the one the only the LG 27gr95qe it's a Ultra gear OLED 240 hertz what else can you ask for it's a 27 inch screen 1440p and it's fast so we've seen this panel from a lot of other manufacturers LG display makes them all though and then LG Electronics their sister company will take the same panel and make it for themselves so let's open this box and see what we got we gotta stand it's got you know basically my favorite design although I wouldn't mind if they had a bit more uh column here to make it more sturdy but it's just your standard you know connect them and screw it in kind of guy we got the rest of our stand here oh one thing we can see here it's got a little NVIDIA g-sync badge the shot this guy should be g-sync capable and freesync capable but not freesync premium Pro or g-sync ultimate which is fine honestly variable refresh rate and adaptive sync technology has gotten really good and it works on basically every monitor now well on a high-end game monitor seems sturdy enough oh there's a pretty heavy box tons of cables Ultra certified cable HDMI ultra high speed oh baby this should be HDMI 2.1 it's a 1440p 240 hertz display so you're going to want a really good cable uh to reach those specs we got our USB B cable we got our cable protector here cable cover very nice keep your cables covered on the back I would prefer something that's fully integrated into the stand rather than having a cable cover on the back like this but this is perfectly fine it's still good enough and the reality is you don't even need to use the cable management stuff it just looks pretty once you're done it comes with a remote you may have watched it already you may not have we did a 45 inch of basically a similar panel and it also came with a remote and I was pleasantly surprised I don't think personally that I'll ever use the remote but it's cool you know it's good to have we've got our handy dandy power brick and our handy dandy probably Korean power plug luckily we got a travel adapter so I don't even have to go get a C13 we're good to go actually it's a C8 I think the Mickey Mouse plug I can never remember and a DisplayPort cable if you don't want to use HDMI there could be a lot of reasons for that maybe your graphics card doesn't support HDMI 2.1 actually that's like the only reason I can think of but yeah you got a DisplayPort if you want to use that display quality assurance report okay so they're telling us that we're gonna have a max value of a Delta e of less than five for the max values that's pretty good because that's not just the average if all of them are lower than five then there's a good chance that especially with the OLED Black Level coming in at like basically zero error there's a good chance that's like averaging out at less than two tells you about the gamma value and the color temperature and stuff that was tested at which is fine one thing that's interesting is that this guy was tested at 8 500 Kelvin I think the other one was 6 500 Kelvin either way uh we're just going to put that in there put this all back in the box and forget about it because I don't want to see these documents one minor thing I don't like Styrofoam I really wish they would switch to like some kind of foam system that isn't made of styro okay I love these uh packaging materials the only problem is when it's like this and there's no seam or split or when it's on the side especially and not on the bottom because on the bottom you can just like lift it up and get that in there no problem but as you can see I'm gonna have to like if I don't like splitting it open like this because I want to reuse this foam if I ever have to pack it up again like we can manage here but you know I had to rip this part open and move it around it's just a lot easier when the seam is on the bottom so you can just go up and insert it like that but you know no harm no foul look at that I like how light it is already as much as I love giant monitors uh they're heavy and they can be a major pain to both move around and cable manage and do all that stuff like whenever you've got to move it for any reason it's just kind of a nightmare versus this you know this was easy because we've got an OLED and because the power brick isn't integrated come on peel peel I have to I have to get out of there because of that this thing is super thin and it honestly looks really pretty even just from the side and the back and I'm digging the design here they've got this kind of hexagonal shape that I don't understand why everyone's doing The Cooler Master hexagon you guys have gotta like find something else make this is flat you know I'd be fine with like a flat squared off back whatever not a big deal this should all be RGB along the sides here and then we've got the LG or Ultra gear logo here I'm not sure which looks like an l and a u maybe that's on purpose I don't know on the back we've got a decent amount of i o we have a couple of HDMI 2.1 ports DisplayPort 1.4 Optical out and then USB bead a on the other side and a couple of USB a ports right before we get to our DC in for our power plug we've also got a Kensington lock and a headphone jack on the bottom here and we finally got our power button way on the bottom here in the middle there's no navigation nipple because you've got the cool remote we'll get to that later for now what I want to mention is I actually really like the way LG does a lot of their i o I use a couple LG monitors at my desk and it's really handy having the plugs just go straight out the back like this instead of trying to like get them up into some weird area and then covering it with a cable cover this is just easy you're not going to have to think too hard when you're trying trying to set everything up and you're not going to have like struggle