The LG UltraGear 27GX704A has arrived, and it’s targeting competitive gamers with specs that go well beyond the basics. This 26.5-inch WOLED monitor features ultra-fast performance, vivid visuals, and a sleek glossy finish, packing LG’s latest tech into a borderless form factor.
LG UltraGear 27GX704A hits 240 Hz with lightning-fast response
For gamers chasing speed, the LG UltraGear 27GX704A doesn’t disappoint. Not only does it support a 240 Hz refresh rate, but it also delivers a 0.03 ms grey-to-grey response time placing it among the fastest OLED displays available.
Meanwhile, its 2560 x 1440 resolution hits the QHD sweet spot, offering sharp visuals without putting too much strain on mid-tier GPUs. Plus, with Adaptive Sync built in, the monitor supports both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync for smoother gameplay.
Sharge Disk Pro brings active cooling, 10 Gbps speed, and hub functionality in a see-through SSD starting at $139 on Kickstarter.
3rd-gen WOLED and META Tech 2.0 for sharp visuals
This isn’t your standard OLED panel. The 27GX704A uses LG’s 3rd-gen WOLED technology, also known as a 3-stack design, paired with META Technology 2.0 and Micro Lens Array+. Combined, they push efficiency and brightness further than older models.
Typical brightness is rated at 275 cd/m², with peaks up to 1300 cd/m² in HDR highlights. The monitor supports DisplayHDR 400 True Black and HDR10, and covers 98.5% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Its 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio keeps shadows deep and highlights crisp.
LG UltraGear 27GX704A adds gloss, minimal bezels, and solid I/O
Unlike most matte-coated competitors, this model opts for a glossy finish, adding punch to colors and a glass-like sharpness to content. LG gives the monitor a 4-sided, virtually borderless design, making it a strong option for multi-monitor setups.

No global release yet, but accessories are ready
The LG UltraGear 27GX704A includes a DisplayPort cable, HDMI cable, and USB-A to USB-B cable in the box. Without the stand, it weighs 4.8 kg and measures just 45.3 mm in depth, making it a slim and light option for desk setups.
So far, LG has listed the monitor only on its Japan website, with no confirmed price or international release date. But specs like this, and that 7th-gen gloss panel, suggest it won’t stay region-locked for long.
The UltraGear 27GX704A isn’t just about frame rates. It’s LG flexing its OLED muscle in the gaming space and doing it with shine.
