    As others have said, text readability can kind of be an issue but I've gotten used to it I think. Others have complained about it not being glossy but I don't really understand that complaint and would rather have my monitors more antiglare (which this one definitely is). I was expecting to turn on HDR and have all the colors instantly pop but I've found it requires a bit more configuring and also is very dependent on the image/game being displayed. Now for the good - this the best monitor I've ever owned. The blacks are incredibly black and the colors really shine in most of the games I play. I've also had no issues with screen tearing thanks to the great adaptive sync support options. I love being able to configure settings with the included remote too. Very happy with my purchase and absolutely worth it when it's on sale.

    Perfect OLED Monitor other than some VRR Flicker

    The LG UltraGear 27GS93QE-B OLED gaming monitor is a 27” 240Hz 1440p monitor with a 03ms gray to gray response time. It comes with a remote, HDMI and Display Port cable, power supply and cable, USB-B to USB-A cable, and lots of quick start and warranty guides. It features 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps ports, a USB-B port for the data transfer from your PC, 1 Display Port 1.4 and 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, and a 3.5mm audio out jack and Optical Audio out. It also features 8, 10, and 12 bit color. The monitor looks and feels extremely well built and, in my opinion, looks more professional than most gaming-oriented monitors with the lack of RGB and a tasteful dark gray, silver and black color way. It weighs in at 17 pounds, measures 24” across and 12” deep with the included stand. The monitor can raise and lower and tilt up and down on the included stand. However, it can only be rotated in into portrait mode counterclockwise, which means the inputs will always be on the right side of the stand. The monitor does include a clip that attaches to the sand to route your cables a bit cleaner. It has a 100x100 VESA mount for those of you who want to mount it on a monitor arm. The monitor has a matte finish on the screen. This is to help combat glare, and it does a good job. Some people complain matte finishes make the images darker, and while that is valid, I cant say I had any problems seeing the monitor regardless of light in the room, short of shining a flash light or direct sunlight on it. The monitor has a peak brightness of 271 nits which is well below good IPS displays that push 400 nits. I can’t say I was bothered by this like I thought I would be. 100% brightness on this monitor is still brighter than what I used on my IPS and it still can get eye searingly bright in dark rooms. This monitor is great at motion performance, with very little motion blur and no screen tearing when set up properly. I used everything from Blur Buster’s UFO test to games as easy to run as CSGO to heavy hitters like Cyber Punk 2077 so try and get the screen to tear and blur with very little success. Some people are more susceptible to it than others, an I didn’t notice tearing or street lamps and other straight up and down objects in FortNite and the helicopter blades in Battlefield 2042. On PC and with an NVIDIA GPU I was able to eliminate it completely by turning Adaptive Sync on in the monitor menu, turning Ultra Low Latency and Variable Refresh Rate on in the NVIDIA Control Panel, and turning off my refresh rate cap and any VRR settings in each game. This is recommended in the industry and it does really work. I can’t speak to users with an AMD Radeon GPU on how to fix this, but I imagine it is a similar adjustment. The Variable Refresh Rate flicker is another matter. VRR allows your monitors refresh rate to match the frame rate of your computer or console in an effort to reduce screen tearing. While it does a good job at eliminating screen tearing (again when properly set up), the VRR causes very bad flickering that you can notice. It is mostly when frame rates are unstable, and most noticeable in loading screens. It looks cheap and looks terrible. This is unfortunately a problem with OLED displays in general and not just the LG UltraGear. However, other monitor brands like Samsung have ways of reducing this issue. I wish LG did as well. When in game however I have yet to notice the flickering, even when really looking for it, but your mileage may vary. Your other option is to run with Adaptive Sync turned off and put up with possible screen tearing. The colors on this monitor are absolutely beautiful and the blacks are bottomless. Just like an OLED TV you may own or have seen in Best Buy, the colors and blacks are the stars of an OLED screen. I thought my IPS monitor looked good but this LG blows it out of the water. As good as the colors are it really is the blacks and the pure contrast that just shines. It makes things look so much better that its almost like everything is a new game again. I was blown away by the explosions and the depths of oceans. It just kept getting better. LG is doing its best to make sure your new OLED screen lasts and doesn’t burn in. The monitor has Screen Move, which will shift static images by a few pixels every now and then to help reduce the risk of burn-in. After four or more hours of continuous use, Image Cleaning will turn on with the monitor turns off or goes into stand-by. It takes about 10 minutes to complete. It can be interrupted if need be. Then after every 500 hours of use, Pixel Cleaning will turn on once the monitor is turned off or goes into stand-by. It takes about a minute to complete. All these are automatic so you don’t have to worry about remembering to do any of the maintenance. LG also gives the monitor a 2 year warranty, and if you wish you can get an extra 4 year extended warranty at Best Buy as well. The only thing I would do differently to a normal IPS or VA monitor is if using a PC, turn “Hide the Taskbar” on so its not hanging out at the bottom of your screen all day. Something worth mentioning is the remote. It is intuitive and easy to use, has programmable presets to go from web browsing to gaming and I actually found myself using it more than dealing with the menu button on the monitor. My only complaint is I wish it used AAA batteries instead of a coin battery. I have multiple LG products, and they all use those stupid, expensive coin batteries. Other than that, I love the remote. Aside from the finicky VRR flicker that I was able to adjust out for the most part, I have not come across any issues. The monitor is well built and looks great with a blacked out media PC, and RGB gaming behemoth, or a gaming console. The OLED performance is fantastic and no noticeable motion blur. If you are in the market for a high-end OLED gaming monitor, I would certainly recommend you check the UltraGear 27GS93QE-B out. I’m glad I did.

