LG 27GN950

The LG 27GN950 is the best 4K IPS monitor under $1000 if you need a display that’s great for color-critical work as well as gaming. It offers smooth performance thanks to its 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and variable refresh rate while its IPS panel ensures accurate and vibrant colors. Additionally, the monitor offers a gorgeous design with interesting RGB lighting. Plus, decent HDR support with DisplayHDR 600 certification – all that at a lower price than that of the competing 27″ 4K 144Hz IPS models!
