Our take on the LG UltraGear 27 Inch IPS Dual Mode Gaming Monitor

This is LG's 27-inch UltraGear IPS gaming monitor with a dual-mode twist: it runs 4K at 180Hz for sharp, fast play, and can switch to a lower resolution at a much higher refresh rate for competitive shooters. It covers the bases well with 1ms response, HDR, USB-C, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI, and both FreeSync Premium and G-Sync Compatible support. The IPS panel gives wide viewing angles and accurate color, though contrast and black levels trail VA and OLED rivals. It suits PC and console gamers who want one screen for both cinematic 4K games and fast competitive titles, and who value USB-C connectivity for a laptop or single-cable setup.

Questions and answers

What does dual mode mean on this monitor?
It runs 4K at 180Hz for detail, and can switch to a lower resolution at a much higher refresh rate for competitive games. You choose the mode in the settings depending on the game.
Does it work with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards?
Yes. It is G-Sync Compatible and supports FreeSync Premium, so adaptive sync works with either brand over DisplayPort.
Is USB-C enough to connect a laptop?
USB-C carries video and data, so a compatible laptop can drive the display with one cable. Check that your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort alt mode.
Is 27 inches too small for 4K?
At 27 inches, 4K looks very sharp and is fine for gaming and everyday use. For heavy multi-window productivity, many prefer a larger 4K screen.
How does it compare with OLED gaming monitors?
It is brighter for daytime use and avoids OLED burn-in risk, but OLED rivals beat it on contrast, black levels and HDR impact.
What is in the box?
You get the monitor, stand, power cable and the usual video cabling; confirm the exact cable bundle for your region before ordering.
