LG reveals 27-inch 1440p OLED monitor with 480Hz refresh rate

LG just revealed its fastest OLED gaming monitor yet. The UltraGear GX7 — specifically, model 27GX790A — is equipped with a 480Hz panel, allowing it to display visual content at up to 480FPS without any dropped frames. That is, of course, assuming it’s used in conjunction with a PC that’s capable of delivering such frame rates.

The new UltraGear GX7 is a gamer’s dream, with 27-inch diagonal size, a resolution of 2560×1440, and a response time of 0.03ms. It’s fully compatible with Nvidia’s G-Sync and AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro technologies, and it’s VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified.

Connectivity isn’t the greatest, but it isn’t bad. You’ll find that it has one DisplayPort 2.1 port, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB 3.0 port, and a headphone port. The monitor also comes with a stand that can be raised, lowered, rotated to 30 degrees, and tilted to 15 degrees.

The UltraGear 27GX790A is available for pre-order at a price of $999.99, which is reasonably in line with other 27-inch 1440p OLED monitors with 480Hz of refresh. It’s not yet known when pre-orders will ship.
