I started PC Gaming about 5 years ago on a 1080p 60hz Display, then jumped to 1080p 144hz and was blown away by the fluidity. My next upgrade was an IPS LG 27GP850 1440p 180hz and again I was impressed by extra detail that 1440p provided. I recently upgraded my GPU and decided it's time for another monitor upgrade, I went back and fourth between 1440p OLED or 4K OLED, being an FPS snob I chose this LG 27GS95QE 1440P/240hz. Overall it has been a Great Experience, the colors pop like never before, 240hz is extra smooth, the menu is easy to understand with plenty of customization, build quality it top notch as you would expect from LG and lastly the remote and the rear lighting is a nice touch not having to fumble around for the power button when I'm done gaming.

My previous monitor experiences include an Acer gaming display, a Dell curved 32”, and ViewSonic 24’ with various display types, LCD in the early 2000’s TN in 2010’s and VA in late 2015-ish. Stepping up to this LG model in 2024 has showed me companies are producing quality displays designed specifically for PC users that mainly game. This is my first OLED but not my first display. Firstly, the matte coating on this screen should be noted really as a semi matte coating, why you may ask, let me explain. Simply put, although most You Tuber’s will show us in reviews the obvious matte coating, the point they fail to share is, if you get close enough to the screen with a light source, for example, a smart phones flashlight, you will see the reflection of the phone on the screen which is a clear indication of a semi matte coating and sitting closer to this screen because it’s 27’ allows the colors to pop, reduces glare from behind and the matte coating allows for the display to not be hindered in anyway by overhead lights or lights from sources behind the screen which results in less of a need in increasing brightness, it’s a beautiful thing because my VA panel, would noticeably need extra brightness once the lights in my room were turned on. I was pleasantly surprised by the ability of this screen to not need that intervention which is a real upgrade in viewing performnance. The display has auto running features that pixel clean for 1 minute after a certain amount of usage time and image clean for 10 minutes after 4 hours. With the image cleaning feature, I’ve heard horror stories were users complained of other branded displays running for much longer, thinking 1 hour. I much prefer the shorter time to run on this display and you will too. There is pixel shift too, mode 1 is the shortest amount of time between shifting and it’s never noticed by me. I’m 35 hours into usage, there is a built in counter that tracks this and the display has been awesome using it. I was going to go with 32”, 4K, Dell but decided, since my last display was 32” VA from Dell, I’d rather downgrade to 27”, sit closer and take less performance hit to gaming since this is 1440P. With the new Nvidia App, this display, and i9 12900kf and the rtx 2060 super, I’m in bliss while playing and there’s nothing ignorant about this version of bliss. There are many more positive things to say about this display but I will leave it at, the sale price goes as low as $649.99, regularly 899.99 and it is definitely worth both prices but better to pay the lesser in the current economy. I highly recommend this LG Ultra Display! I added some comparison pictures from the Dell VA 32’ and the OLED on the right.

This panel has excellent color accuracy, vibrant colors and deep inky blacks. The 240hz refresh rate feels buttery smooth and the hdr mode is breathtaking in the games that it supports. At this price point, this is the best monitor you can get for your money, 10/10 would recommend to any serious gamer or people who enjoy an exceptional and premium viewing experience. The added remote is another awesome feature I wish more monitors had.

This is the version with the brighter screen setting. the blacks are really nice and i got it on sale. The only complaint i have is of course the matte screen but honestly doesnt bother me. LG tvs and monitors are top of the line. however this being a OLED monitor you can have burn in on the screen. i would set a screen saver or sleep timer on it when you step away from it for a long period of time.

Fantastic monitor, super smooth, vibrant, and extreme clarity with none of that weird overlocking stuff The remote makes it super easy to control the monitor and the presets are beautiful HDR is good, but with it only reaching so many nits, it’s very dark compared to my iPhone 16 pro max watching HDR content, like way way darker
