LG has just unveiled the UltraGear 27GX790A, its latest addition tailored for the discerning needs of professional and enthusiast gamers. This cutting-edge monitor showcases LG’s first 1440p OLED screen with a dazzling 480Hz refresh rate, complete with DisplayHDR support, making it a remarkable offering in the gaming world.
LG has just hit the market with the UltraGear 27GX790A OLED gaming monitor, now ready for pre-order at $999.99. Designed with the latest tech features, this monitor comes equipped with a 27-inch OLED panel boasting a resolution of 2560 x 1440p. Gamers will be thrilled with its ultrafast response time of a mere 0.03ms, ensuring smooth gameplay without any hiccups.
News from ITHome indicates the monitor will launch globally in early January 2025. Gamers will appreciate its ultra-thin bezels, which provide a truly immersive experience, paired with a sturdy stand that keeps any wobbling at bay. The GX7 is built for breathtaking visuals, thanks to its impressive contrast ratio of 1.5 million:1 and DisplayHDR True Black 400 support.
The design doesn’t skimp on practicality, either. With a typical brightness level of 275 nits, and anti-glare and low-reflection capabilities, the screen is kinder on the eyes. Its slim profile is complemented by an ergonomic stand, allowing a range of adjustments including height and swivel options.
Practicality is underscored by the flat base and the built-in cable management options. While LG is keeping some details under wraps, this release is poised to be a strong contender against the likes of Sony’s InZone M10S monitor, which comes with a $1,100 price tag. Although Sony’s display includes dual modes justifying its higher cost, LG’s robust portfolio for gamers keeps it ahead.
LG’s other flagship offering is the UltraGear 32GS95UE-B, a beast featuring a 32-inch screen, supports dual modes: 4K at 240Hz and FHD at 480Hz, priced at $1,400. For those considering a balance between top-tier specs and price, the GX7 presents itself as a compelling option, considerably cheaper by $400.
Although pre-orders are open for U.S. customers, the start of the shipping schedule remains uncertain, and the option to add the monitor to the shopping cart is presently unavailable.
