LG Electronics (LG) has unveiled its latest premium gaming monitor, the UltraGear⢠OLED GX7 (model 27GX790A). Targeted at serious gamers, this 27-inch marvel boasts a QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution WOLED display, setting a new benchmark with its incredibly fast 480Hz refresh rate â the highest available on a QHD OLED monitor. This makes it the fastest and most compact UltraGear OLED monitor to date, promising exceptional picture quality and silky-smooth performance.
The GX7's core strength lies in its WOLED (White OLED) technology. Unlike traditional OLEDs, the WOLED panel utilises a white OLED light source with colour filters, resulting in accurate RGB colours and impressive brightness. This translates to a high contrast ratio, vibrant colours, deep blacks, and exceptional motion clarity â crucial for fast-paced gaming scenarios. This superior image quality has earned the monitor both VESA DisplayHDR⢠True Black 400 certification and the highest VESA ClearMR tier, validating its performance.
Further enhancing the gaming experience, the 27GX790A offers compatibility with NVIDIA G-SYNC® and AMD FreeSync⢠Premium Pro. These technologies effectively minimise screen tearing and stuttering, ensuring a smoother, more immersive gaming session. LG's Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) Coating further improves usability, reducing eye strain in brighter environments.
Connectivity is another key feature. The monitor features both DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 interfaces, ensuring compatibility with the latest gaming PCs, consoles, and the next generation of GPUs expected in early 2025. The inclusion of DisplayPort 2.1 is particularly significant, offering a 67 percent bandwidth increase over DisplayPort 1.4, enabling support for higher resolutions and refresh rates.
The design of the monitor is equally well-considered. Its slim, flat L-shaped stand allows for convenient keyboard placement, while also offering ergonomic adjustability, including a -30 to +30-degree swivel range. A 4-pole headphone jack with support for DTS Headphone:X enhances the audio experience, providing accurate spatial audio cues that can be vital in competitive gaming titles.
YS Lee, Vice President and Head of the IT business unit at LG Business Solutions Company, commented: âAn ideal choice for serious gamers, the 27GX790A boasts a 27-inch OLED screen with an exceptionally fast 480Hz refresh rate. Our new UltraGear OLED gaming monitor is perfect for both console and PC gaming, offering a range of connectivity options and compatibility with the latest gaming hardware. The LG UltraGear brand will continue to provide high-performance monitors that enhance every aspect of the gaming experience.â
