LG has launched the UltraGear 27850A in Japan, known locally as the UltraGear 27850A-B. This new monitor was recently spotted in a review video on Bilibili in China. At the same time, LG Japan released some specifications, but they didn’t provide the launch price or detailed hardware information.
Specifications Overview
The retail listing confirms that the UltraGear 27850A-B features a Nano IPS panel that delivers 4K resolution at a refresh rate of 240 Hz by default. It also has an alternative 1080p display mode that can boost the refresh rate to 480 Hz, similar to the UltraGear OLED 32GS95UE (currently priced at $1,096.99 on Amazon). The 27-inch monitor boasts a 1 ms GtG response time and a contrast ratio of 2,000:1, along with peak HDR brightness of 750 nits and full panel brightness of 450 nits.
Additional Features
Moreover, the UltraGear 27G850A-B offers 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, and it is certified with VESA DisplayHDR 600, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and Nvidia G-SYNC. It also includes a DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR13.5 connection, which requires Display Stream Compression (DSC) to achieve the 4K at 240 Hz performance. To deliver an uncompressed 4K and 240 Hz image, a higher UHBR20 bandwidth would be necessary.
Pricing and Availability
Currently, the UltraGear 27G850A-B is available for pre-order in Japan at JPY 129,800, which is about $833. While LG hasn’t announced when it will be available globally, we can estimate the price based on recent UltraGear monitor launches. For instance, the LG UltraGear OLED 27GX790A is priced approximately 13% less in the US compared to Japan. Hence, it is reasonable to anticipate that the UltraGear 27G850A-B could be priced between $700 and $750 in other markets, without exceeding $800.
