Start with your priorities. Want crisp visuals? Go for 4K resolution. Need ultra-smooth motion? Prioritize a high refresh rate (144Hz or more) and low response time. If you're after deep contrast and color accuracy, consider OLED or Nano IPS, Nano IPS black panels. Don’t forget adaptive sync tech like NVIDIA G-SYNC or AMD FreeSync™ Premium to eliminate screen tearing. 

LG’s UltraGear™ series offers a range of gaming monitors tailored to your playstyle—from casual console gaming to high-intensity PC competition.

Refresh rate, calculated in Hertz (Hz) refers to how many images in a display are updated within one second. For example, a 120 Hz indicates that the display refreshes 120 times per second. Gaming monitors with high refresh rates offers smoother visuals with less screen tearing. 

For most gamers, 144Hz hits the sweet spot for fluid, responsive gameplay. Competitive players may want even faster refresh rates like 240Hz for that extra edge in fast-paced shooters or esports titles. LG’s lineup of UltraGear™ Gaming Monitors include models that go from 144Hz to 480Hz (when used in dual mode, LG's models support 165Hz and 330Hz OR 240Hz and 480Hz)*, all designed to keep up with the action while minimizing lag and screen tearing. 

It depends on what—and how—you play. Many gamers go with 144Hz for fluid, responsive gameplay. Competitive players may want faster refresh rates like 240Hz for that extra edge in fast-paced shooters or esports titles. LG’s lineup of UltraGear™ Gaming Monitors includes models that go from 144Hz to 240Hz and 480Hz, all designed to keep up with the action while minimizing lag and screen tearing.

*Actual refresh rates may vary depending on computer graphics specifications and configurations.

IPS panels deliver an impressive color performance. They are best for gamers who like to take in the visuals of the game as intended by the artists. They are ideal for RPG and open world games.

VA panels have the most contrast among the LCD varieties. While they do not have the response time of TN panels, they perform nearly as well. 

If you want a more immersive gaming experience, curved gaming monitors are a great choice.

The curvature helps keep your eyes focused on the center of the screen naturally, which is great for long gaming sessions.

LG's UltraGear GX9 supports 800R curvature and 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio, delivering immersive visuals and an ideal viewing distance. At a 800mm viewing distance, its 800R curvature creates a viewing angle of 90 degrees across both the center and the edges - pulling you deeper into the game. (링크)

Both have their strengths. For many gamers, 1440p (QHD) hits a sweet spot between resolution and performance, especially for competitive gaming where frame rate matters most. It’s easier to push higher FPS without overloading your GPU. 4K, on the other hand, is all about detail and immersion—perfect for single-player adventures or next-gen console play. LG’s UltraGear™ gaming monitors offer both QHD and 4K options, so whether you prioritize speed or stunning visuals, there’s a perfect fit for your setup.

Connecting your gaming monitor via USB-C* is simple—just plug one end of the cable of your gaming monitor into your device’s USB-C port, and you’re good to go. 

You can charge your laptop too if your PC is connected to your monitor with a USB-C port.

*Supported model may vary.

DisplayPort 2.1*, which is the latest version of the DisplayPort standard, delivers ultra-fast data speeds for flawless high refresh rate gameplay. 

It is developed by VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) to provide high-performance display connectivity for computers and monitors.

Many of LG’s latest models support DisplayPort 2.1, which doubles the bandwidth of DP 1.4. That means you get higher resolutions, smoother frame rates, and lower latency—perfect for fast-paced gaming. 

*Important Update: NVIDIA has released the GeForce Hotfix Display Driver 576.26 (April 28, 2025) to resolve screen blackouts when connecting to DisplayPort 2.1 on NVIDIA RTX 50 series GPUs. NVIDIA GPU users should download and install the latest display driver before connecting their DP2.1-supported monitors.

With HDMI 2.1 supported, you’ll enjoy features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and support for 4K at up to 120Hz. Whether you’re gaming on a console or PC, these upgrades give you the flexibility and performance to match any setup.

The different modes serve to prevent burn-in of the monitors by adjusting the screen little by little (at least 8 pixel units) and is divided into 4 modes depending on the direction and amount of movement.

It moves a set amount and in a set direction every minute, except for 2 minutes at the initial start.

Mode 1 & Mode 3 move in the horizontal and vertical directions and draw a rectangle.

Mode 1 moves longer than Mode 3.

Mode 2 & 4 move once in the upward direction at first, then move diagonally and draw a diamond.

Mode 2 moves longer than Mode 4.

Mode 2 has the greatest movement.
