Back in November, LG introduced its new 27-inch OLED gaming monitor called the LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B. The brand claims it to be the world’s first 2K 240Hz OLED gaming monitor, and the hype surrounding it is quite real. I mean who wouldn’t want to game on such a snappy OLED panel? More than two months after its announcement, the monitor is finally getting ready to hit the UK market as pre-orders for it go live.
The UltraGear 27GR95QE is priced at
£998.99 including taxes, and is currently available for pre-order at
Overclockers UK, though no release date has been confirmed. LG has not yet
listed the gaming monitor on its website, suggesting that pre-orders won’t
start shipping for a few more weeks. Let’s check out its specifications and
features in more detail.
The LG UltraGear gaming monitor boasts a
27-inch OLED display with 98.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut and an
impressive contrast ratio of 1.5 million to 1. As mentioned above, this is a
1440p resolution OLED monitor with 240Hz refresh rate. In addition to that, the
monitor has a snappy 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time.
It is compatible with AMD FreeSync and
Nvidia G-Sync, but without hardware acceleration. The monitor features an
adjustable stand that can be raised up to 11cm, with a 20-degree swivel
capability in both horizontal and vertical directions.
The LG device is equipped with two HDMI
2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a digital optical audio
port, and two USB 3.0 downstream ports along with one upstream port. Despite
its minimalist design, it still showcases gaming-oriented features, such as the
RGB LED lights at the back.
