LC-Power M27UO Review (4K/240Hz QD-OLED)

Rating: 7.0.

LC-Power has only been making gaming monitors since 2019 and the company launched its first OLED offerings earlier this year. Today we're assessing the 27in model, utilising the same 4K/240Hz Samsung QD-OLED panel as MSI's 272URX and AOC's AG276UZD. It promises up to 1000 nits peak brightness, infinite contrast and near-instant response times, all at the attractive price of just £669 here in the UK. Let's find out if it's worth buying.

On the topic of pricing and availability, so far I've only found the LC-Power M27UO listed on Amazon, but the £669 asking price makes it £30 cheaper than both the AOC AG276UZD and MSI 272URX, though the latter appears to be a temporary deal and the £999 MSRP is significantly more expensive. Still, it goes to show just how competitive the OLED market has become, so let's take a look and see what the M27UO can bring to the party.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
