LG has a new 480Hz OLED gaming monitor
LG took the wraps off its latest OLED gaming monitor – the 27GX790A UltraGear. This is a 27-inch WOLED (White OLED) display with QHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440) and a record-setting 480Hz refresh rate – the fastest refresh rate on a QHD OLED monitor to date. Note that you’ll need a graphics card that supports DisplayPort 2.1 to achieve the maximum fps values.
