What's your budget and do you have normal room illumination or prefer darkened room?

Though MSI G273QF has really nice contrast for IPS.
MSI OPTIX 27" G273QF 2560x1440 IPS 165Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync Widescreen LED Backlit Gaming Monitor= £348.95
Weakest point is stand having barely any adjustments.

While having top level response times that LG's (first gen?) 2560x1440 Nano-IPS has garbage for contrast and is super bad choise for darker room.
AU Optronics panel of that MSI has nearing 50% higher contrast.

Is the LG27GP850 a lot better then? Is it LG latest monitor?

It's same low contrast panel with some more hertzes for annual update.
You need to go for 4K 27GP950, if you want proper contrast Nano-IPS from LG.
