If your reflexes are sharp but your monitor is still stuck in the Stone Age of refresh rates, LG has a solution that’ll make even your caffeine-fueled gaming marathons feel inadequate. Enter the LG UltraGear GX7, a 27-inch OLED gaming monitor with a refresh rate so absurd—480Hz—it might just give you motion sickness from how smooth it is.
This QHD resolution (2560 x 1440) display doesn’t just stop at speed. It’s built on LG’s WOLED tech, which means vibrant colors, deep blacks, and brightness levels that ensure you’re not fumbling for enemies in the shadows. Gamers can say goodbye to screen tearing and flickering with NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro compatibility.
The cherry on top? VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and the highest VESA ClearMR tier, combine to offer picture quality that’s more lifelike than your social media photos.
The 480 Hz refresh rate (!) is a massive leap ahead of competitors like ASUS ROG Swift or Samsung Odyssey, which typically max out at 360 Hz. Paired with an ultra-responsive 0.03ms GTG response time, the GX7 is like teleporting to the leaderboard—no lag, no ghosting, just pure speed. Whether you’re locked in a 1v1 on Valorant or dodging blue shells in Mario Kart, this display ensures you’re never held back.
Connectivity isn’t just an afterthought here. With two HDMI 2.1 ports and DisplayPort 2.1, the GX7 pairs effortlessly with next-gen consoles and gaming PCs. DisplayPort 2.1’s massive bandwidth boost means it’s ready to handle resolutions and refresh rates that’ll make even the most demanding GPUs sweat.
Comfort and functionality shine in its ergonomic design. The slim L-shaped stand keeps your keyboard snug, while the adjustable tilt, swivel, and pivot features let you align your gaming station just right. Add in the DTS Headphone:X support for pinpoint audio positioning, and you’re equipped for everything from sneaky flankers to explosive boss fights.
The LG UltraGear GX7 is a powerhouse for serious gamers who demand the best performance and visual fidelity. All this innovation comes at a premium price, with the GX7 retailing at US$999.99. If you want to outpace your competition (and possibly your internet speed), the GX7 is ready to redefine your gaming experience.
