LG UltraGear OLED 27GS95QE-B

The 27GS95QE-B is LG’s 2024 27-inch-class QHD OLED gaming monitor. It offers 240 Hz, 0.03 ms response time, DisplayHDR True Black 400, HDMI 2.1 inputs and a stand with height, tilt, swivel and pivot. Owners praise the colours and contrast; using lower brightness to reduce burn-in risk is a recurring theme.

Specifications

SpecificationValue
Panel26.5-inch (67.3 cm) OLED; 2560 × 1440; 16:9; 0.2292 mm pixel pitch

Although sold in the 27-inch class, the viewable diagonal is 26.5 inches. OLED lights each pixel itself, so there is no backlight bleed.

Speed240 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG) response time

GtG is the time a pixel takes to change from one grey level to another; lower values reduce motion blur.

Brightness and contrast275 nits typical, 250 nits minimum; contrast 1,500,000:1 typical, 1,200,000:1 minimum

LG quotes 275 nits for a full-white screen (100% average picture level); small bright areas can be brighter.

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

A printed calibration report is included. Hardware calibration uses LG Calibration Studio with a compatible meter.

Owner experiences and issues

  • In Dutch reviews on Coolblue, Eelco says colours and contrast are much better than on his old TN monitor, especially when watching films. He uses low brightness against the burn-in risk of static images on OLED and does not use the monitor for web browsing; on his computer without a graphics card he cannot go above 120 Hz. Jeffrey praises the difference from IPS, the colours in a dark room and the small stand base, and advises against direct sunlight.

    Coolblue (Netherlands), most helpful of 13 reviews; one review of the 27GX790A-B was excluded. Eelco’s 120 Hz limit comes from his own computer.
