Panel26.5-inch flat QD-OLED; 3840 × 2160; 10-bit (1.07 billion colours)

In QD-OLED, light from a blue OLED layer is converted to red and green by quantum dots; because each pixel emits its own light, blacks switch off completely. 4K in the 27-inch class gives very sharp text at about 166 ppi.

MSI		44.5-inch (113 cm) OLED, 800R curve; 3440 × 1440 (21:9); 0.303 mm pixel pitch

800R means the screen curves like part of a circle with an 800 mm radius, wrapping the edges around your view. At 45 inches, 1440p gives low pixel density: up close, text and fine detail look less sharp than on a 27-inch 1440p screen.

LG
Refresh and response240 Hz (adaptive range 48–240 Hz); 0.03 ms GtG

4K 240 Hz is reached over DisplayPort 2.1a or HDMI 2.1. 0.03 ms is pixel transition time, not total input lag.

MSI		—
Adaptive syncG-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

Matching refresh rate to the GPU frame rate reduces tearing and stutter.

MSI		—
Brightness and HDRSDR 250 nits; HDR 450 nits at 10% APL, 1000 nits peak at 3% APL; DisplayHDR True Black 400

1000 nits is reached only when a very small part of the screen is bright; OLED brightness drops markedly on a full white screen. True Black 400 is the VESA tier for OLEDs that also measures black level.

MSI		—
Colour and contrastDCI-P3 99%, Adobe RGB 98%, sRGB 138% (CIE 1976); 1,500,000:1 typical contrast

138% of sRGB means the panel can oversaturate standard content; use the sRGB mode for accurate colour.

MSI		—
Video inputs1 × DisplayPort 2.1a (UHBR20); 2 × HDMI 2.1 (UHD 240 Hz); 1 × USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 98 W PD)

UHBR20 offers 80 Gbit/s, enough to carry 4K 240 Hz 10-bit without compression, provided the GPU also supports DP 2.1 UHBR20. USB-C delivers video, data and up to 98 W laptop charging over one cable.

MSI		—
USB and audio2 × USB-A 5 Gbit/s; 1 × USB-B 5 Gbit/s (upstream); headphone out; no built-in speakers MSI—
KVM and multi-viewKVM; PiP and PbP

KVM shares a keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor between two computers. PiP shows one source in a small window, PbP shows two sources side by side.

Refresh rate and response time—240 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG)

240 Hz shows very smooth motion when a game approaches 240 frames per second, which needs a powerful graphics card. 0.03 ms grey-to-grey describes the fast transition of OLED pixels; it is not total input lag.

LG
Brightness and contrast—200 cd/m² typical (160 minimum); typical contrast 1,500,000:1

LG’s typical brightness refers to a full-screen SDR image; with self-emissive OLED pixels black switches fully off, giving very high contrast.

LG
Colour—DCI-P3 98.5% (typical, CIE1976), 90% minimum; 1.07 billion colours; factory calibrated; hardware calibration ready

Hardware calibration writes settings into the monitor itself through LG Calibration Studio, so the colour setup stays with the monitor even if the computer changes.

LG
HDR and sync—HDR10, HDR effect; NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium, VRR

G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium match the refresh rate to the graphics card’s frame rate to reduce tearing and stutter. HDR effect is a picture mode that adds HDR-like contrast to SDR content in software; it is not real HDR.

LG
Gaming features—Black Stabilizer, Dynamic Action Sync, crosshair, FPS counter, user-defined key, auto input switch

Black Stabilizer brightens detail in dark scenes; Dynamic Action Sync is a mode that reduces input lag.

LG
PiP—Picture-in-picture (PiP)

PiP shows a second input in a small window over the main picture, for example a PC and a console at the same time. LG does not list PbP (side-by-side split) for this model.

LG
Connections—2 × HDMI, 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), 1 × USB 3.0 upstream, 2 × USB 3.0 downstream, optical digital audio out (S/PDIF), 4-pole headphone out (sound + mic)

DSC (Display Stream Compression) compresses high-bandwidth signals such as 3440 × 1440 at 240 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 without visible loss. With the USB upstream connected, the monitor’s USB-A ports act as a hub for the computer. A headset with a mic plugs into the 4-pole jack; DTS Headphone:X adds virtual surround. No built-in speakers are listed.

LG
Lighting and control—Hexagon RGB lighting on the back; remote control; OnScreen Control and Dual Controller software LG
In the box—DisplayPort cable, USB A-to-B cable, remote control

Box contents can vary by country.
