How many Hz is good for gaming?
It depends on what—and how—you play. For most gamers, 144Hz is the minimum entry point for 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 includes models that go from 144Hz to 480Hz, all designed to keep up with the action while minimizing lag and screen tearing.

How to pick a gaming monitor:
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 panels. Don’t forget adaptive sync tech like NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility or AMD FreeSync™ Premium to eliminate screen tearing. LG’s UltraGear™ series offers a range of gaming monitors tailored to your play style—from casual console gaming to high-intensity PC competition.

Is 1440p or 4K better for gaming?
Both have their strengths. Some say 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™ monitors offer both QHD and 4K options, so whether you prioritize speed or stunning visuals, there’s a perfect fit for your setup. If you want to go beyond 1440p and 4K, check out our 5K 45-inch OLED curved gaming monitor, providing top-of-the-line performance.

Is OLED better than 4K for gaming?
It’s not either-or—OLED and 4K can work together beautifully. OLED gives you unbeatable contrast, perfect blacks, and incredibly fast response times, while 4K delivers sharp, immersive detail. Combine the two and you get stunning visuals with minimal blur and input lag. LG’s OLED gaming monitors bring this duo to life, offering an elite setup that’s as responsive as it is visually breathtaking. Whether you’re raiding at night or racing at full throttle, OLED + 4K changes the way you play.
