LG 27 UltraGear OLED review: I finally get the 480Hz gaming hype


The 27 UltraGear is a phenomenal OLED gaming monitor, and it proves that 480Hz screens aren’t all just hype.

Together with NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology, both of which will help to reduce screen tearing, the UltraGear 27 has pretty much everything you'd want in a high-end gaming display. The first time the UltraGear 27 truly clicked for me — the point where I finally understood the hype around 480Hz displays — was during a Rocket League match.I noticed that the longer I played, the more I reached a flow state where I could easily read the position of the ball, re-orient the camera and zip off to intercept. While there are no built-in speakers, the display does include a headphone jack with support for DTS technology for spatial audio like most gaming monitors.
