LG has a new 480Hz OLED gaming monitor
LG took the wraps off its latest OLED gaming monitor – the 27GX790A UltraGear. This is a 27-inch WOLED (White OLED) display with QHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440) and a record-setting 480Hz refresh rate – the fastest refresh rate on a QHD OLED monitor to date.
Alongside the record refresh rate, LG’s latest gaming monitor features the company Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating, which delivers great viewing angles. LG is promising up to 1,300 nits peak brightness and 98.5% DCI-P3 color spectrum coverage.
The new monitor supports Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro with a 0.03ms rated response time.
I/O includes 1x DisplayPort 2.1, 2x HDMI 2.1, USB 3.0 (1 upstream, 2 downstream) and a headphone out (DTS Headphone:X). You also get a height-adjustable stand that can tilt up to 15 degrees and swivel at up to 30 degrees.
LG 27GX790A UltraGear is priced at $1,000 with pre-orders scheduled to begin shipping in late December.
