LG UltraGear 27GX790A Review
The LG UltraGear 27GX790A is one of those monitors that turns heads the second it powers on. With its OLED panel, 480Hz refresh rate, and QHD resolution, it promises a near-unreal level of visual performance. But does it actually hold up under pressure? I spent time putting this high-end gaming display through its paces, from checking color accuracy and motion clarity to testing ergonomics and that ever-popular RGB lighting. While the screen delivers on many fronts—especially when it comes to contrast and sharpness—it’s not without its quirks. Most notably, Adaptive Sync can introduce flickering that’s tough to ignore in fast-paced games. If you’re chasing raw speed and stunning visuals, the 27GX790A is worth considering—but it’s not perfect.
So, does all of this justify the premium price tag? For competitive players prioritizing raw speed and visual clarity above all else, and who are willing to forgo Adaptive Sync, the 27GX790A is a compelling choice. It excels where it matters most: delivering incredibly responsive, sharp visuals in fast-paced games. However, for more casual gamers or those sensitive to flickering issues and seeking seamless variable refresh rate technology, exploring alternatives might be a consideration.
Ultimately, the LG UltraGear 27GX790A is a fantastic monitor hampered by one significant caveat. It’s a powerful display that shines brightly… as long as you can live with its quirks.
