At present, the display on the market has also seen a diving price reduction due to the decline in panel costs, and players can experience the e-sports screen experience that can only be owned by three or four thousand yuan for about a thousand yuan. Of course, behind the price reduction, it reflects the involution between various panels and display manufacturers, traditional panel manufacturers such as AUO, Innolux needless to say, even LG will provide its own Nano IPS to other display manufacturers, can account for a little.
In this way, some domestic display manufacturers can also get LG's high-quality panels to improve the picture quality of the displays they sell. For example, there are many displays on the market that claim to use LG's original NanoIPS backlight module, take the recently sold HKC Aegis MG27Q as an example, the 618 activity price is only 1499, supporting 2K + 180Hz, which can be said to be quite affordable. Then we also found that LG also has a Nano IPS product promotion price reduced to 1699, becoming the cheapest Nano IPS product of the LG brand, but still 200 yuan more expensive than HKC.
HKC Aegis MG27Q
LG 27GP83B
This naturally arouses our interest, both sides use LG original NanoIPS backlight module, but HKC Aegis MG27Q is the 2nd generation, LG 27GP83B is the 3rd generation, but look at the parameters and seem to be MG27Q ahead, so what is the actual performance, the difference of 200 yuan is more suitable for who to choose? Just read on.
appearance
The positioning of the two monitors is a gaming screen, and naturally it also adopts a relatively "combat style" appearance design. From the first glance, the "battle wind" of the 27GP83B will be a little more intense, while the Aegis MG27Q is relatively rounded.
Next is the base design that many monitors can't avoid, 27GP83B uses the mainstream bipod design, this kind of base is recognized as a problem is to occupy the position, but compared with previous LG products, this generation of the base has been shortened design, relatively speaking, it will not occupy too much desktop space.
However, compared to the Aegis MG27Q, the practicality is far less than the latter, although the hexagonal base of the Aegis MG27Q is not so cool, but it obviously occupies a smaller position.
Looking at the back, 27GP83B still continues this "combat style" to the back, not only has a hollow design on the back, but also matches the "stout" bracket, it seems that the style of the entire monitor is very tough. In contrast, Aegis MG27Q appears a lot slimmer, and the e-sports wind is there, but not so strong. In terms of actual experience, Aegis MG27Q will be much more flexible than 27GP83B, and the compact base and bracket not only occupy a small area, but also make it easier to adjust the position.
Speaking of adjustment, 27GP83B has a place that I am more disgusted with, that is, the bracket is not adjustable in all directions, lacking the function of rotating left and right, I think since they have achieved this price and this positioning, don't save these details.
Aegis MG27Q is stable and supports omnidirectional adjustment.
In terms of the connection method of the interface, the two displays also have a relatively large difference, 27GP83B put the interface part on the right side of the back, the connection operation is more intuitive, and Aegis MG27Q maintains the tradition, placed at the bottom, each has its own good and bad.
In terms of body interface specifications, 27GP83B will be more than Aegis MG27Q, the former with two HDMI 2.0, two USB 3.2 Gen1, DP 1.4 and headphone ports, Aegis MG27Q is not equipped with USB ports, and only two HDMI 2.0 and one DP, the interface is relatively small, which is a little regrettable, but office and play games are enough.
Brighten screen effect
The first feeling I had after lighting up the screen was that the saturation on the LG side would be a little higher, which was very in line with my impression of LG products.
When adjusting the OSD menu, adjust the brightness of the two monitors to the maximum, you can find some clues, you can feel that the brightness of 27GP83B will not be as bright as Aegis MG27Q, and it will feel more obvious when watching HDR content, and it can be seen from the HDR part of the official promotion of the two that Aegis MG27Q is HDR 400 certified, while 27GP83B is only HDR 10.
In terms of refresh rate, Aegis MG27Q can be increased from 165Hz to 180Hz through overclocking, and the smoothness will be slightly improved, while the 27GP83B does not support overclocking and can only be maintained at 165Hz.
Actual experience
LG 27GP83B actually experienced, feel that the original color tuning will be too bright, did not say, is the Nano IPS screen high P3 color gamut coverage of the color management problem, the red of the screen is still red to shiny, although this can provide a more vivid color discrimination effect when gaming, but in fact it is not very suitable for daily use in other places.
HKC Aegis MG27Q color performance will be more balanced, tested games, movies and daily office, there is no color too vivid or color cast, suitable for daily use in various application scenarios.
In terms of gaming, the gaming performance of both monitors is relatively good, there is no obvious smear and non-follow-up, and as for the fact that the response time of the third-generation Nano IPS is faster than that of the second-generation Nano IPS screen, I did not feel it in my use.
summary
In my personal evaluation, although the overall performance of LG 27GP83B is slightly inferior to Aegis MG27Q, after all, it is LG's foundation, so it is not too bad.
Measured down, the quality of the Aegis MG27Q panel will be closer to the 27GP850, which is a higher model than the 27GP83B monitor tested this time. But at the same price, even if the 27GP83B is 200 yuan more expensive than the Aegis MG27Q, the former is not as good as the latter, which is very telling. It shows that after obtaining the display panel provided by a large manufacturer such as LG, domestic display manufacturers are still striving for excellence, constantly optimizing and adjusting, and using a more cost-effective form to give users a better visual experience. LG, on the other hand, is a bit old, flaunting a "3rd generation" panel, but the actual performance is "reversed", which is really embarrassing.
Approaching 618, this article is also hoping that some "brainless superstition" parameters or foreign manufacturers halo friends sober up, in the face of the "inner roll" of domestic display manufacturers, foreign manufacturers like to sell products under the banner of the original factory, and even slightly reduce the price to make you feel cost-effective, in the current domestic manufacturing and debugging capabilities are so excellent, choosing domestic products is a more secure existence.
