Arrived defective and grainy display
on April 4, 2026
Posted by: Enesk
from Seattle
Bought as a big fan of lg oled tvs, but disappointed heavily. There was a line at the middle like thickness of 2-3 pixel and length of maybe 1000 pixels, from left to right.
I tried the monitor like half an hour. It does automatically pixel refresh when you first boot it up. Greybanding was terrible. There were banding all over vertically and horizontally. Also the display itself was very grainy. There was a rough texture/graininess could be seen in both bright and dark scenes. It felt like watching the screen through a dirty window. Since the product was defective, I returned it.

Worse matte coating, no pixel shift pattern on OSD
on February 19, 2026
Posted by: Lothar
from Reno, NV
The matte coating is worse than previous matte 3rd gen 480 hz woled, can't unsee it.
Gamma feels weird, usually i like the gamma 1 setting for brighter feel but on this one it feels dark like gamma 2.2, black stabilizer is worse too so its hard to see in dark games (arc raiders) it was fine on 3rd gen woled....
There is no longer a pixel shift setting on the OSD anymore too so can't change the pixel shift pattern, why?
Pros: Performance

As a gamer, it's a game changer!
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Maria A
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So happy with this monitor! As a gamer who spends way too many hours in front of a screen, this LG monitor has been an absolute upgrade to my setup. It is smooth, sharp, and insanely responsive. The 27 inch display feels like the perfect size for both my competitive MMORPGs and even cozy games, with crisp visuals and vibrant colors that do not look overcooked. Fast-paced gameplay feels fluid thanks to the high refresh rate and near instant response time, and input lag is basically nonexistent, which actually makes a huge difference in larger games. I can play long sessions without eye strain, the stand is solid and easy to adjust, and the on screen settings are refreshingly easy to use. Overall, this monitor truly feels built for gamers who care about performance, and it is easily one of the best displays I have used for both competitive and casual gaming.

Very solid monitor until it wasn’t. This product crashed mid gaming session after about 30 days of use and could not turn on anymore. Critical failure and product issue. Avid LG monitor supporter through the years but I would stay avoid this one unfortunately

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend loves this monitor for his gaming set up, he also uses it to watch sports and for work! Image is insanely good compared to his old monitor and reload rate is so much faster. The colors look amazing because of the OLED so it makes gaming feel immersive and more fun. Set up was also really easy. Really really impressive monitor for any set up! — Review submitted as part of a program that provides a purchase discount.

This OLED Monitor Hits Different
on April 1, 2026
Posted by: Elliott B
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the LG UltraGear 27GX790B for a bit now and honestly, it’s just a really fun monitor to use. The OLED makes everything look crazy good with the deep blacks, super vibrant colors, and just overall really clean visuals. Games feel insanely smooth, especially if you’re into fast shooters. It just feels quick and responsive.
I also like that it doesn’t look over the top gamer monitor. It’s sleek, thin, and has a simple matte black finish that fits any setup. The stand is sturdy and easy to adjust, which I appreciate.
You do have to be a little mindful since it’s OLED, but overall it feels premium and totally worth it.

Great OLED gaming experience
on April 1, 2026
Posted by: Garrett L
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Dual Mode OLED Ultragear is the best monitor experience we’ve ever had. We have moved from LED to OLED and the experience has us never wanting to go back. The extremely high refresh rate enables us to push our GPUs to the max, getting over 500fps is certain competitive games. The beautiful color and deep blacks improve all games and the overall experience. I love the ability to customize the experience with both in-monitor picture adjustments and via the LG calibration programs. We are very happy with the this product and will continue to use Ultragear technologies as long as they bring them out. Review submitted as part of a program that provides a purchase discount.

Clean, Fast, and Worth It
on April 15, 2026
Posted by: Charles L
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this monitor for gaming and everyday use, and it’s honestly been a big upgrade. The OLED display looks super clean and sharp, especially in darker scenes where the contrast really stands out. Everything feels smooth too, especially in fast-paced games there’s basically no blur and the response time feels instant.
Setup was easy, and the overall build quality feels premium. It just looks really good on my desk and performs even better.
If you’re looking for a high-end gaming monitor with great visuals and smooth performance, this is definitely worth it.
