LG Unveils UltraGear GX7: A 480Hz OLED Gaming Monitor for the Ultimate Performance

LG has just launched its fastest OLED gaming monitor to date, the UltraGear GX7 (27GX790A), designed for gamers who demand the absolute best in visual performance. This new model boasts a 480Hz refresh rate, allowing it to display up to 480 frames per second (FPS) without any frame drops, as long as it’s paired with a PC capable of delivering such high frame rates. This level of refresh rate makes it an ideal choice for competitive gamers who want a seamless, ultra-smooth experience during fast-paced action sequences.

At 27 inches, the UltraGear GX7 offers a 2560×1440 resolution with an incredibly fast 0.03ms response time, ensuring crisp and responsive visuals. This makes it perfect for high-speed gaming scenarios, from first-person shooters to racing games, where split-second reactions matter. Additionally, the monitor supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technologies, allowing for adaptive synchronization that eliminates screen tearing and stuttering for smoother gameplay. For those seeking high-quality visuals, the monitor is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, ensuring deep blacks and vibrant colors that make the most of HDR content.

The connectivity options are decent, although not extraordinary. The monitor comes with one DisplayPort 2.1 and two HDMI 2.1 ports, providing sufficient flexibility for connecting to multiple devices. It also includes a USB 3.0 port for peripherals and a headphone port for audio. For those who need adjustable ergonomics, the stand offers height, tilt, and rotation adjustments, allowing you to find the perfect viewing angle. You can raise and lower the stand, rotate it 30 degrees, and tilt it by 15 degrees to achieve the most comfortable setup.

The UltraGear GX7 (27GX790A) is now available for pre-order at $999.99, which is competitive for a 27-inch 1440p OLED monitor with such a high refresh rate. The availability of this monitor will likely depend on pre-order demand, though shipping dates are still unconfirmed. For gamers seeking the highest performance in OLED gaming displays, the UltraGear GX7 is set to deliver on that promise.
