A truly stupendous monitor, for only double the cost of the console itself.

Nice to finally see HDMI 2.1 on a true computer monitor but damn...$900 for a 27" 4K screen seems like their asking alot. For 4K really wish they would have gone with a minimum 32" size monitor.

And $900 is approaching OLED prices, the other week you could get a 48" LG CX OLED from Costco for like $1300 and it came with a $100 Hulu credit and a free $100 extended warranty as well, you could have also knocked another $100 off the price using the Costco $100 promo code that there was a huge slickdeals forum thread on. I was tempted but I already have a 65" OLED so skipped it.

There are plenty of articles/youtube vids on how the LG CX 48" OLED is almost the perfect god tier display for everything but 48" is too big for alot of people as a computer monitor which I get and LG is going to come out with a 42" OLED eventually from what they announced. 42" is still big for a computer monitor but at least more manageable.

For me personally, I couldn't pay $900 for a 27" IPS LCD 4K monitor that is going to look terrible when playing games with dark scenes or playing anything that has dark content. I don't know about all of you, but if I'm going to pay almost $1,000 or more for a computer monitor, I want almost perfection. Rtings said this about this panel:

"Sadly, it's not a good choice for dark-room gaming due to its low contrast ratio and terrible black uniformity. Its local dimming feature performs terribly, so dark scenes don't look good." https://www.rtings.com/monitor/re.../27gn950-b

Once you game on an OLED especially dark games where the OLED true black levels can shine it's hard to go back to LCD monitors with all their drawbacks.

Considering Xbox and PS5 can't and probably never will be able to play any game at 4k 120hz this is truly a pointless item or any monitor for that matter. Better off just getting an OLED tv, they also have 1ms response at 120hz which is the max a console will output for any big game. Even most PCs can't run AAA games at these settings.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps runs at 4K 120 locked on the Xbox Series X and 6K 60 as well. So yes it is possible.

It is?

I've been using stuff in the 51-55" range for over a decade now... (including a 51" Plasma, then a 55" C6 OLED, now a 55" CX OLED)

Just sit a little further back.

It is, alot of people don't want a 48" or bigger computer monitor. Then there are people like you and me who don't mind a big screen as a monitor. But the average computer user doesn't want something that big or will spend that much. Alot of the comments I've seen online for people using the LG OLED 48" CX is they love it but there's a percentage that say it can be difficult for productivity work and can cause eye/kneck strain. All depends how far you can push it back on your desk I guess. Would love to see an LG OLED monitor in the 32" to 40" range but that 42" will be badass once LG releases it.

There is a reason professional gamers(not me) play on monitors. The benefits far out way the negatives of playing on a tv. Especially for first person shooters. The response time on monitors is considerably faster that most, if not all TVs. I'll never go back to playing on a tv.

I'd bet you the cost of either you couldn't tell the difference between this (allegedly 1ms) and an LG CX (measured ~6 ms in game mode) in terms of response time.



I'd expect maybe the 0.01% of humans who literally make their living on FPS games maybe could, but that's about it.

Then again studies like this one suggest even THEY couldn't tel with that small a difference-
https://cogsci.yale.edu/sites/def...Banatt.pdf




Note that 1ms time is likely BS BTW... the problem is there's no one way EVERYONE measures and reports response time... so the only way to BS check the marketing specs is when a 3rd party tests devices using the same method for all products and reports the results the same way too.


LG claimed 1ms for the GN950 too, when rtings.com actually measured it it was between 4-7.6 ms depending on mode.

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/re.../27gn950-b

Which if same is true for this one means the response times are basically identical from this monitor and the newer LG OLED TVs... (while the OLEDs offer a bigger, and better quality, picture too)

Shows sold out for me. We've been waiting so long for a monitor with these specs. I'll wait a bit longer anyway. See if reviews are everything we want them to be.

News flash your going to keep waiting it isn't coming. laugh out loud

People see LG Display is releasing a 42" panel and they get all giddy. What you and so many others don't realize is LG Display makes panels not monitors/tv's. Those are made by LG Electronics. LG Electronics has already announced their tv lineup for this year and nothing is below a 48".

Yes LG Display is making a 42" panel but it's unknown what company is buying them and if they are going in tv's or monitors.
