That said, the 27GN850-B has some advantages that might make it a better option if you don't need a larger screen.

Requires a bit of calibration, every panel is slightly different so best way to calibrate is by using a calibration device. It's essentially a mounting arm that you attach to the edge of your desk, and it offers all kinds of ergonomic adjustments. The legs on both have red accents but the ones on the GN850 are more hidden since they're on the underside.The LG 32GN650-B/32GN63T-B and the LG 27GN850-B/27GN880-B are both good monitors overall, although they use different panel types with different advantages. However, they’re not overclockable to 160 Hz, and instead limited to 144 Hz, and their overall look is a little tackier.

But with a panel that looks as elegant as this, I feel the stand itself is a bit too aggressively styled. Clarified the differences between this monitor and its variant, the LG 27GN880-B, in the Variants section. Sadly, it's not a good choice for dark room gaming because of its low contrast ratio and poor black uniformity. On the other hand, the LG has much better out-of-the-box accuracy, so you may not need to get it calibrated.In terms of gaming, it's an improvement over the LG 27GL850-B/27GL83A-B, but if you need it for office use as well, it's lacking in ergonomics. They're supposedly calibrated from the factory but I've had to make a lot of tweaks to get them to look right. There are many various interfaces under the VESA standard, which differ in the size of the brackets, the distances between the screw holes and their number.
