Hi everyone!
I want to buy a 2K monitor and I'm in between these products. I'll use the monitor with a laptop (gtx1070) for now and later with a new build. Color accuracy is important for me cuz I produce still image renderings. Ergonomics seem important to me as well but debatable.
I compared all of these on RTING.COM They are very similar but I do not know if there are some common issues with any of them.

MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD
LG 27GP850-B
ASUS TUF VG27AQ
Gigabyte M27Q

My budget can cover any of the monitors above but of course, if there is no solid reason to choose the most expensive one, I could save some money. :)
I'm from Turkey btw.

Can anyone help?
Thanks 🙌

For color accuracy I'd opt for either the MSI or LG, as both have 10bit color (through FRC), the others don't, as far as I can tell.

The LG is a bit brighter than the MSI, but otherwise almost equal. The LG seems to be cheaper generally, though, so that's the one I'd opt for.

Thanks, Alex!

I also felt close to those brands. Recently someone recommended me an MSI model but the non-QD one. (MSI Optix MAG274QRF 27")

I quote,
"LG 27GP850 is fast, but has a mediocre contrast ratio, so blacks will be noticeably gray, especially in dark conditions."

Here is the comparison. I could not find the model without QD, but they say the only difference between the QD and non-QD models is the color gamut. sRGB and DCI-P3 value differences are not that big.

So, I'm thinking to buy MSI Optix MAG274QRF 27" for now. Do you know this model?