with the DisplayPort cable or something like that so it's a really minor thing but it's something I like now the stand let's check it out let's check it out what can this bad boy do what can this 27 inch sweet sweet 240 hertz OLED do first up can't pivot that way but hey I don't know why you would ever want to Pivot an OLED monitor especially one that's 240 hertz and then run it in portrait mode but you know what if you're just that baller that your side displays are this thousand dollar 240 hertz display go for it uh what else has it got it's got height adjustment pretty good amount too it's not bad swivel not a ton of swivel I would actually like a bit more swivel but this is fine and then tilt gonna Bounce It tilt that's not bad there's two main advantages to going with a smaller 27 inch screen like this now the first one is that it's not going to jiggle as much when you're gaming because there's not as much weight on the display itself like yeah obviously you shake the desk the monitor is going to shake too but it's not like to the point where you feel like you need it to be on a monitor ARM because it's constantly destabilizing whenever you do something as simple as move your mouse the other main advantage is that while this is 27 inches it's also 1440p so you're getting something like 108 PPI which is well above the 100 that's kind of the minimum for a lot of people to confirm that it looks good we're going to turn on in a sec but not before a word from our sponsor secret Lab secret lab chairs are

anything goes wrong head to the link in the description below and check out secret lab today here you know what I'm gonna do first I'm gonna plug some stuff in before I take it over there Pro tip for anyone who is setting up a monitor plug in your stuff ahead of time ideally and then you just like run it down the back of your desk it's no problem it's easy one kind of minor complaint is that while I love the RGB on the sides here it doesn't go all the way across the top as well or on the bottom it's really not a big deal but it's something that I would like to see in future revisions just have it go all the way across the top you know come full circle minor thing but hey you're paying a lot of money one thing that instantly stands out to me not necessarily in the best way but not in a terrible way either is this kind of chin here on the bottom that's housing the power button that is lit up by the way the power button is lit and then you've got this other sensor here and that's got to be for the remote I don't know if they could have done it better because the sensor does take some space they maybe could have put like a tiny little module on the side and I would have preferred that I think but either way it's not a big deal it's not all that distracting I just kind of happen to notice it minor correction it's it's not actually the power button itself that's lit up there's a tiny light just behind it so okay they could have just made the power button glow but that's fine we're gonna try the OSD with the handy dandy remote so I guess my only issue is there's like no other buttons anywhere that I can see or feel so if this power button just turns it on and off man you can use this but it's one of those like single button press and hold to make a selection and then every press just goes along the bar it is usable but these suck I hate them LG I really wish you would have just kept a navigation nipple uh while the remote is a super nice inclusion and I am a big fan of it actually you don't always want to use a remote you know you don't want to go looking for it like I'm not going to keep this on my desk somewhere I'm probably just going to stash it away and never touch it but you know to each their own as for the OSD it's not bad we've got you know your typical like game adjustment mode so whether you want gamer or you have like gamer 2 FPS these are just changing like how cool or how bright it is variable refresh rate features it does do freesync premium as well as it's g-sync compatible so that's great black stabilization sure Crosshair you can turn it on if you want same with the FPS counter I personally never do then we've got just your typical brightness contrast sharpness gamma color oh actually being able to change the game is kind of nice it's becoming much more common both in high-end monitors and lower end monitors but it's always nice to to see it as an option there and then it looks like there's RGB as well that you can change so you can change the individual colors manually yourself it's grayed out I don't know how to enable it you might have to be in a specific mode but that's okay we're just going to stick with gamer one this is actually really neat I don't think I've seen this in basically any other monitor it's probably there and I just haven't noticed it before but this has got a total power on time measured in hours that's really cool actually so what you can do especially because it's an OLED and so you actually care about burn-in and image retention and all that say if someone's selling one of these three years down the line you're not going to know how bright they were running it or whatever but you can at least know how long it's been powered on for which is kind of Handy you don't see that a lot in a lot of electronics like wouldn't it be great if your GPU just had a little clock cycle on it and it could be like yeah this GPU has been active for like two years yeah that'd be cool yeah it's actually really handy I like that LG I like that a lot okay so there's the OSD for you it looks like it's already running at 240 hertz but HDR is turned off we want to turn that on because this is an OLED display so every pixel is a dimming Zone and I think this is rated at a thousand nits so you're