LG UltraGear OLED 27GR95QE 27"

Overview

The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great.

If you can get away with spending $1,000 on a monitor that you'll love for gaming but probably not so much for work, then the 27-inch LG UltraGear OLED will probably tickle your eyeballs. But if it needs to multitask while it takes up space on your desk, you may need to put a little more thought into the purchase.

The LG 27GR95QE-B is incredible for gaming. It offers a high 240Hz refresh rate with FreeSync VRR support and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing. It also has low input lag for a responsive feel, and motion looks incredible thanks to its near-instantaneous response time, but it has some inverse ghosting due to overshoot. Luckily, it's a great choice for dark room gaming as it displays perfect blacks without any blooming.

The LG 27GR95QE-B is a fantastic gaming monitor based on its test results and specifications. Its unique OLED panel is fast and vibrant and capable of brilliant HDR performance, even when compared to its mini-LED counterparts. We like its design and added features, plus it’s not stupendously expensive like we feared it would be.
