27GX790A-B 27-inch Ultragear OLED Gaming Monitor QHD 1440p 480Hz, 0.03ms, DisplayPort 2.1, True Black 400, NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, HDMI, USB, Tilt/Height/Swivel/Pivot Stand, Black

Excellent for fast paced gaming

Obviously this is a beast, 32-inch, 4k @ 240hz with an option for 1080p @ 480hz, all at 0.03ms response time is elite for any type of gaming. But the thing thats different about this one in comparison to other similarly-spec'd monitors is that it is a WOLED panel with a matte finish. I urge you to look up the differences between WOLED and QD-OLED panels and matte vs glossy finish before buying, but in my opinion I absolutely LOVE this combination, this WOLED has none of the purplish tone that many QD ones have and in my opinion it still gets plenty bright and the color accuracy is great, also text seems to render clearer on WOLED which is a big plus for people who also look for that "everything monitor" (games, media and productivity), also the matte finish helps it look much more consistent and easier on the eyes across different lighting - albeit with a bit of a "grainy" look which is a bit visible in white spots (for me it is has not been a problem, and it is completely undetectable during gaming). Ill also note that for me a big selling point of this edition over its predecessor is that it can charge a laptop connected through usb-c (and it seems like this option still supports full 4k 240hz on my Macbook m4 pro, which is insane). Full price is a bit too high, but it seems to be on sale regularly (mine was 870 instead of 1300), so try to get it on sale.

Great monitor. Refresh rate 480Hz works as advertised. OLED blacks very deep. Colours need some tuning out of the box but are beautiful once calibrated. G-sync works great. Minor VRR flicking but only occurs in a few situations and never during actual gameplay, usually just in menu screens. Very easy setup. Stand works amazing and is sturdy.

Overall, this display is absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend that anyone considering it understand the differences between QD-OLED (Samsung panels; most OLED monitors) and W-OLED (LG) panels. It is also worth learning about the differences between matte and glossy coatings and how they affect the image. The build quality is great; the stand goes together very easily and is extremely solid. It also offers a wide range of height and tilt adjustment. The light on the rear of the housing is a nice touch and has a good selection of colors. Since this is a W-OLED display, the blacks remain perfectly dark even in a bright room. Colors are as good as you'd expect. When the unit first powers on, expect to see some mild to moderate unevenness in the brightness of the image. My unit had some vertical banding which disappeared after a few hours of normal use and an image cleaning cycle. Do not worry if you see something similar on yours! It goes away quickly. Also, there is no discernible text fringing at all. Text does appear somewhat soft, but disabling ClearType in Windows completely fixes this. The image is plenty bright, and HDR content looks great. You can adjust the peak brightness in the settings, so if it seems dim then try that. It is definitely not as bright as a QD-OLED panel, but the perfect blacks make up for this. Keep in mind that bright elements that take up large parts of the screen will cause global dimming. This is normal behavior. The only complaint I have is that the matte coating is somewhat grainy. It is barely discernible at normal viewing distances, and with dynamic content it's even harder to spot; it is most noticeable on static bright pages. Use dark mode whenever you can (which is also good practice for OLED panels generally). For me, the lack of distracting reflections is well worth it. Consider your options carefully when picking an OLED display. There are trade-offs no matter what you choose. If you're looking for a 4K display with a fantastic refresh rate (and 480hz at 1080p!), and you know that the downsides won't be an issue for you, then this is one of your best options.

- Color accuracy: Respectable, great even. Slightly off compared to my production grade monitor, but just as they were advertised! Bravo! - Peak nits: Fantastic, these are the best nits. Everybody knows it. - Refresh rates: So fast you can't even see them. (240hz@4K - 480@1080p - SILKY SMOOTH!!!) - Response time: Not haunted. No ghosts here. - Pixels: There's a lot of them, trust me. Kept losing count otherwise I'd tell you. - Features: One firmware update away from perfection. Pictured is the difference between an LG 27GN950 (left, a 4K edge-lit IPS) and this monitor (right, a 4K MLA OLED). LOOK AT THOSE BLACKS!!! Left is Task Manager on a completely black background, right is a movie during a scene showing complete blacks. Having never owned an OLED before, I couldn't be happier with the decision to go with this monitor. The matte finish obliterates all but the brightest ambient light you would typically throw at it, maintaining excellent blacks and punchy colors. If you're on the fence, just DO IT!

First time I ordered this I got a big green line after a day. So I returned the first one, and bought it again. The one I received has a dead green pixel. LG has horrible qc and durability.
