About this deal

Next, the monitor has a wide 98.5% DCI-P3 gamut coverage, resulting in rich and vibrant colors. This is equivalent to around 135% sRGB gamut size, so content made with sRGB color space in mind will be over-saturated. Some users prefer the extra vibrancy provided by the over-saturation, but you can also clamp the gamut down to ~100% sRGB in case you prefer accuracy. Class 1)Less than 8.33ms – the equivalent to 1 frame lag of a display at 120Hz refresh rate – should be fine for gamers, even at high levels Related content: our video guide to the best settings for the LG 27GR95QE Calibration (Software Profiling)

Clarified text in Compared To Other Monitors to specify that the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF offers better picture quality for a slightly higher cost. Doom Eternal is an extremely fast-paced game that can push your reflexes to the max. I can’t say this monitor made me play better, but it certainly didn’t hinder me. No matter how much was happening on the screen or how fast I was moving, the UltraGear 27GR95QE-B never stuttered. Zipping across New York City in Marvel’s Spider-Man for PC was also seamless and smooth. LG UltraGear OLED 27 review: Interface Competitive gamers might also consider the ASUS PG27AQN with a 27″ 1440p 360Hz IPS panel. Due to its 360Hz refresh rate, it offers a bit lower input lag and smoother motion clarity, but the motion is not as clear and you don’t get proper HDR support. Conclusion As long as you let these features operate as intended and don’t leave the screen showing bright static elements for a long time, the LG 27GR95QE shouldn’t burn-in. Features

The motion clarity of the 240Hz OLED panel easily surpasses the lower refresh rate OLED panels, unsurprisingly. And in practice it also looked better and clearer than the 360Hz IPS panel! Because of the super-fast near-instance response times of OLED technology, the motion clarity of an OLED is generally equivalent to an LCD with a 1.5 – 1.7x higher refresh rate. And that’s on the assumption that the LCD is a “good” one, with low overshoot and reliably fast response times that can keep up with the frame rate of the screen. So a 240Hz OLED should offer the same kind of motion clarity as a good 360Hz – 408Hz LCD screen. In the example above, the 360Hz IPS panel shows some overshoot errors and so doesn’t look as good as the 240Hz OLED. Due to the RWBG subpixel layout, all four pixels are never on at the same time. You can see additional photos of the pixels below: The stand is relatively compact and shouldn’t take much space on a desktop (it’s as big as any other 27” monitor). It offers decent ergonomics, with -5 - 15 degree tilt, -10 - 10 degree swivel, and 110mm of height adjustment. The display is also able to pivot to a portrait position, but if you are planning to use this as your secondary display for Twitch chats, we need to talk about your spending habits. The screen has a decent range of ergonomic adjustments with tilt, height, swivel and also rotate available. They are all pretty stiff to operate though which makes changing the viewing angle a pain sometimes. Side to side swivel adjustment also has a pretty limited range, but overall the screen is very sturdy and stable. The fringing is not as noticeable as it is on monitors with a triangular subpixel layout, such as that of the Dell AW3423DWF with a QD-OLED panel, so except for those particularly sensitive to this, most users won’t even notice anything wrong with text rendering on the LG 27GR95QE unless looking at small text and fine details up close.

For those who want to use the full wide gamut of the screen, we also experimented to see what the best we could get out of the screen was, with only simple OSD adjustments. This should, if nothing else, allow us to correct the overly cool default colour temp, and from there improve greyscale and colour accuracy somewhat.The LG UltraGear 27GR95QE will be available in the UAE sometime in April. The monitor will retail at AED 4,199. The Verdict Note: we turned off “Smart Energy Saving” from the OSD menu which could otherwise impact screen brightness. The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. With over a week of screen time with LG’s new 27” OLED monitor, I can confidently say that this is a stellar product, and absolutely is the upgrade one should consider. Of course, OLED panels do come with one major caveat, and that is the less than average standard brightness, which could struggle in showing bright images under well-lit conditions.

A lot of users would have preferred a 4K resolution at this screen size for an even high pixel density and sharper details, but we find that 1440p suits ~27″ sized screens very well. Besides, 4K UHD is a lot more demanding than 1440p, so you wouldn’t be able to maintain as high frame rate. The 27GR95QE features a more traditional monitor-like matte anti-glare coating, as opposed to a glossy panel coating like you’d find on popular OLED TV’s including the LG 42C2. This seems to be the panel coating of choice for OLED screens aimed at desktop use, and it makes sense when you think about the typical use cases for desktop monitors compared with TV’s, and the fact that this type of panel coating has been used for many years in the LCD market. Reflection handling DTS Headphones:X: Supports DTS and DTS:X audio passthrough for your headphones. It only works with the 3.5mm audio output and not the Optical Audio output. There are three modes for this: Sports, Entertainment, and Game.With some simple adjustments to the brightness control, contrast and RGB balance, we had achieved a significantly better result in the ‘Gamer 1’ mode. The main benefit was that we’d corrected the RGB balance, and now had a pretty consistent greyscale colour temp, and a white point very close to our target at 6553K. The screen no longer looked bluish, and this in turn improved the greyscale accuracy hugely, now down to dE 1.4 average. Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²).

Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. The LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B's menu only has a handful of basic options. (Image credit: Tom's Guide) You can see some pursuit camera photos above capturing real world perceived motion clarity of this 240Hz OLED panel compared with the 138Hz Asus PG42UQ, the 120Hz LG 42C2 and even the fastest refresh rate monitor we’ve had chance to test – the Asus ROG Swift PG259QN with a 360Hz refresh rate IPS panel. We’d argue that reflections on glossy panel are likely to be far more problematic to most people than a small impact to the contrast ratio from an AG coating for what is at the end of the day specifically designed to be a desktop monitor. Remember, this isn’t designed to be a TV, it’s not designed to be used in a dark lounge with carefully controlled lighting for relaxing night time viewing. It’s designed to be used as your desktop monitor, throughout the day, in a normal lighting setup where you have windows, overhead lighting and lamps around.Another big advantage of OLED technology is exceptional image consistency thanks to the 178° wide viewing angles. The image remains flawless regardless of the angle you’re looking at it. The 27GR95QE-B is a 26.5″ sized screen (27″ class) with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. There’s a 0.03ms G2G response time spec listed, a 1.5 million:1 contrast ratio and 178/178 viewing angles. SDR and HDR brightness specs are not yet available and are marked as “TBC”. There’s a wide colour gamut as well with 98.5% DCI-P3 coverage quoted, along with a 1.07b colour depth.
