LG expands UltraGear range with new super-fast gaming monitors

LG has unveiled two brand spanking new gaming monitors at E3, and they’re the first in the world capable of achieving a 1 milisecond gray-to-gray response time. Part of the company’s UltraGear series, the new double act uses Nano IPS tech to reproduce colours with pinpoint accuracy and can deliver a refresh rate of 144Hz, which is overclockable to 175Hz. The larger UltraGear Nano IPS (38GL950G) is a 38in longerino that sports a sleek curved 21:9 display that’s virtually borderless. Just like its uber-wide sibling, the smaller 27in monitor (27GL850) is NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible, and also supports HDR10. Both will include gamer-specific settings like Dynamic Action Sync mode, Black Staibilizer, and Crosshair, which can apparently help players improve their accuracy in first-person shooters. LG will start rolling out the dynamic duo next month, with prices starting at $499 for the 27in display and rising to $1999 for the 38in curved model.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
