Panel26.5-inch (27-inch class) OLED, 16:9

The actual viewable diagonal is 26.5 inches.

LG
33.94-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
Resolution and pixel pitch2560 × 1440 (QHD); 0.2292 mm pixel pitch

QHD at 27 inches means lower pixel density than 4K; small text looks less crisp but high frame rates are easier to reach on the GPU.

LG
—
Refresh rate480 Hz

480 Hz means up to 480 frames per second; seeing that benefit requires the game and GPU to deliver close to 480 fps.

LG
—
Response time0.03 ms (GtG)

Grey-to-grey pixel transition time; it is not input lag.

LG
—
BrightnessTypical 275 cd/m² (min 250); HDR peak at 1.5% APL typical 1,300 cd/m² (min 1,040)

1,300 nits applies only to small highlights covering 1.5% of the screen; on a full white screen OLED automatic brightness limiting kicks in.

LG
—
Contrast1,500,000:1 (typical)

OLED pixels can switch fully off, so black level is near zero; LG’s page notes the figure is measured at 25% APL.

LG
—
ColourDCI-P3 98.5% (CIE 1976); 10-bit (1.07 billion colours)

The sheet lists a paper calibration report in the box.

LG
10-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
HDRHDR10; VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400

True Black is the VESA HDR tier for very low black-level displays such as OLED.

LG
—
Variable refreshVESA AdaptiveSync; NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

Variable refresh matches the panel to the GPU frame rate to reduce tearing and stutter. LG’s page also lists VESA ClearMR 21000 certification.

Inputs2× HDMI (HDMI 2.1 FRL compliant); 1× DisplayPort 2.1

FRL is the high-bandwidth transfer mode of HDMI 2.1. There is no USB-C video input.

LG
—
USB and audioUSB 3.0: 1 upstream, 2 downstream; 4-pole headphone out (sound + mic); DTS Headphone:X

No built-in speakers are listed.

LG

StandTilt -5°/15°; swivel -30°/30°; height 110 mm; clockwise pivot; VESA 100 × 100

It has a tool-free 1Click stand mount and hexagonal RGB lighting on the back.

LG

PowerExternal adapter, 100–240 V; under 0.5 W in sleep, under 0.3 W off

The sheet does not list typical power consumption.

LG
31 W consumption; external power adapter; 100–240 V ASUS
Burn-in careOLED Care

LG says the feature helps prevent burn-in from static high-contrast images left on screen for long periods but may not prevent all image retention.

Refresh rate and response—240 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG); Adaptive-Sync VRR

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

ASUS
Brightness and HDR—1300 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
Video inputs—1 × 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.

ASUS
Other connections and features—USB hub: 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1 × USB 2.0 Type-A; KVM switch; optical audio (S/PDIF) out; headphone out; no built-in speakers; proximity sensor

With KVM a keyboard and mouse plugged into the monitor can be shared between two computers.

ASUS
Stand and mounting—Tilt +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.
