Comparing performance for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 · Scoring: 45% CPU / 40% GPU weighted

LG 27GP850-B 27-Inch QHD Nano IPS Gaming Monitor vs LG 32UQ850-W 32-Inch 4K UHD IPS USB-C Monitor for MSFS: 165Hz vs 4K resolution trade-off.

The 32UQ850-W scores 62.4/100 against the 27GP850-B's 59.9/100 — a 2.5-point gap that is functionally marginal and won't register in day-to-day sim sessions. The 27GP850-B's 165Hz refresh rate gives it a clear edge during high-speed VFR cross-country legs and busy multiplayer sessions at KJFK, where smooth frame delivery matters more than pixel density. The 32UQ850-W earns its score through native 4K on a 32-inch panel, making photogrammetry zones like central London or Manhattan noticeably sharper during slow VR city flyovers and dense EGLL approaches where cockpit texture detail is the bottleneck.

LG 27GP850-B 27-Inch QHD Nano IPS Gaming Monitor

Choose LG 27GP850-B 27-Inch QHD Nano IPS Gaming Monitor if you prioritize high-refresh fluidity during fast maneuvering, online multiplayer sessions, or VFR legs where frame timing consistency at 1440p outweighs raw pixel count.

LG 32UQ850-W 32-Inch 4K UHD IPS USB-C Monitor

Choose LG 32UQ850-W 32-Inch 4K UHD IPS USB-C Monitor if you fly slower procedural approaches into photogrammetry-heavy airports like EGLL or KSFO and want maximum pixel density across a larger 32-inch panel at a mid-range price tier.

Our take:

The score gap is marginal; go with the 27GP850-B at its lower price tier if your GPU can't sustain 4K in MSFS, or step up to the 32UQ850-W only if you're running a GPU capable of holding solid frame rates through photogrammetry zones.
