The graphics are amazing on the monitor, great gift.

Excellent monitor, a nice upgrade from my nano IPS

Very cool monitor, use it to watch videos but also games

I didnt get to enjoy the monitor since bestbuy open box team or i guess the geek squad gave me a broken and bended monitor in terrible shape i didnt even want to turn it on

nice monitor but screen started to bubble after 3 months of owning it

no matter how I change the settings, text is still blurry. also for some reasons, is hurting my eyes even on night mode.

GOOD - OLED picture quality - Supports native 4K resolution - Simple interface - Useful remote - Two USB ports on back - Affordable for 240 Hz OLED display BAD - Big power brick - Navigating menus w/o remote is almost impossible - No front accessible USB ports - Text clarity could be better TLDR It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but this is an affordable workhorse of a 240 Hz OLED gaming monitor that's quasi-4K capable. DETAILS Viewing quality HDR content on a properly calibrated OLED screen is a beautiful thing to behold. But most people have never had that opportunity as most OLED displays are prohibitively expensive. The $600 price tag ( as of this writing ) may still seem high, but it's quite affordable compared to the $800 - $1200 tag on a lot of other OLED gaming monitors. And despite the lower price, it's not stripped down on features. The monitor is overall very good quality. Due to it's smaller size and lower resolution, you won't get the maximum brightness and HDR effect like you will from a TV. But it does pretty good for its limitations and it's not hard to get the picture adjusted to your liking. The monitor also has common "game mode" features like a superimposed crosshair and frame counter. The stand feels reasonably sturdy and you can adjust height, front-to-back tilt, and rotate the display to portrait orientation. The specs say it can swivel side-to-side, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it does swivel, but doing so requires a lot more force than I'm willing to put on the thin display frame. I'd also prefer a flat bottom plate rather than the wide spread Y legs, as that would take up less desk space and allow me to stack a few things on the plate. The monitor doesn't have speakers of its own, but it does have two audio out connections, one 3.5mm headphone jack and one fiber optic port on the back. It doesn't have eARC, so you can't hook it up to a soundbar through HDMI. It also has a built-in USB hub with two ports on the back, so you can connect your keyboard, mouse or other peripherals. It would be nice if LG took a page from Dell's book and added some USB ports on the bottom of side so you could use it for thumb drives or other peripherals that are frequently connected and detached. The on-screen menu is easy to navigate with the included remote and the options and settings are grouped intuitively so you don't need to constantly bounce back and forth to get the picture to your liking. The remote has a good button layout with dedicated controls for switching inputs, display brightness, and the audio out volume. One oddity is the reader mode button on the remote. It quickly sets the screen to a reader or night time mode, but pressing the button again doesn't return you back to the last picture mode. However, don't ever lose the remote as you'll have a devil of a time getting through the menu without it. Instead of cursor keys or a joystick, the monitor has a single physical button to navigate the menus, and it's horrible to use. You can also use LG's companion software to control the settings from a computer, but that doesn't help if you're mainly using this for Xbox or PlayStation. Like many OLED monitors and TVs, the screen is very thin front-to-back around the top and sides while still having a central blister on the back to house the inputs and other control circuitry. Having the thin edges makes it harder to mount webcams on top of the monitor and makes the display more fragile overall. Really, it makes no sense for manufacturers to keep using this construction style for OLEDs because it doesn't save anything on overall size. Using a full cabinet also gives you more space to house internal power regulation circuitry. That means you can use a standard power cable instead of a massive power adapter brick with specialty connection. Again, Dell has been doing this for years and it would be nice if LG and others would adopt the practice. Most of these are minor complaints, though. Apart from having only two USB ports, my only serious gripe with the monitor is the clarity of text. Due to how LG structured the subpixels, text looks a tiny bit fuzzy around the edges. I find it distracting, though whether it's enough to bother you is a personal matter. For gaming and movies, it doesn't matter. But if you use it for work in the day ( and game at night ) and if you handle a lot of documents, it might be more than you want to bear with. It's not a perfect gaming monitor, but for this lower price point, it's certainly a worthwhile option.

