Boasting advanced IPS displays, the 27-inch monitor pledges stunning speed without compromising picture quality – contributing to LG’s claim as one of the top gaming monitor makers in the United States.

The product claims to be a one-of-a-kind monitor, supporting hardware calibration by enabling LG’s proprietary Nano IPS display for immensely precise colour reproduction. With VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification, the new UltraGear gaming monitor is also NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible, and offers enhanced image quality with reduced screen tearing. “We are excited to bring NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible support to LG’s most advanced UltraGear model yet,” states Kaustubh Sanghani, vice president and general manager, GeForce OEM at NVIDIA. “Gamers will be blown away by the responsiveness and the lifelike visuals when playing the latest PC games that feature real-time ray-tracing powered by GeForce technology.” The monitor is marketed as the ultimate all-in-one solution for users who livestream their gaming sessions, due to an expansive 4K resolution screen and next-gen components. The device is also suited for creative professionals who seeks to edit multiple high-resolution files, across many applications simultaneously. With support for 10-bit colour depth and hardware calibration, the monitor offers strong color accuracy for professional-level video production. “UltraGear monitors will continue to push the boundaries of monitor technology, leveraging our advanced IPS 1ms GTG display technology to take gaming to even greater heights,” states said Jang Ik-hwan, senior VP and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company.

It will be interesting to see the price but kind of wish it was bigger then only 27". If it made the jump to 32" it would be a great option. I mean even at 27" it's looking great for specs.

How is this a world's first? Flat out lie. Acer put out the Predator X27 in September 2019 - a 27" 144Hz 4K gaming monitor which has NVidia G-Sync Ultimate (not just compatible like LG), 99% Adobe RGB etc.. Basic specs [ link] are similar to this new LG monitor. Response time on the Acer monitor is 4ms, whereas LG claims 1ms, but it is well known that the LG 1ms mode is pretty much a gimmick and leads to inverse ghosting in gaming, and the playable 'standard' speed of ~5ms is where the LG monitors are playable without issues, so really no difference from everyone else. "World's first", my butt.. FAKE NEWS lol

While I agree it's not the world's first as I currently have the Asus version and there's an Acer out there, the 4K 144hz with full HDR isn't possible with the current connections. I have to cap mine at 98Hz for all the bells and whistles so I wonder if this is the same here.

T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G
