LG’s 27-inch OLED gaming monitor is one of the fastest models we’ve seen to date and it’s finally ready for preorder. The UltraGear 27GX790A (or GX7 for short) is priced at $999.99 and is built around a 480Hz panel from LG Display announced in early January with a 2560 x 1440 resolution and 0.03ms response time.
The base specs of the GX7 are on par with the $1,100 InZone M10S that Sony released in September. That makes the UltraGear GX7 a smidge cheaper, but it lacks some of the performance modes and variable refresh rate features available on Sony’s offering.
The UltraGear GX7 is listed as available for preorder on LG’s US website, but there’s no mention of a delivery date and it can’t yet be added to the basket for checkout. We’ve reached out to LG for more information and will update here if we hear back.
The UltraGear GX7 is compatible with both Nvidia’s G-Sync and AMD’s FreeSync technology to help eliminate flickering and screen tearing issues. The display carries a DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification that supports a wide color gamut and impressive black levels, and an “Anti-Glare and Low Reflection” coating to improve the viewing experience in brightly lit environments.
The monitor features ports for HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, USB 3.0, and a headphone jack. It also comes with a slim, height-adjustable stand that can tilt up to 15 degrees, and swivel up to 30 degrees.
