Panel31.5-inch flat VA (vertical alignment) panel, LED edge backlight; 16:9, 3840 × 2160 (4K UHD), 139 ppi; anti-glare 3H-hardness surface

Dell lists 3000:1 contrast and 178°/178° viewing angles for this VA panel; the viewing-angle figure does not show at what angle colour and contrast start to shift.

Dell		26.5-inch (67.32 cm) OLED, 2560 × 1440 (16:9); 0.2292 mm pixel pitch; 1.07 billion colours

Because self-lit OLED pixels can switch fully off, blacks are true black; LG gives typical contrast as 1,500,000:1. 1.07 billion colours corresponds to 10-bit colour depth.

LG
Refresh rate and response time120 Hz (48–120 Hz vertical frequency); 4 ms GtG (Extreme), 5 ms GtG (Fast), 8 ms GtG (Normal); AMD FreeSync Premium

120 Hz at 4K is available over both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4; the source must also output 4K at 120 Hz. FreeSync Premium matches the refresh to the game’s frame rate within 48–120 Hz to prevent tearing; AMD’s tier also includes low framerate compensation (LFC). GtG figures are given for the fastest overdrive mode.

Dell		240 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG)

240 Hz shows 240 frames per second, making motion smoother and less blurred in fast games; this needs a graphics card producing 240 fps and a DisplayPort or HDMI 2.1 connection. GtG is the time a pixel takes to change from one grey level to another.

LG
Brightness, contrast and colour300 nits; 3000:1 contrast; 1.07 billion colours; 95% DCI-P3, 99% sRGB; HDR10

HDR10 support means the monitor accepts HDR signals; with 300 nits and edge lighting it carries no DisplayHDR tier. 1.07 billion colours corresponds to 10-bit colour depth.

Connections2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL, HDR, VRR; up to 4K 120 Hz; HDCP 2.2), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (4K 120 Hz, HDR, VRR; HDCP 2.2)

There is no USB-C, USB hub, headphone output or webcam, so a laptop cannot be charged over a single cable. A 1.8 m HDMI cable is in the box.

Eye comfortComfortView Plus; TÜV Rheinland 4-star eye comfort certification

ComfortView Plus cuts blue light to 35% or less at the hardware level; Dell says this does not affect colour accuracy.

Brightness—Typical 200 cd/m², minimum 160 cd/m²

These are full-screen SDR figures; small HDR highlights can be brighter. LG does not give a peak HDR figure in the spec table.

LG
Colour and HDR—98.5% DCI-P3 (typical), 90% (minimum); HDR10; factory calibrated; hardware calibration ready

Hardware calibration uses LG Calibration Studio and a compatible colorimeter to adjust the monitor’s own colour tables. No VESA DisplayHDR certification is listed.

LG
Adaptive sync and gaming—NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium, VRR; Black Stabiliser, Dynamic Action Sync, crosshair, FPS counter

Adaptive sync matches the monitor’s refresh to the graphics card’s frame rate to reduce tearing and stutter. Dynamic Action Sync is meant to reduce input lag.

LG
Video inputs—2 × HDMI 2.1, 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC)

DSC (Display Stream Compression) uses visually lossless compression to fit a 1440p 240 Hz signal within DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth. The HDMI 2.1 inputs support VRR on consoles. There is no USB-C video input.

LG
USB and audio—1 × USB 3.0 upstream, 2 × USB 3.0 downstream; 4-pole headphone output (sound + mic) with DTS Headphone:X; optical digital audio out (S/PDIF)

There are no built-in speakers. DTS Headphone:X gives virtual 3D audio over headphones.
