Is this monitor true 2.1 Display Port? Im hearing it cant do 80Gbps
The DisplayPort 2.1 ports on the LG 27-inch UltraGear OLED QHD 1440P 480Hz 0.03ms G-Sync® Compatible DisplayPort 2.1 Gaming Monitor, Model # 27GX790A-B are "true" DisplayPort 2.1 ports. DisplayPort 2.1 supports three UHBR rates: UHBR10 (40Gbps): Suitable for mainstream 4K/120Hz gaming and general multitasking. UHBR13.5 (54Gbps): Supports 8K/60Hz with Display Stream Compression (DSC), ideal for premium home theaters or productivity. UHBR20 (80Gbps): Enables uncompressed 8K/120Hz or dual 4K/144Hz setups, suitable for high-end gaming and professional workflows. The LG 27GX790A-B monitor features a DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth of UHBR13.5, which is limited to 54 Gbps. This bandwidth allows for high-resolution and high-refresh-rate gaming without the need for Display Stream Compression (DSC), but does not mean it's not a "true" DisplayPort 2.1 port. It just supports a different UHBR rate...^Ivan.
DP2.1 standard on UHBR13.5 or UHBR20? also, does monitor feature BFI? so far way too many conflicting information provided from various LG sources making me question whether preordering was the right choice
Hello there, Vogam. Thank you for reaching out with your detailed question about the LG 27GX790A-B Gaming Monitor. We understand the importance of accurate specifications when considering a purchase. Regarding your question on DisplayPort 2.1: Based on the available information, the DisplayPort 2.1 on this monitor is operating at UHBR13.5 (54Gbps), not UHBR20. The product page had initially indicated a higher bandwidth, but recent details suggest that UHBR13.5 is the correct configuration. As for BFI (Black Frame Insertion), unfortunately, this model does not feature BFI technology. https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gx790a-b-gaming-monitor#pdp_specs We understand how conflicting information can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience as we provide clarification.

May i recieve this product for free? i would like to review it on my tiktok page for my almost 2,000 followers, thanks!
Regrettably, we do not have the contact information for who you would need to contact from LG's PR team to request an LG UltraGear™ 27" OLED QHD 480Hz 0.03ms NVIDIA G-SYNC, AMD Freesync™ Premium Pro Gaming Monitor (HDMI x2, DisplayPort, USB) - Black, Model # 27GX790A-B, to review and get to keep after reviewing it. You would first have to build a portfolio of reviews to pitch directly to our PR team & if you already run a blog, a YouTube channel, or write for an online publication, you can reach out directly to our public relations (PR) team to request a review unit, but normally, you should not ask for an expensive monitor. Start by requesting smaller, less expensive items to build a portfolio. You can find Find the press or PR email on our website. Emphasize why reviewing our specific monitor model fills an information gap for consumers...^Ivan.
