LG Electronics has revealed details of its first dedicated gaming monitor based on the new Primary RGB Tandem OLED that debuted in its flagship G5 OLED television earlier this year.
While other monitor brands like Gigabyte, Asus and MSI have all unveiled new monitors based on the new display technology, LG had not yet done so, until now.
The new Primary RGB Tandem OLED display is a big deal for gamers, running 20% more efficiently than previous-generation WOLED panels. In addition, it will allow LG’s upcoming UltraGear OLED 27GX700A to deliver 1,500 nits peak brightness, representing a 15% improvement on its current best OLED gaming monitors.
The LG UltraGear OLED 27GX700A was revealed this week in a video posted on the company's South Korean social media channels, about a month after LG Display – LG’s display making subsidiary – said it has started mass producing the fourth generation Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel at its factories in Guangzhou, China and Paju, South Korea. That announcement means LG Display should be able to deliver the panel to monitor makers such as Gigabyte, and also its parent company LG Electronics, in time for their late summer 2025 monitor launches.
We don’t yet have the full specifications for the LG UltraGear OLED 27GX700A monitor announced this week, but it almost certainly has the same panel as Gigabyte’s MO27Q28G, which was unveiled in May at the Computex 2025 event.
What we do know is that the LG UltraGear OLED 27GX700A is a 27-inch monitor with 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution, just like the MO27Q28G, and both monitors advertise 1,500 nits peak brightness. LG says that this brightness is measured in a small window, so it doesn’t mean the entire panel can hit such heights all at the same time.
Other specifications published show that the LG UltraGear OLED 27GX700A offers an impressive 99.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, and has a blazing-fast 280Hz refresh rate that’s complemented by its 0.003 millisecond grey-to-grey response time. It also boasts VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 Clear Motion Rate 13000 certification, the company said.
Although LG has revealed the UltraGear OLED 27GX700A monitor, it hasn’t yet said when the product will go on sale.
Anyone interested in buying it should be careful not to confuse the monitor with LG’s existing UltraGear OLED 27GX790A, which launched earlier this year and is fitted with an older, 3rd generation MLA OLED panel.
