Panel33.94-inch WOLED; 3440 × 1440; 21:9; 800R curve; anti-glare (matte) surface

800R means the screen curves like an arc of a circle with an 800 mm radius. Pixel pitch is 0.231 mm.

ASUS		27-inch (68.5 cm) IPS, 3840 × 2160, 16:9; anti-glare surface

At 27 inches, 4K means high pixel density; text and detail look very sharp, though Windows usually needs scaling. IPS panels offer wide viewing angles and good colour, but blacks are not as deep as OLED.

LG
Refresh rate and response240 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG); Adaptive-Sync VRR

ASUS lists VESA AdaptiveSync Display 240Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC Compatible certification.

Brightness and HDR1300 cd/m² HDR peak brightness; HDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black

ASUS gives this figure, asterisked, as peak HDR brightness; it is not sustained full-screen brightness.

ASUS		—
Colour10-bit (1.07 billion colours); DCI-P3 99%, sRGB 135%; ΔE ≤ 2; 1,500,000:1 contrast

A factory colour calibration report is in the box.

ASUS		DCI-P3 95% typical (90% minimum, CIE1976); 10-bit (8-bit + FRC), 1.07 billion colours; hardware calibration ready

8-bit + FRC imitates 10-bit gradations with rapid dithering; usually invisible to the eye. Hardware calibration writes settings to the monitor’s own memory.

LG
Video inputs1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC); 2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL); 1 × USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 90 W power)

The USB-C input can take video from a laptop over one cable while charging it at up to 90 W. All three inputs support vertical frequencies up to 240 Hz.

Stand and mountingTilt +20° / −5°, swivel ±15°, height 0–110 mm; VESA 100 × 100 mm; 1/4-inch tripod socket; Kensington lock

The tripod socket is for mounting a camera or light on top of the stand.

ASUS		Height, tilt, pivot; detachable base; cable holder and mouse cable holder

Per LG Canada dimensions, height with stand ranges from 467.7 to 577.7 mm, so about 110 mm of height adjustment. Pivot turns the screen to portrait; swivel is not listed.

LG
Size and weightWith stand 78.6 × 55.1 × 29.3 cm and 8.4 kg; without stand 78.6 × 37.2 × 16.1 cm and 5.6 kg

ASUS		With stand 613.5 × 467.7–577.7 × 253.7 mm, 6.4 kg; without stand 613.5 × 371.6 × 51.3 mm, 4.5 kg LG
Refresh rate and response time—144 Hz; 1 ms (GtG, Faster mode)

LG notes that 1 ms is only achieved with Game Adjust → Response Time → Faster. 144 Hz requires a graphics card with DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) or HDMI 2.1.

LG
Contrast and viewing angle—1000:1 typical (700:1 minimum); 178° / 178°

1000:1 is ordinary for IPS: blacks can look grey in a dark room. No local dimming is listed.

LG
HDR—HDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400; HDR Effect

DisplayHDR 400 is the entry tier of HDR certification; without local dimming, the bright-to-dark range of HDR content stays limited. HDR Effect is a picture mode that makes SDR content look more HDR-like.

LG
Adaptive sync—NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium; VRR up to 144 Hz

Matches the monitor’s refresh to the game’s frame rate, reducing tearing and stutter. According to LG, VRR needs a graphics card with DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) or HDMI 2.1.

LG
Connections—2 × HDMI (2.1), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC); USB 3.0 upstream 1, downstream 2; 4-pole headphone out (audio + mic), DTS Headphone:X

DSC (Display Stream Compression) compresses the 4K 144 Hz signal, which exceeds DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth, with no visible loss. There is no USB-C input and no built-in speakers are listed.

LG
Gaming features—Black Stabilizer, Dynamic Action Sync, Crosshair, FPS Counter, User Defined Key; Hexagon RGB LED lighting

Black Stabilizer brightens dark areas so opponents in shadow are visible; Crosshair places a fixed aiming point at screen centre. Crosshair is unavailable while FPS Counter is on.
