LG 27BN88Q Ergo 27" QHD Monitor (2020)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
LG 27BN88Q Ergo is a mid-range 27-inch QHD monitor designed for business use. It is virtually indistinguishable from the 27QN880 marketed to consumers, which incidentally has a lower price. Both bear close resemblance to the 27GN880 marketed to gamers, too, though they lack the latter's high refresh rate and 10-bit panel.
The 27BN88Q uses a simple 8-bit IPS panel with a good 99% sRGB coverage. It refreshes at up to 75Hz and has a max brightness of 350 nits. Like other "ergonomic" models by LG, it comes with a highly adjustable monitor stand (marketed as "Ergo").
Compared to the aforementioned 27GN880, the 27BN88Q is only better in brightness. For most applications, as long as one is not disturbed by the "gamey" exterior deco of the gaming monitor, they should go with the GN model.
