Our verdict
LG's 27GX790B pushes a 1440p tandem WOLED panel to 540Hz, with a dual mode that drops to 720p for 720Hz. RTINGS praises its sharp motion, low input lag, deep blacks without haloing and strong HDR highlights, and T3 calls its picture close to flawless. The matte coating suits bright rooms better than glossy QD-OLED rivals. RTINGS notes distracting VRR flicker and HDR accuracy issues, and the full list price is high for a 1440p monitor.
