LG’s UltraGear 27GN950 is a 4K gaming monitor that has pulled out all the stops to deliver a premium screen for gaming, content creation, and media consumption. And it has pretty much succeeded.

This Monitor Does (Almost) Everything LG UltraGear 27GN950

AT A GLANCE

DISPLAY Nano IPS

RESOLUTION 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160 pixels)

BRIGHTNESS 400 nits (Typical)

REFRESH RATE 144Hz, NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible

PRICE $1,399

It’s got a crisp 4K resolution, 10-bit colour, DisplayHDR 600 certification, fluid 144Hz refresh rate that’s NVIDIA G-Sync compatible on LG’s Nano IPS panel. The entire package comes together nicely, and the monitor is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure to use.

The 3,840 x 2,160-pixel resolution is astoundingly sharp on a 27-inch display. One might even argue that it is overkill. But coming from the 31.5-inch QHD Samsung Odyssey G7, the step-up in sharpness is immediately noticeable and everything from text to images is deliciously crisp. The monitor sits at a dense 163ppi, and it’s impossible to make out the individual pixels.

With a typical brightness of 400 nits, the UltraGear 27GN950 falls short of the 1,000 nits that you’ll see on higher-end HDR screens. I’ve used a 1,000 nits screen before, and they’re almost unbearably bright for me, so DisplayHDR 600 may actually be a more amenable middle ground for some folks.

Taking on a remake of Konami's classic Silent Hill 2 was always going to be a daunting task. Enter Bloober Team, the studio behind other psychological horror titles like The Medium and Blair Witch. While those were solid efforts in their own right, Silent Hill holds a special place in the hearts of horror fans, and any attempt to update it was bound to be scrutinized.
