Overview
Not a single-speed panel, this LG UltraGear OLED switches by hotkey between sharp ultra HD for story games and Full HD at a much higher refresh rate for shooters. Each pixel lights itself for deep black, and Micro Lens Array+ lifts brightness.
Dual mode gives two monitors in one, a detailed screen for single-player games and a very fast one for esports. Driving either mode at full speed takes a high-end graphics card, which adds to the setup.
Who it's for
Enthusiasts with a strong graphics card get deep OLED contrast and very fast motion in one display. Office users who leave static windows open for hours may prefer a panel that does not need OLED care routines.
Pros and cons
- Two refresh modes by hotkey
- Extremely fast pixel response
- Deep OLED black and high peak brightness
- Full ergonomic stand
- Needs a strong GPU for full speed
- Low typical brightness for bright rooms
- Static content needs OLED care tools
- Heavy for small monitor arms
Performance notes
Motion clarity comes from the very fast OLED pixel response plus high refresh, so trails behind moving targets almost vanish. Dual mode trades resolution for refresh when switched to Full HD. HDR punch comes from self-lit pixels with Micro Lens Array+ boosting peak highlights.