There’s no reason to beat around the bush here: this is a great OLED gaming monitor. I wish I had more gripes about it, but really if you’re in the market for a 27” OLED monitor with a higher refresh rate this should be at the top of your list. If you’re familiar with OLED in general, you know LG has been around the block for a while now. Its TV’s are constantly rated among the highest quality OLED devices around, and the company produces OLED panels for other big names as well. It should come as no surprise then that the monitors they make are a worthwhile addition to an office or gaming space. Upon unboxing, you’ll notice this version of the UltraGear 27” OLED comes in a plain brown box and features very subtle gaming touches. The box contains an HDMI and DP cord, power brick and cord, remote control, and screws for the stand. Getting things set up is standard practice, and if you don’t want to use the stand there is the traditional VESA 100x100 mounting point at the rear. If you’re unfamiliar with OLED you’ll notice the slim bezels and paper-thin panel mounted to a thicker backend. It looks nice, and the black with just a touch of red on the bar under the bottom bezel is all that sets it apart from other black monitors. But, once set up you can rest assured that professionals alike will enjoy it’s subdued nature. There’s no RGB; that can be found on LG’s other 27” OLED monitor, the same panel just with that feature for a little bit more. Build quality feels solid overall. Maybe not perfect, but nothing to not be happy with. I’m a PC gamer that has been using a 34” UW monitor for the past 4 years, and it served me well. But, once you go OLED you can’t go back. The viewing angle here is great, and brightness has been improved upon the previous iterations of this line. I was genuinely surprised at how much brighter it was than my previous monitor; though I know it was old, it was still a LED panel that could get bright. The colors are extremely full, volume-wise, and seem to be very accurate overall. I’m also a professional photographer, and being able to use my secondary monitor aside my MBP screen is now doable. Prior to the LG UltraGear OLED, I wouldn’t dare try that. There are a couple of picture mode tweaks you can use, but out of the box if you need your monitor accurate you won’t be disappointed. This monitor also features a matte finish, which is different from LG’s OLED tvs. It’s something to note, as colors and whites pop a bit more on a glossy panel, whereas the matte finish is bette for reflection handling and consistency across the board. The 240hz refresh rate is great, and having all VRR modes makes it versatile in the long term graphically. Pixel density is good at 109ppi, but if you’re wanting more you’ll have to jump up to UHD (which is an added cost). I think this monitor sits in a sweet spot of refresh rate gaming chops and resolution. Speaking of, If you’re a gamer you’ll be happy to know OLED tech also has very low input lag, which means every action does feel a bit faster than on other monitors. My only actual gripe is that the power cord itself is a little short. Since this needs a brick as well, it would’ve been nice to get a longer functioning cord. The stand also leaves a little to be desired as far as adjustability goes; I already mounted mine on a stand, and it feels much more usable overall. But, if you can get past this you’ll most likely be delighted at what this monitor brings to the table.

Soon I got the monitor a bunch of green line only happens with display port unfortunate seems like a good monitor just beware guys ….

It sucks Samsung Odyssey 27" is better. Do better.

A good monitor, but unfortunately it came defective.

This is an absolutely amazing monitor! I have a 3-screen set-up with (left-to-right) a 24" vertical, 34" 4k, and 27" vertical monitors. The verticals are older, but the center is a Samsung 4k smart monitor and I figured there's no way that this monitor would replace a significantly larger 4k. However, this monitor looks SOOO much sharper. Some of this has to do with what a computer can power. With this many monitors, everything runs more smoothly with the 1440p than with a 4k, even when cranked up to 120Hz (the best my laptop can do). I'm fairly certain that the clarity is also coming from the deep blacks that this monitor produces. Colors are more vibrant, the contrast is sharper, all colors are clearer. Plus, the difference between a monitor at 60 Hz and at 120 Hz is something you might not think would make much of a difference, but everything is so much better in the center monitor than at the sides. This is definitely an expensive monitor, but so was the Samsung 4k smart monitor. That one is a jack of all trades (more of an 8 of all trades...) while this one does an amazing job of what a monitor should actually do - clearly show images and video and be a pleasure to look at.

