The LG UltraGear GX790 is a 27-inch monitor boasting a 2560x1440 resolution (109ppi), a blazing-fast 480Hz refresh rate, and G-Sync compatibility. Utilizing LG's cutting-edge WOLED panel, it delivers near-instantaneous response times (0.03ms) and unparalleled true black levels, surpassing even Mini-LED technology. Further enhancing its capabilities are a 98.5% DCI-P3 color gamut, HDR True Black 400 certification, and factory calibration. Connectivity options include one DisplayPort 2.1 port (required for 480Hz), two HDMI 1.4 ports, and two USB 3.0 ports.

The GX790's unique combination of OLED and a high refresh rate makes it ideal for games with rapid, dynamic motion, such as first-person shooters. To fully utilize its 480fps potential at 2560x1440, a high-end graphics card is necessary. Depending on the game's demands, a GeForce RTX 4070 or better is recommended. While less demanding titles like Counter-Strike or Fortnite may run well, more graphically intensive games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will require more powerful hardware.
