New 27-inch gaming monitor delivers 280 Hz refresh, 0.03 ms response time, and 4th Gen Tandem OLED tech
A New Era in OLED Gaming Displays
LG has officially introduced the UltraGear OLED 27GX700A, its first gaming monitor built with the company’s 4th Gen Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel. The new panel technology delivers substantial improvements in efficiency, brightness, and color performance, marking a significant leap in OLED monitor design.
- 20% more energy-efficient than previous WOLED displays.
- Offers up to 1,500 nits peak brightness, a 15% increase over earlier OLED gaming monitors.
Premium Performance Specs for Competitive Gamers
The 27GX700A isn’t just about panel efficiency. It also features cutting-edge performance metrics aimed at esports and enthusiast gamers.
- 280 Hz refresh rate ensures ultra-smooth motion handling.
- Blazing-fast 0.03 ms GtG response time eliminates motion blur.
- Delivers a native 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution for sharp visuals.
This combination allows players to experience fast-paced gameplay with razor-sharp clarity and minimal input lag.
Enhanced Visual Fidelity and Certification Support
With its 99.5% DCI-P3 color coverage, the 27GX700A ensures exceptional color accuracy across a wide gamut.
- Supports VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, enhancing contrast and black depth.
- Certified Clear Motion Rate 13000, a mark of high responsiveness and motion clarity.
The new panel enables realistic HDR performance, particularly in dark scenes—crucial for immersive gaming in visually complex environments.
Built on Next-Gen OLED Innovation
The 4th Gen Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel, manufactured by LG Display, represents a major innovation:
- Uses RGB subpixels rather than the traditional white OLED (WOLED) approach.
- Provides better color saturation and uniform brightness.
- Expected to be featured in other monitors, including Gigabyte’s MO27Q28G, unveiled at Computex 2025.
This tandem structure enhances luminance and lifespan, two key areas where OLED monitors have traditionally lagged.
Positioning and Product Comparison
While it shares a similar form factor with the earlier UltraGear OLED 27GX790A (also a 27″ QHD OLED model), the 27GX700A brings tangible hardware improvements:

|---|---|---|
| Panel Tech | 4th Gen RGB Tandem OLED | Earlier WOLED |
| Peak Brightness | Up to 1,500 nits | ~1,300 nits (est.) |
| Efficiency | 20% more efficient | Standard |
| Refresh Rate | 280 Hz | Similar |
| Color Coverage | 99.5% DCI-P3 | Comparable |
| Launch Status | Unconfirmed release date | Available now ($799.99) |
Awaiting Launch Details
While LG has not confirmed a release date for the 27GX700A, anticipation is high given its advanced specs and panel innovation.
- It is expected to launch sometime in late 2025, aligning with LG Display’s mass production timeline.
- Pricing details remain under wraps, but it may debut at a premium tier above the 27GX790A.
