LG INTRODUCES WORLD’S FIRST 4K IPS 1MS GTG
MONITOR FOR UNSURPASSED GAMING
Uncompromising and Bold, New UltraGear Model Has It All: 4K Resolution,
Lightning Speed, Superior Color Reproduction and NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ Compatibility
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., July 21, 2020 — LG Electronics is bringing new meaning to immersive gaming with the launch of the latest addition to the critically-acclaimed LG UltraGear™ lineup, the world’s first 4K IPS 1 millisecond Gray-to-Gray (GTG)1 gaming monitor. The LG UltraGear 27GN950 will debut in the U.S. next month at LG-authorized dealers and on LG.com. Specific U.S. pricing and availability details will be announced at a later date.
A 2020 CES Innovation Award and Red Dot Design Award winner, the 27-inch model more than lives up to UltraGear’s name and reputation for gaming excellence and is a worthy successor to the brand’s first 1ms GTG IPS gaming monitor (model 27GL850) introduced last year. Featuring advanced IPS displays, LG UltraGear monitors achieve stunning speed without compromising picture quality, contributing to the brand being named the top gaming-designed monitor in the United States.2
The new UltraGear monitor builds on the fast, accurate colors of its predecessor to deliver 4K resolution for maximum gaming impact. A combination of speed, high resolution and 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space 3 gives gamers a total sense of immersion. And thanks to VESA® Display Stream Compression (DSC) technology, the 27GN950 can deliver virtually lossless 4K UHD images in 10-bit color with a 144Hz refresh rate via just a single DisplayPort cable.4
LG’s one-of-a-kind monitor supports hardware calibration enabling the company’s proprietary Nano IPS display to offer the most precise color reproduction possible. And with VESA DisplayHDR™ 600 certification,5 the UltraGear 27GN950 guarantees a certain level of quality in the form of outstanding color accuracy, dynamic contrast, high luminance and a wide color gamut. NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and support for HDR ensures enhanced image quality with reduced screen tearing and minimized stutter that works seamlessly with VESA DSC for an incredibly realistic and exhilarating gaming experience.
LG’s new UltraGear is the ideal all-in-one solution for those who livestream their gaming sessions thanks to its expansive 4K-resolution screen. The generously proportioned display can also be a big advantage for creative professionals when editing high-resolution files or accessing multiple applications simultaneously. What’s more, support for 10-bit color depth and hardware calibration gives the monitor the level of color accuracy needed for professional-level video production work.
The 27GN950 will be the first LG UltraGear monitor to sport the new “wings” emblem designed specifically with victory in gaming in mind.
