LG Unveils Enthusiast-Level UltraGear 27GX790A 480Hz OLED Gaming Monitor Priced at $1000

In a bold move for the gaming world, LG has unveiled its latest creation, the UltraGear 27GX790A. This new monitor, designed with both professional and enthusiast gamers in mind, comes equipped with a top-of-the-line OLED panel. Offering a vibrant 27-inch display, it packs a punch with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p and an impressively quick response time of just 0.03ms.

According to ITHome, gamers can expect to see the UltraGear 27GX790A hit the market by early January 2025, available for purchase internationally. What sets this monitor apart are its almost invisible bezels, creating an immersive gaming experience, along with a robust stand to ensure stability during intense gaming sessions. With a high contrast ratio of 1.5 million to one and DisplayHDR True Black 400, the visuals are nothing short of spectacular.

For those concerned about eye strain, the monitor’s brightness sits at a comfortable 275 nits and is equipped with anti-glare and low reflection features to protect your eyes. The slim, stylish design of this monitor isn’t just about looks; it boasts an ergonomic stand that allows for height adjustments and swivels effortlessly, adapting to any gaming setup.

On the practical side, the flat base of the stand includes a handy routing hole for managing cables neatly. While LG hasn’t divulged extensive specifics yet, this new model appears to be a strong contender against Sony’s InZone M10S monitor. With similar specs, Sony’s offering is priced at $1100, slightly more expensive due to its dual modes. Nevertheless, LG continues to dominate with a broader array of gaming displays in its lineup.

In comparison, LG’s higher-end OLED gaming monitor, the UltraGear 32GS95UE-B, features a 32-inch display with impressive modes of 4K at 240Hz and FHD at 480Hz, priced at $1400. For gamers looking for something more balanced between these modes, the GX7 offers a compelling option at $400 less.

Although LG is now taking pre-orders in the U.S., there’s still no word on the shipping date or when customers can expect to see the “add to cart” option go live.

So, if you’re considering an upgrade to your gaming setup, the UltraGear 27GX790A could well be worth watching, a new contender in the lineup aiming to redefine the gaming experience.