With so many OLED monitors out there from every manufacturer having a dizzying array of lines it's hard to know where to start. LG has been making OLED screens for a good while now. So it seems like a safe bet to look to them. First thing I noticed was that the GS93 was not too heavy which was nice to see (or hold while in the box). When I got the box open I took notice on how thin the body of the screen was which makes it look similar to their larger screen OLED TVs which I always liked. The stand is put together like many other stands and clipped right into the vesa mount and again being so light was easy to carry to my desk. The boomerang foot print will take up some awkward space on your desk (at least for me), but it does offer a stable base for the monitor and as long as you have a good desk it will keep the screen from wobbling. Range of motion is kind of limited as it doesn't appear to swivel at all. But it can stand pretty tall height wise since it can be turned into portrait mode, however, that angle seems a bit trivial which I will touch on later. My first con with this monitor will have to be the single button on this monitor that will control the OSD. The included remote will make navigating the OSD much easier, but between having it floating around on the desk and having to need to change the CR2025 battery down the line make it seem like an unnecessary hassle that would not need to exist had they stuck with their joystick button which have always been fairly easy to use on their past monitors. IF the remote attached to the back of the monitor or even integrated into the stand somewhere with a magsafe type charger that also kept it wirelessly charged, that would've been epic. A second gripe would be the power brick which I have been seeing is becoming the norm with monitors that are slimmer but still thick. No onboard speakers on this monitor but there is a 3.5mm headphone jack which is convenient but will not be used by myself. No dead pixels out of the box which is among the first thing I look for, but I have been relatively fortunate in my years dealing with LCD/OLED screens. I prefer matte screens because I have a window directly behind me which during the day is glare city, but I do understand that matte screens will take away from some of the beauty of the colors that OLED offers. But for gaming this monitor has been very pleasing to my eyes. Flicker free and buttery smooth. No tearing and extremely responsive. 240hz seems like overkill but there are 360hz monitors now, but I'm not sure how much of that jump I'd discern. Blacks are black with no blooming around bright objects on the screen. Watching movies and games on the LG OLED are satisfying to me even with the matte surface and great brightness. Text on the other hand is my final con with this monitor. Black text on white background is a bit sloppy and not crisp. White text on a dark background fairs better. But the latter makes me think my eyes are not focused. This monitor doesn't appear to well suited for office duty. Viewing angles are excellent which is good since there is essentially no swivel unless pivoting the boomerang. At $600 price point this UltraGear is not a terrible choice for a 240hz 1440p OLED gaming monitor with GSync. Shave off some more maybe near Black Friday and it is a great choice for sure!

So with this new monitor I have moved from a LG UltraGear 27" Nano IPS QHD 1-ms LED 165Hz monitor (which is a beautiful monitor in its own right), to this LG ULtraGear 27" OLED 240Hz monitor.... The initial impressions of comparison was absolutely noticable, the colors and the level of black is just fantastic! Everything just pops on this thing, gorgeous images... There was a few settings that needed to be defined with the monitor and nvidia software, with the help of google/youtube, it wasn't too tidous but should help with any weird screen issues that 'all' oleds can produce.... I wasn't sure how much I would like this monitor but after a week of putting in alot of gaming (call of duty, rocket league, cyberpunk 2077 etc) I was happy to experience this monitor held up to anything I threw at it, having a response time of .03ms and being 240Hz really helped for some great gaming. There wasn't anything I experienced with this monitor that was problematic or hard to really understand, pretty much plug and play. not much else to say about this OLED, It definitely performs well, and with a good price I would highly suggest getting one.

I babied this monitor and yet you can do everything right and still get a dead or stuck pixel right in the center of the screen now for the price i expected at least 2 years but didn't even make it to 600hr very disappointing and once yo get one you get 6 more fast
