About this deal
With that said, almost nobody will notice any difference between the two here – they are some of the best around.
Most of the specifications are the same as 27GN850-B, except for that monitor, LG lists a DCI-P3 color gamut (98 percent) rating rather than sRGB.

The 27GN800-B is another LG monitor to feature an IPS panel, just like the 27GN850-B that came before it. Some variation is expected between units, but numbers this far below advertising speak to a larger issue with the panel. The 27GN850-B faired slightly better in testing at 852:1, but still may not be enough for some users. Two of their most popular models are the 27GL850-B and 27GN850-B – 1440p IPS panel monitors with a variety of features to boot.This is especially true given the higher 1440p resolution, where it is harder to hit consistent high frames per second. Both are equipped with a fast screen and offer similar specifications across the board, but the new 27GN800-B is actually a little different (and hopefully ends up a little bit cheaper to boot). IPS panels have traditionally struggled with contrast, and LG clearly focused on other specs of this screen.
