Q: How to pick a gaming monitor?

A: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. 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.

Q: What is the refresh rate of a gaming monitor?

A: Refresh rate, calculated in Hertz (Hz) refers to how many displays 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 offer 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 240Hz and beyond (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. 

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

Q: How many hertz is good for gaming?

A: 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. In 2025, LG's QHD monitors will support refresh rates that go over 180Hz.

Q: What is the difference between IPS and VA panels?

A: 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.

Q: Should I get a curved monitor?

A: 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 edge - pulling you deeper into the game.

Q: Is 1440p or 4K better for gaming?

A: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.

Q: What is HDMI 2.1?
A: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.
