The LG UltraGear GX790 is a 27" monitor featuring a 2560x1440 resolution (109ppi), a blazing 480Hz refresh rate, and G-Sync compatibility. It utilizes LG's latest generation WOLED panel, which provides near-instantaneous response times (0.03ms) and true black levels unmatched by other panel types, including Mini-LED. The GX790 also offers a 98.5% DCI-P3 color range, HDR True Black 400 certification, and comes factory-calibrated. On the connectivity front, it includes one DisplayPort 2.1 port (essential for achieving 480Hz), two HDMI 1.4 ports, and two USB 3.0 ports.
Thanks to its combination of an OLED panel and a high refresh rate, the GX790 excels in games with rapid or twitchy motion, such as shooters. To reach frame rates up to 480fps at 2560x1440, your PC needs to be equipped with a suitable video card. Depending on the game, a graphics card like the GeForce RTX 4070 should suffice. Less demanding games like Counter-Strike or Fortnite will require less power than more intensive titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
