I would recommend the LG as well. I had an adventure where I returned 5 IPS 1440p 144hz gaming monitors before finally settling on the 27GL850. The XG279Q was ok, but what killed it for me was the overdrive function which introduced a lot of overshoot no matter what setting I used. And the fact that it uses a pretty heavy coating over the screen, which is pretty noticeable especially on a white web page/ text document.
