LG launches UltraGear 27G810A as new 4K gaming monitor with up to 360 Hz refresh rate

LG has launched a new 4K gaming monitor in China, the UltraGear 27G810A. It features a 27-inch display with dual modes, allowing users to switch between FHD and 4K resolutions. In the former, the screen can offer a 360 Hz refresh rate, and when switched to UHD, the refresh rate drops to 180 Hz.

The company further highlights that the IPS panel of this gaming monitor has 95% DCI-P3 color coverage and comes with the DisplayHDR 400 certification. This combination should lead to bright and vibrant outputs. The screen is also said to have a 1 ms (GtG) response time, promising smooth visuals.

Another gaming-centric feature of the new 27-inch LG UltraGear G8 gaming monitor is support for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. This should lead to minimized display stuttering and reduced input lag, which are quite essential for competitive games.

When it comes to the input, the LG UltraGear G8 27-inch gaming monitor has two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 ports. There's a 3.5 mm four-pole audio jack as well, which has DTS Headphone:X (HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless curr. $142.99 on Amazon), promising immersive audio with enhanced sound effects.

Among the other highlights of the new 4K gaming monitor are a built-in black stabilizer, Dynamic Action Sync, and a crosshair function. The UltraGear 27G810A launched in the Chinese market with a price tag of CNY 2,999, around $417. LG has yet to share when this 27-inch G8 monitor will be available to the global market, but it's expected to land outside China soon.
