The resolution of 2560 x 1440 is comfortable on a 26.5″ sized screen providing a nice desktop area to work with, including decent support for split screen working and an obvious step up from 1080p displays. Some people may complain that it does not have a higher 3840 x 2160 “4K” resolution which could provide an even sharper image for these kind of uses, although there are added complications then of how your applications and OS handle scaling, and whether your system is powerful enough to run the screen at 4K in different situations, including for gaming. As we discussed in our recent article, ‘ The Obsession with 4K and Do You Need it on a New Monitor?‘, we think that 1440p is perfectly fine for most people on a ~27″ screen like this and in many situations preferable. Right now it is difficult and expensive to increase the pixel density on these OLED panels, but we’re sure that in time we will see higher resolution and higher density options released. For now 1440p on a 26.5″ screen is still great! Brightness for office use Next, the monitor has a wide 98.5% DCI-P3 gamut coverage, resulting in rich and vibrant colors. This is equivalent to around 135% sRGB gamut size, so content made with sRGB color space in mind will be over-saturated. Some users prefer the extra vibrancy provided by the over-saturation, but you can also clamp the gamut down to ~100% sRGB in case you prefer accuracy. Unlike most gaming screens, including all the other 27″ 240Hz OLED monitors announced so far, the LG 27GR95QE includes support for hardware level calibration. With the use of a compatible calibration device, you can calibrate the screen at a hardware level, stored to the monitors internal LUT directly, and therefore active in all applications, multimedia and games. You aren’t reliant on normal software level profiling and colour aware applications; the accuracy and settings apply everywhere. With an LG computer monitor you’ll discover cutting-edge display technology and slim designs, from the LG CINEMA 3D monitor, the new standard in 3-dimensional excellence, to our dazzling LED and LCD monitors, which offer state-of-the-art display and features. You’ll get a new outlook on life with monitors and other computer equipment from LG.
These coordinates listed are also CIE 1931 colour gamut x,y, coordinates but if we plot those relative to that reference, and assume the blue target was met at 0.1490, 0.0600, then that would equal a 99.9% absolute coverage of sRGB (102.8% relative). Really we would also like the coordinates to be listed here as the more accurate and recent CIE 1976 u’, v’ coordinates, and the coverage % from there. If we convert the coordinates to CIE1976 and plot the colour gamut according to that reference, we get a 99.6% absolute coverage of sRGB (101.7%). It looks like the colour space has been achieved nicely though which is great. We would have just liked the software to report these % for us.As discussed in our detailed article about Response Time Testing – Pitfalls, Improvements and Updating Our Methodologywe are using an improved and more accurate method for capturing G2G response times and overshoot, based on figures that are more reflective to what you see visually on the screen in real-World usage. Our article linked above talks through why this is better and how we arrived at this improved method in much more detail. LG 27UL650 Review – 4K IPS Monitor with FreeSync and HDR The LG 27UL650 is the next 4K monitor in line to the well-loved 27UK650 which provided accurate color and excellent… The LG 27GR95QE-B is a fantastic gaming monitor based on its test results and specifications. Its unique OLED panel is fast and vibrant and capable of brilliant HDR performance, even when compared to its mini-LED counterparts. We like its design and added features, plus it’s not stupendously expensive like we feared it would be. There are then two cleaning cycles, “image cleaning” which takes 10 mins to run, and “pixel cleaning” which will take 1 minute. It’s the “image cleaning” that is the more common and frequent minor cleaning cycle, despite being the longer to complete. The screen will prompt you to run these periodically anyway after certain amounts of usage time (4 hours of use for image cleaning and 500 hours of use for pixel cleaning), and will run the cycle when the screen is in standby so as not to disrupt your usage. You can see that the targets had been closely matched after this process. This is a further “validation” process you can run which takes 3 minutes to complete and will produce a more thorough report, including one you can save as a PDF if you want:

I measured 100% coverage of the sRGB color space, as well as 97% coverage of DCI-P3. Color accuracy was excellent out of the box, too, with a color error of 1.5 (less than 2 is ideal for video and photo editing). You could easily jump in and start editing a video on the UltraGear OLED 27 without any adjustments to the color. We were disappointed though with the brightness capability of the screen in HDR content, not getting anywhere near the spec advertised, even in overly cool preset modes. If you like the extra pop of a very bright HDR experience, then you will find higher elsewhere, but you probably need to look at Mini LED LCD screens instead of OLED for the brightest HDR performance. On the plus side the HDR setup was pretty decent and accurate which was pleasing, as that’s one mode you can’t hardware calibrate sadly at the moment.
Great Deal
