New Technology Insights
As we discussed earlier, the UltraGear OLED 27GX700A showcases LG Display’s cutting-edge Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel tech. This type of panel is generally known as a 4th Generation WOLED panel. In addition to this, LG also listed the UltraGear OLED 27GX704A in Japan earlier this month.
Confusion with Model Names
It’s worth noting that the UltraGear OLED 27GX704A, despite its model name, uses LG Display’s previous 2nd Generation WOLED technology. As mentioned previously, this monitor provides a native resolution of 1440p on its 27-inch display, boasting a refresh rate of 240 Hz and a peak brightness of 275 nits in SDR mode. When HDR mode is activated, brightness can peak at 1,300 nits in small areas.
Pricing and Connectivity
According to Amazon US, LG plans to sell the UltraGear OLED 27GX704A in the US for $799.99, which is just $50 less than the more advanced UltraGear OLED 27GX700A. Additionally, the UltraGear OLED 27GX704A does not come with USB Type-C support. As shown in the image above, the monitor includes DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, USB Type-B, and USB Type-A ports. Unfortunately, there is still no specific release date available at this point.