only going to get that in little like one percent to three percent little Peak brightness kind of glints on the screen but it's still really nice and if it can Peak at a thousand then it can probably do something anywhere from about 400 to 600 all white full screen 10 bit color 25 560 by 1440p 240 hertz we're going to check out the HDR and the color quality it can do a whopping 98.5 percent of DCI P3 and you saw that it came calibrated from the factory the classic Kyoto cherry blossom that you've seen us look at a hundred times before if you've been following the channel it looks good just like look at the blues like the color diversity here I mean I know that you're seeing a lot of like white and blue and pink in all of these cherry blossoms and stuff but then when you stop and you look at the contrasting colors like all of those green and the like the blue on that guy's jacket and stuff it's just crazy how good displays look these days compared to stuff 5 10 20 years ago like I grew up on garbage well I didn't say garbage but I grew up on like comparatively spec wise terrible CRT TVs and I was always pining for and waiting for that like really big jump in technology I was never a big LCD fan when they came out I could feel that input lag right away way and it felt terrible so I am just so on board with OLED I've been waiting like 20 years for this stuff to become mainstream and I think we're finally kind of there wow it's absolutely stunning even with LG's white OLED it still just looks super good um the contrast is insane I like that they're now going with a 1.5 million to one contrast ratio instead of some people when it comes to OLED they'll try to say it's an infinite contrast ratio and I it's just terrible marketing I don't like that but they're sticking to 1.5 million to one and that seems pretty reasonable you're getting over a billion colors with 10 bit color and it really does look incredible even this red on the umbrella or parasol or whatever God the lights on the uniforms and that sign those Blues they just pop and look great but you know what it's 240 hertz it's OLED we got a game on it it looks gorgeous I'm pretty terrible at playing Spider-Man with the mouse and keyboard I only just figured out how to web swing but you know what that's fine this looks so pretty and I mean we're only getting like 130 140 FPS so with this game in particular with like Ray tracing turned on and all that we're not even taking advantage of what this display can really do which is 240 hertz uh we'll play CS go briefly I just wanted to look at something that's a bit more vibrant and colorful and interesting and God it really just does look gorgeous you're floating around at Ultra at super high speeds because you're Spider-Man and just nothing looks blurry like it all looks crisp no matter what you're doing it just looks clear as day I love how fast the pixel response time of OLED is is just like so wild it's .03 milliseconds oh okay let's check out CS go I gotta try I gotta try a fast-paced game I don't know how to explain it like the difference from 60 to 120 is massive and the difference from 120 to 240 is not nearly as massive absolutely not but you know what I think I'm finally starting to like really notice that difference now that I've used a lot more like 240 hertz displays it's not something that you need however it is definitely a nice to have and especially with OLED just having such crazy pixel response times you might as well take even more advantage of it by giving it a really a high refresh rate as well see I just killed both I just killed three Bots are they Bots yes but did I kill them also yes the only real problem with this monitor because otherwise it's fantastic and I would love to own this thing I would you know I already have a different display but like it's hard to go wrong with 240Hz OLED but it is a little pricey it's 27 inches 1440p in 2023 and you're going to be paying a thousand dollars that being said just a year or two ago to get this exact same display maybe not 240 hertz because it wasn't even out yet then but like let's say OLED 165 27 inches you'd be paying a very similar price if not more so the fact that you can get a 1440p screen at 27 inches which is basically like the universal um sweet spot for 1440p now that you can get it for like a grand it honestly might be worth upgrading to a lot of people especially if you're watching more and more HDR content and you don't already have like a really good movie or game screen that you can use for HDR if you can afford it I think it's worth the upgrade and yeah LG has really just they've outdone themselves they've crushed it they've knocked it out of the park there are going to be other options you know if you don't want LG specifically Acer's got their own version of this panel ASUS has got their own version of this panel so if you prefer those Brands you can you can go with them if you want to but I'll be honest I actually love the back I O for the LG versions and I also really like their stand it's pretty versatile it's really minimal it's pretty Sleek I'm happy with this thing overall the chin you know what I I completely forgot about it after I started like using the Monitor and talking to you guys again so whatever I I complained about it before I don't even care anymore strike it editor cut that cut that from the record we don't we don't need that this is the LG 27 gr 95qe yeah that took a little while but I got there uh and we had a little too much fun unboxing it to be honest I can't even stop playing Counter-Strike on it it's just so clean thanks for watching guys this is ShortCircuit this is the 27 gr95qe from LG it's a fantastic OLED display if you want to look at another OLED display maybe check out the 45 gr95qe"}
