About this deal

At all brightness levels in SDR, there is no need for the screen to use ABL, so you get a consistent brightness level no matter what your content is. That’s great news on an OLED panel as it’s annoying to see changing brightness as you move windows around or look at different content where ABL is used. A lot of fuss has been made about the screen being “dark” but that isn’t really a problem for office and general uses in our opinion, not unless you’re using the screen in a very bright room or are simply used to having a very bright LCD monitor pumping out 300 nits+. It’s perhaps more of an issue for gaming and video where maybe you want a brighter screen or use the screen from a further viewing position. Text Clarity and Sub-pixel structure

It does mean the screen isn’t as well suited to productivity or high-detail design work, and some people may of course be more sensitive to the sharpness drop than others. But day to day it’s still adequate and generally fine in our opinion for moderate office and internet use when you need to, alongside the main target use cases of gaming and multimedia. It’s certainly not terrible, and we should also keep in mind that the screen is primarily aimed at gaming and multimedia, where you shouldn’t notice issues related to this sub-pixel layout there hardly at all. Anti-glare coating for office use These values are dim in comparison to the Sony Inzone M9, which achieved an average of 395 nits of brightness in its standard mode. The Armada 27 (344 nits) also outshines LG’s monitor. But keep in mind neither of these has OLED panels. LG UltraGear OLED 27 review: Performance We uploaded the latest brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. HDR mode performs better in this regard, with it reaching up to 700 cd/m2 peak brightness. Unlike most LCD monitors which support DisplayHDR 400 or DisplayHDR 600 certification, but usually amount to little difference, the HDR on the 27GR95QE makes a notable difference in the image quality as it is able to utilize the HDR data to a much greater effect. As such, games and movies on the monitor looked expectedly stunning, so much so that there was little difference between it and my LG C9 OLED TV.The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. The stand includes tilt, height, swivel and rotate adjustments. Connections and Hardware Calibration Support Apart from the standard image settings (brightness, contrast, color temperature, etc.), the LG 27GR95QE also offers some advanced options, including four gamma modes, 6-axis hue/saturation, sharpness, color temperature fine-tuning in 500K increments, aspect ratio control (full wide, original and just scan) and Auto Input Switch. Monitors with a glossy screen surface have a more vivid image, but they’re more reflective, making them less suitable for rooms with plenty of sunlight or direct lighting. Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting.

We will not go too much in to potential concerns around lifespan of the OLED panel, colour shift, dark spots or image retention/burn-in here. You can read our OLED Displays and the Monitor Marketarticle for more information about those potential issues. As a desktop monitor if you are going to use the screen for many hours per day, some of these things might become an issue in time. In our fairly short period of time testing and using the screen we noticed no issues in any of these areas. Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. WidthWhen using VRR, the pixel response time performance is perfect regardless of the refresh/frame rate as there’s no need for different overdrive modes. Read our detailed article about input lagand the various measurement techniques which are used to evaluate this aspect of a display. The screens tested are split into two measurements which are based on our overall display lag tests and half the average G2G response time, as measured by our oscilloscope. The response time element, part of the lag you can see, is split from the overall display lag and shown on the graph as the green bar. From there, the signal processing (red bar) can be provided as a good estimation of the lag you would feelfrom the display. We also classify each display as follows: Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²). Doom Eternal is an extremely fast-paced game that can push your reflexes to the max. I can’t say this monitor made me play better, but it certainly didn’t hinder me. No matter how much was happening on the screen or how fast I was moving, the UltraGear 27GR95QE-B never stuttered. Zipping across New York City in Marvel’s Spider-Man for PC was also seamless and smooth. LG UltraGear OLED 27 review: Interface Class 2)A lag of 8.33 – 16.66ms – the equivalent of one to two frames at a 120Hz refresh rate – moderate lag but should be fine for many gamers. Caution advised for serious gaming
