LG unveils first 4th-gen UltraGear OLED monitor

LG has officially lifted the lid on its first gaming monitor to feature its next-generation panel technology, the UltraGear OLED 27GX700A. This new display is built around the company’s 4th Gen Primary RGB Tandem OLED screen, a technology that promises to push brightness levels higher than previous generations while also being more power-efficient.

At its heart, the UltraGear OLED 27GX700A (via Guru3D) is a 27-inch display with a 2560×1440 resolution. The headline feature, however, is its staggering peak brightness. LG claims the monitor can reach up to 1,500 nits, a significant 15% improvement over previous high-end gaming monitors. This is achieved while the panel itself runs around 20% more efficiently than older WOLED generations.

The monitor also boasts a 280 Hz refresh rate with a 0.03 ms GTG response time, ensuring fluid motion for competitive gaming (VESA ClearMR 13000). It also covers 99.5% of the DCI-P3 colour space, making it a great choice for both gaming and colour-critical work. To back up its HDR credentials, the display is certified for VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, which guarantees deep blacks and high contrast.
