Panel26.5-inch OLED, 4th-generation Primary RGB Tandem; 2560 × 1440 (QHD), 0.2292 mm pixel pitch

In a tandem structure light comes from more than one OLED layer; LG associates this with higher brightness and lifetime.

LG		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 and response280 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG) LG—
BrightnessTypical 335 cd/m², minimum 300 cd/m²; up to 1500 nits peak according to LG

The peak value applies to a small part of the screen in HDR content; brightness on a full white screen is much lower.

LG		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.

Contrast and colour1,500,000:1; DCI-P3 99.5%; 1.07 billion colours

The monitor is factory calibrated and ready for hardware calibration.

Refresh rate and response time—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
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.
