The LG UltraGear GX790 is a 27″ monitor with a 2560×1440 resolution (109ppi), 480Hz refresh rate, and G-Sync compatibility. This monitor uses LG’s latest generation WOLED panel, which offers near instantaneous response times (0.03ms) and true black levels that can’t be matched by any other panel type, including Mini-LED. The GX790 also boasts a 98.5% DCI-P3 color range, HDR True Black 400 certification, and is factory calibrated. Connectivity wise, the GX790 includes one DisplayPort 2.1 port (which you will need to use to get 480Hz), two HDMI 1.4 ports, and two USB 3.0 ports.
Because the GX790 combines an OLED panel with a super high refresh rate, it excels at games with a lot of fast or twitchy motion like shooters. To achieve framerates of up to 480fps at 2560×1440, you’ll need to make sure your PC is equipped with the appropriate video card. Depending on the game, you’ll probably need at least a graphics card like the GeForce RTX 4070. Games like Counter-Strike or Fortnite have less demanding needs than Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
