About this deal

Next to the joystick, there’s a also a small wheel which you can use to change the brightness and effects of the RGB lighting at the back of the monitor. We carried out our testing using a brand new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card, that supports DSC. IPS technology: The latest IPS technology is built-in to our monitors that allows clear viewing from virtually any angle, as well as a screen splitter technology that allows for easy multitasking. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases.

HDR content has also received a noticeable bump with an improved peak brightness of 600-nits, up from 400, and 16 local dimming zones, earning it DisplayHDR 600 certification.The below uniformity diagram shows the difference, as a percentage, between the measurement recorded at each point on the screen, as compared with the central reference point. The brightness regulation is controlled without the need for the use of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), and so those who suffer from eye fatigue or headaches associated with flickering backlights need not worry.

For these tests we will plot the average G2G figure at a range of measured refresh rates, while operating at the optimal overdrive control.There’s no 1:1 pixel mapping mode for those who like to use that, The back of the screen is encased in a matte black plastic for a simple design and in keeping with other recently tested LG screens. I wish it had a few more gaming features, but there’s no mistaking that this monitor is an absolute winner. The contrast ratio was improved a bit but remained very close to the default setup and the manufacturers spec of 1000:1. Thanks to the new firmware the sRGB emulation mode now correctly restricted the colour space, covering 99.

In the menu, you’ll find various pre-calibrated picture modes including FPS, RTS, sRGB, Reader, two customizable Gamer profiles, and two Calibration profiles for the True Color Pro software. The higher refresh rates supported by the screen helped improve motion clarity and reduce perceived blur, making the screen far better for gaming than 60Hz-only models. Since 1440p is a lot less demanding than 4K though, we are more inclined to recommend the G7 for PC gaming as ~144FPS on a 1440p 240Hz monitor is a lot smoother than ~60FPS on a 4K 144Hz display. It’s important to understand if the response times and overshoot will vary as the refresh rate changes. Performance during VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) – bearing in mind that the refresh rate will fluctuate anywhere from 1Hz up to the maximum supported by the screen (e.Later on some manufacturers experimented with using dual DisplayPort connections but while this avoided the need to drop colour depth and chroma for the top end refresh rates, it was restrictive in terms of using features like G-sync/FreeSync and HDR.

Overclocking if I turn on over clocking on one monitor the other monitor set to over clocking will shut off. Above that and up to 120Hz you had to drop to 8-bit colour depth, which to many looks no different in practice anyway – especially when you consider not every game even supports 10-bit in the first place. The colors are precise and consistent across the entire screen, so you can even use the monitor for color-critical work as the LG 27GN950 is factory-calibrated and supports hardware/software calibration via LG’s True Color Pro app. There is a small fan used on this screen but it’s very quiet and we didn’t even notice it in day to day use, it never seemed to get loud. We measured the response times in this mode as well which showed the same overall performance as the other refresh rates, and an average 5.In fact the image looked so good, it was not far off a native 1440p screen we felt when comparing side by side.
