark-object tests. Native contrast without dimming remains ordinary.

Pros: Resolution, Dual-mode versatility

Cons: value for money, GPU demands

#9 LG UltraFine 6K Evo 32U990A
3.6

IPS Black gives the monitor better depth than standard IPS, but results range from merely acceptable to very good for the panel type. OLED comparisons repeatedly expose the remaining contrast...

Pros: port selection, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, cable management

#10 LG 27GR83Q-B
2.8

Contrast is acceptable for an edge-lit IPS panel, yet the limited separation between bright and dark elements is conspicuous in cinematic scenes.

Pros: refresh rate, overall satisfaction

Cons: HDR performance, contrast

#11 LG 27G610A-B
2.3

The IPS panel’s modest native contrast makes darker scenes look flat compared with VA or OLED screens. Basic HDR support cannot fully overcome that limitation.

Pros: refresh rate, value for money

Cons: HDR performance, contrast

#12 LG 24GS65F-B
2.1

Native IPS contrast is weak, leaving dark scenes washed out. Black Stabilizer can reveal targets but further reduces image depth.

Pros: adaptive sync performance, response time

Cons: HDR performance, console gaming compatibility
