Last month, the company announced that it had commenced mass production of its 4th Gen Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel through its LG Display division. LG Display was anticipated to supply this panel to manufacturers such as Gigabyte, aiming for product launches in late summer 2025.

Monitor Overview

The new product, named the UltraGear OLED 27GX700A, seems to utilize the same panel technology as the MO27Q28G that Gigabyte displayed at Computex 2025 in May. It’s important to note that this new monitor is distinct from the UltraGear OLED 27GX790A, which LG launched earlier in the year (currently priced at $799.99 on Amazon).

Performance Comparison

Both the UltraGear OLED 27GX700A and 27GX790A measure 27 inches diagonally and offer native resolutions of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. Nevertheless, the former is expected to operate approximately 20% more efficiently than the latter, while also achieving around 15% greater peak brightness.

Specifications & Features

According to LG, the UltraGear OLED 27GX700A can reach brightness levels of up to 1,500 nits, although this is likely only achievable across a limited area of the screen at any given moment. In addition to this, the monitor boasts 99.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and a refresh rate of 280 Hz, along with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 and Clear Motion Rate 13000 certifications. As of now, it remains uncertain when LG will launch its first gaming monitor featuring the 4th Gen Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology. For additional information, refer to the video below.
