LG 27GX700A-B

Ranked #11 in Gaming Monitors

500 LP on the category ladder what's LP?

RTINGS' near-instantaneous response-time assessment and 280Hz refresh make it excellent for competitive play. It ranks below the LCD options because the ownership lens treats OLED longevity as more important than a small advantage in motion clarity.

I just picked up this monitor as my first oled and I just feel underwhelmed. I wanted to get some opinions on whether I just had unrealistic expectations or if the monitor is, in fact, the issue. To start, I seem to have gotten lucky and there's no obvious banding issues that others have reported. The HDR is extremely washed out when web browsing or doing anything that isn't HDR content.

In this review of the LG 27GX700A-B, LG’s first 4th-generation tandem W-OLED / 4-layer WOLED gaming monitor, I test its real-world performance as a 27-inch 1440p 280Hz OLED gaming monitor with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 to see if it actually delivers on LG’s claims of higher brightness, better HDR, and wider color gamut.

Im using this monitor now and its too bright for my 35 year old eyes. I have brightness set to 68 and contrast on 60 and thats still bright and punchy. It strains my eyes to read. Hope this helps someone worried about the brightness levels.

The LG 27GX700A-B is a newer OLED gaming monitor than the LG 27GX790A-B. They have many of the same features, but have WOLED panels from different generations. The 27GX700A-B utilizes the newer RGB Tandem OLED panel. There are some other differences, like the fact that the 27GX790A-B has a higher refresh rate.

I just got mine yesterday and will be returning it. The text clarity is poor. Win11 display setting is 1440p resolution at 100% Recommended Scaling. It's blurry. Other monitors I have are MSI 321UP 4k QD-OLED, Gigabyte G27Q 1440P 144Hz, LG 27GR93U 4K 144Hz. 27GX700A is the worse. I turned up Sharpness in Settings to 80 (default 50) and it helped but still bad.

I wouldn't buy this because I've been using 4K for the last five years and it's only 1440. Furthermore text clarity is poor at 1440 especially without ClearText. I'm looking forward to seeing tandem WOLED with higher resolution and probably 32" size.
