LG has controversy about forcing programs onto windows computers, may have been corrected by now. Still worth factoring in, this same brand is ok with shady practices and may find a new way to exploit its end users in the future.

Community Reviews

LG's 27 inch Ultragear OLED stands out as a fast 1440p gaming monitor with excellent color, inky blacks, and a sturdy stand. The subtle anti glare coating and customizable ambient lighting add polish, and the panel can feel like a major upgrade for gaming. Setup may take some tuning, and the burn in protection leaves a larger edge gap. LG's software can also auto install on Windows, and VRR flicker can show up when frame rates fluctuate, so it suits players who value OLED image quality and speed over perfect simplicity.

Common Questions (5)

  • The jump from 120/144/240/360Hz to 480Hz may be hard to notice for many players, and real in-game frame rates usually will not reach 480fps. It is most useful for highly competitive FPS play, while G-Sync/FreeSync should stay enabled to handle fluctuating frame rates.

    AceCooperCleverHome408MaroonSardine794DonD1175

  • It can auto-install LG device software on Windows, and the app may be reinstalled by Microsoft because the system thinks it is needed for the display. The app can be uninstalled or disabled, and startup launch can be turned off; Group Policy can also block automatic download of device-associated apps.

    Vitaliy-theGBo0rKuds

  • The monitor is described as having fantastic colors, inky blacks, subtle but effective anti-glare, and a very high-quality stand. The main tradeoffs are a larger edge gap from burn-in mitigation and menus that are harder to navigate.

    HypothalamusSlick_DroneKuds

  • Open-box units should be checked carefully for burn-in, and some have been reported with very noticeable burn-in. One open-box example had 8,700 hours on it, so usage history matters a lot when buying used or display models.

    OliveBuffalo7140slickpod

  • This monitor uses LG's WOLED technology, not QD-OLED. That means it does not have the Samsung-style triangle pixel pattern associated with QD-OLED panels.

Seems like an OK deal since apparently for liek a year now this has gone on sale around this price range pretty often. My only worry is online soem reviews people really didn't like this monitor and even returned it. Was wondering if anyone here has this monitor and what they think of it?

Picked this monitor up open box excellent at Best Buy for $390, they seem to be selling their display monitors at the moment. I like it a lot, took a while to play with the settings but the colors are fantastic and I have had no issues yet.

I own it and it's been one of the best upgrades to my gaming setup I've ever made. Very high quality stand, ambient lighting is customizable and subtle, the colors pop, the blacks are inky, and anti-glare is subtle but effective.

Couple of gripes: the anti-burn-in tech leaves a larger gap around the edge of the screen, and the menus aren't the easiest to navigate - although much better than some other brands I've used.

My knowledge on the matter isnt the most up to date, if my memory serves me right, windows supposedly frowned on the matter (ironically). Dont remember if they demanded a course correction, didn't dig to deep into the matter. End of the day scummy move from LG and Im glad I never commited to their $1400 monitor.

Is 480hz is fast enough that I can turn off VRR to avoid the flicker issue entirely and still not see screen tearing?

I have an RTX 5080 pc and currently play at 144hz. I'll be honest that my eyes literally can't tell the difference between 120/144/240/360hz. Is there a practical use/need for 480hz?

I really don't think so. It's only for those "highly competitive" ranked CSGO players. Feels like diminishing returns. There's no way it makes that big a difference even in the competitive scene. That's just my opinion.
