The LG UltraGear 27GP850-B scores highest at 8.0, but it costs 70,00 € more than the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV, which scores 7.4. That premium buys you repairability — 1.6 points of it. Worth it if high-refresh gaming on a budget describes you; otherwise it is money you keep. Watch out for 75 Hz — fine for work, not for play on the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV.
