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

The actual viewable diagonal is 26.5 inches.

LG
44.5-inch WOLED, 21:9, 800R curve; 5120 × 2160 (5K2K), 0.2035 mm pixel pitch (about 125 ppi); MLA+

800R means the screen curves along a circle with an 80 cm radius, so the edges sit closer to the eyes. MLA+ (micro lens array) directs OLED pixel light forward to raise brightness.

LG
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.

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
2 × HDMI, 1 × DisplayPort 2.1 (DSC), 1 × USB-C (5120 × 2160 at 165 Hz, data, 90 W power); 2 × USB 3.0 downstream; 4-pole headphone/mic

DSC compresses the image visually losslessly so high resolution and refresh rate fit through one cable. USB-C gives a laptop video, data and 90 W charging over one cable. LG notes NVIDIA released a driver in April 2025 that fixed screen blackouts seen over DisplayPort.

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
External adapter (20 V / 18 A); under 0.5 W in sleep LG
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.

Size and weightWith stand 23.8 × 22.8 × 9.8 in (raised), 20.5 lb; without stand 23.8 × 13.8 × 1.8 in, 11.2 lb

About 9.3 kg with stand, about 5.1 kg without.

LG
With stand 991.6 × 545.6–665.6 × 342 mm, 14 kg; without stand 991.6 × 460.7 × 225.5 mm, 9.4 kg LG
In the boxPower cord, DisplayPort 2.1 cable, HDMI 2.1 cable, USB A-to-B cable, paper calibration report LG—
Refresh rate and response—165 Hz at 5K2K; 330 Hz at WFHD with VESA-certified Dual-Mode; 0.03 ms (GtG)

Dual-Mode doubles the refresh rate by lowering the resolution: 330 Hz for fast competitive games, 5K2K at 165 Hz for detailed games.

LG
Brightness and HDR—275 cd/m² typical (minimum 250); HDR10, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400; DCI-P3 98.5%; 10-bit; contrast 1,500,000:1 (typical)

DisplayHDR True Black 400 is VESA’s certification for screens that can turn black fully off, such as OLED, and requires 400 nits peak brightness.

LG
Sync—NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, VRR

Variable refresh rate matches the monitor to the graphics card’s frame rate, reducing tearing and stutter.

LG
PiP and PbP—PIP and 2-source PBP

PiP shows one source in a small window, and PbP splits the screen to show two sources side by side, for example a computer and a game console at once.
