Great Monitor for the Price

I picked up this monitor on sale, and for the price, it’s an absolute powerhouse. The 480 Hz refresh rate paired with a 0.03 ms response time delivers motion clarity that’s on another level—fast-paced games look razor sharp even in hectic moments. The OLED panel produces deep blacks, vibrant colors, and stunning contrast, so the visuals in every game feel incredibly immersive.
Performance-wise, it’s a dream for competitive gaming, and even cinematic titles benefit from the HDR and color accuracy. The build quality feels premium, and G-SYNC/FreeSync compatibility ensures smooth gameplay across different GPUs.
It’s not perfect—brightness isn’t the highest compared to some newer OLEDs, and there are no built-in speakers. Also, to take full advantage of 480 Hz, you’ll need a pretty powerful PC. But if you can grab it at a discount, it’s one of the best high-refresh OLED monitors for the money.
I was playing the Battlefield 6 beta with this monitor and it looks great and with the high FPS it was a truly different experience compared to typical IPS monitors. Other games look great Witcher 3 looks great as well. So many games look great. Highly recommend picking up this monitor; however, if you can wait for it to be on sale that would be even better.

This honestly feels like cheating…

Going from an ASUS 1080p 180Hz TN-display, to an LG 2K 144Hz IPS-display, to this MONSTER!? It honestly feels like cheating…
What ghosting and frame variance issues of IPS-displays? Why crave and reminisce about the smoothness, albeit horrible color accuracy, of TN-displays? Why compromise on beautiful color accuracy for speed? This monitor is the complete and OP package.
For those that claim they can’t see the difference of higher refresh rate monitors!? Just drag the mouse around on the Desktop with this BEAST…that will be all of the proof you need. Having this monster side-by-side to my previously purchased LG monitor makes it even more painfully obvious how important your gaming monitor is to unlock your full gaming potential. Most setups have limited games they can push at 500+ FPS @ QHD/2K, but you won’t have to worry about your monitor being a bottle neck for a LONG while.
After drooling from all of the LG OLED HDR videos on YouTube - this monitor has breathed new life into all of my games, videos, and productivity. Regardless if they are retro, single-player, or online competitive games - everything is SO much better on this monitor.
FYI - don’t freak out if the color “grey” looks wonky at first. Be sure to connect the included high-speed USB-C cable and install LG’s software for some calibrations and pixel cleaning to significantly improve color accuracy. No 3rd-party calibration hardware needed (even though they are also supported by LG’s app).
Why are you still reading this? Come join the other side. My only regret is that I took far too long to pull the trigger, and that I have to save up a bit and wait to buy another, lol…

This monitor is a beast! Build quality and aesthetics are unbeatable; it's gorgeous. Controls are easy to use, and if you use the stand, it has a thoughtfully designed wire management port, which cleans things up.
On performance, I can only describe the usage from a productivity standpoint, as I sadly haven't had the chance to game on it yet. The colors are exceptional, everything you expect from a top-tier OLED monitor. The brightness and max-brightness are fantastic, which is typically an issue with OLEDs. I've used this monitor for the past 4 months at a school where I primarily coded with it, wrote papers, and did a lot of reading. I wouldn't trade this for anything; it's really been nothing but amazing each time I use it.

An amazing looking monitor with everything I could ever need. High refresh rate, deep blacks and stunning whites. The greatest monitor I’ve ever bought, it will truly change your gaming experience. I would never buy this monitor at retail price, please look out for a sale. I bought open box for almost half the price of retail and I couldn’t be happier.

Monitor itself is great, amazing refresh rate and great image quality. Upgraded from my 240hz LG Oled and you can definitely see the difference in the quality of colors and the image is so much smoother. If your PC can’t handle competitive games at 500fps, I wouldn’t recommend it, but if it can you should at least consider getting this.
The only reason I’m giving it a 4 star is because I bought an open box (excellent), but when the monitor arrived, it had a bent on the bottom left. Contacted Best Buy and I didn’t have a problem keeping it like that but they still gave an extra discount. Good customer care, but next time I get an open box, I would love to be told the truth.

LG UltraGear 27" OLED 480Hz —

So I’ve been running games on the LG UltraGear 27" OLED QHD 480Hz and honestly? It’s cracked.
Display Quality
• The OLED panel is gorgeous — true blacks, insane contrast, and colors that pop off the screen.
• QHD resolution hits the sweet spot: sharp enough for immersion, but still manageable for high FPS.
Performance
• 480Hz refresh rate is next-level. In Valorant and CS2, it feels like my aim is glued to targets.
• 0.03ms response time means no ghosting, no blur — just pure, instant feedback.
• Adaptive sync with NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro keeps frames smooth even when things get chaotic.
Features & Build
• Gamer tools like Black Stabilizer and FPS counter give you an edge.
• Sleek design with adjustable stand and subtle RGB accents.
• Ports are stacked: HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, USB — future-proof for next-gen setups.
Pros
• OLED visuals are jaw-dropping
• 480Hz + 0.03ms = competitive edge unlocked
• Smooth adaptive sync support
• Solid build and ergonomic stand
Cons
• Pricey (around $999)
• Needs a beastly GPU to push 480Hz
• SDR brightness isn’t as high as LCD rivals
• No built-in speakers
Final Verdict:
This monitor is basically a hardware buff for competitive gamers. If you’re sweaty in ranked, it feels like you just unlocked a cheat code. For casuals, it might be overkill, but for esports-level grind? Absolute god-tier.

I’m really digging the design of this monitor. It’s super minimalistic but doesn’t skimp on performance. Sure, 480Hz might seem like overkill, but OLED is definitely the way to go. I’m coming from an Asus IPS panel, and this OLED is just bursting with vibrant colors and clarity that’s hard to ignore. Once you try OLED, you just can’t go back!

It's fast and the price is decent when it's on sale, but I preferred the Sony M10S (long story, but I sold the Sony to get a 4k 240hz monitor and then decided I prefer higher refresh rate at QHD which is why I got this one). I think the Sony had a better user interface/menu, and the ability to set hotkeys to specific inputs is missing on the LG (you can create a hotkey, but only to the input select menu, and it still takes 2 button presses to even get to that). The grays on dark mode windows taskbar also looked blotchy to me when first powering this on, but they either look better now or I got used to it. I'm fairly certain the seemingly random misaligned lines across the screen are not supposed to happen (attached photos showing what I mean). I will be returning this monitor as soon as the Asus I ordered arrives.

like what I said. one of the best OLED in the market right now. I chose between this and the sony inzone both had same specs but based on the reviews I watch I end up buying this one even though it's $100 more expensive. I play more FPS and Singleplayer games with it. I went from 280hz to 480hz I don't see any difference that much but from LED to OLED difference is worth it.

Absolutely great monitor, but after 6 Months of OWNING it, I have ran into an issue with a Line (UP & DOWN) on the screen. Warranty is good though.
