All 3 of them are pretty good monitors for the purposes you have mentioned.

But it seems like you are going for FHD ( 1080P ) , the 27 inches are a little too large you will start to notice some blurry and jagged details in the games you are playing .

The sweet spot for 1080p is at 24 inches .Something worth noting , the LG model is wide screen.

There is something that is very debatable , the "blue light protection" thing marketed by these monitor brands for their PR .

I have heard countless claims on how great they are but in actual reality I find them more of a marketing gimmick . If you play games and watch movie for a long while, your eyes are still going to get strained regardless of the blue light reduction .

Of course that is not to completely disregard them , I just don't find them a very big deal . Not to mention you can always get a pair of gaming glasses if you truly believe in these. They should not be a primary factor for you when choosing monitors

thanks for the reply.

as for 1080p u mean greater than 24inch is not so beautiful the screen?
if i want to go for 27inch, do u have any other recommendation?

i did notice the lg is widescreen but i worry that some game or movie is not compatible and i think will give it a pass

as for the blue light protection, i somehow agree with your point.

Let's just say from a normal viewing distance (20-26 inches from screen ) , anything larger than 24 inches will reveal more details on the screen . But because of the lower pixel counts these extra details will be shown in more blurry form , compare to higher resolution . Which is why people tend to go for higher resolution for larger screen

For reference , the most comfortable size for viewing :

23-24-25 inches : FHD @ 1080p
27 inches : QHD @ 1440p
32 inches : UHD @ 2160P /4k

Of course this isn't a rule by all means , just a standard preference set by the monitor experts .


If you insist on sticking to 27 inches @ 1080p , Acer R271 is a good choice (60hz refresh rate , IPS )

If you want a higher refresh rate , consider the Viewsonic XG2701 (144 hz refresh rate ) but it also come with a higher price tag (1.5k ~)

i think its is similar with the samsung monitor i mentioned above but just 27inch

Similar to the 23 inches version , this is a VA panel monitor meaning it has pretty good contrast rating @ 1:3000


Again as many would have said , 27 inches may actually be a little too large for FHD . If you need to be reading a lot of fonts at this size , you will notice some clarity issues around the texts . But for casual gaming and other entertainment purposes , it is probably fine


P/S : Also come equipped with free-sync so if you have an AMD card you could benefit from it
