approximately 27-inch QHD OLED monitor strikes a perfect balance between immersive visual effects and efficient desktop management. This size is particularly ideal for FPS and RTS game enthusiasts, providing a high-quality visual experience without taking up too much desktop space.

 

Around 480Hz Refresh Rate Competitive Advantage – Unmatched Speed

Operating at a revolutionary approximately 480Hz refresh rate, the LG

UltraGear™ 27GX790A sets a new benchmark for speed in OLED gaming monitors. This exceptional refresh rate minimizes latency and enhances smooth transitions, ensuring a seamless gaming experience, especially suited for fast-paced FPS games. The monitor's ultra-fast approximately 0.03 ms response time further ensures precise timing in intense gaming, allowing players to quickly and accurately respond to every action.

 

Outstanding Brightness and Color Accuracy Presenting Amazing Visual Effects

Equipped with LG’s next-generation MLA+ technology, the LG UltraGear™ 27GX790A achieves a peak brightness of up to approximately 1300 nits, with SDR brightness increased by around 38% compared to traditional gaming monitors. Its VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 400 certification ensures the presentation of deeper blacks and sharper contrasts, elevating the visual experience to new heights. With an approximately 98.5% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, the gaming environment is vividly rendered, accurately capturing every detail from dynamic lighting effects to subtle textures, ensuring displayed colors meet expectations and present true details.

 

Latest DisplayPort 2.1 Connectivity Technology for a Seamless Gaming Experience

The LG UltraGear™ 27GX790A adopts the latest DisplayPort 2.1 technology, providing approximately 67% higher bandwidth than DP 1.4.
