Not sure but 27GN850 should do fine.
between 27GN850 and MAG274QRF-QD the msi is far better? it costs about 100€ more

I would go with MSI just because its more premium monitor and it has backlight strobing but 90% of people don't use strobing so you'll probably be fine with LG.
What other 1440p 27" monitors are available?

i can only find these:
LG 27GN850
GIGABYTE M27Q
MAG274QRF-QD
OMEN 27i

i need fast response possible for quite competitive gaming.. maybe not using strobing while i use adaptive sync/g-sync

I know M27Q has slower response times so avoid that one.
Omen 27i is very good, probably better than 27GN850. HP's Omen series monitors are known for extremely good response times and input lag. That would be a good buy if the price is reasonable. In my country these two monitors have the same price.

In my country the price are:

27GN850 420€
27i 500€
MAG274QRF-QD 530€

Which One? 🤣

Lol :D. Spend a few more days researching these 3 and watch reviews. After that you'll make a clearer decision and see what suits you better.

Yes that is also impressive monitor, Hardware Unboxed reviewed it. I listed 27GP for you in recommendations earlier today.
There are 27GP850 (2021), 27GN850 (2020) and 27GL850 (2019), watch out for the names when buying :) .