    If you're in the market for a high-performance gaming monitor that combines breathtaking visuals with lightning-fast performance, the LG UltraGear 27" OLED is a great contender. This gaming monitor is designed for those who demand the best in both image quality and responsiveness, and it delivers on all fronts. Stunning Visuals with OLED Technology The most striking feature of the LG UltraGear is its OLED display. The VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification means it’s capable of reproducing the deepest blacks and the most vibrant colors, creating a truly immersive gaming experience. Whether you're battling through dark, intense scenes or basking in the bright glow of a victory, the 1.5M:1 contrast ratio ensures every detail pops off the screen. The OLED technology is perfect for gaming, as it produces rich blacks and deep contrasts that make every scene feel more cinematic. With up to 98.5% DCI-P3 color coverage, the colors are not just bright—they're gorgeous. The color accuracy is superb, making it a great choice not only for gaming but also for content creators who need accurate, vivid colors for their work. Blazing Fast Performance When it comes to gaming, speed matters—and the LG UltraGear OLED delivers with 240Hz refresh rate and an incredible 0.03ms response time. This is nearly instantaneous performance, ensuring you’re never a frame behind in competitive games. The ultra-fast refresh rate means smoother gameplay, with less ghosting and lag, while the 0.03ms response time ensures every click, every movement, is executed instantly. The anti-glare and low reflection properties of the OLED screen help minimize distractions from ambient light, keeping your focus entirely on the game. Whether you’re playing in a well-lit room or in the dark, this monitor handles reflections with ease, making it perfect for any setup. This did come with a stand but I opted not to use it and use my own desk arms and it mounted up quickly and easily. Connectivity Options The monitor is equipped with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, allowing you to connect the monitor to your gaming PC or console with ease. Both of these connections support the 240Hz refresh rate, ensuring you're getting the most out of your display. The monitor also has a 4-pole headphone jack, which is convenient for gamers who want to combine their headset’s microphone and stereo signal. Final Verdict The LG UltraGear 27" OLED is a powerhouse of a gaming monitor, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for one!

    Gaming to the max, clunky stand.

    This OLED monitor has been a superb addition to my gaming set up. The responsiveness and display quality has been something that I have not seen in many monitors. The 16:9 ratio is a must for most gamers and paring that with the G synch assures that the output is running flush with all other outputs. From a graphic standpoint this monitor is amazing, its OLED display is very nice on the eyes. This OLED monitor pumps out some major bright colors while keeping the dark (black color/pixels) extremely dark, its edge was nearly impossible to see where it ends. From a build standpoint, the build itself is good. The monitor is extremely thin, but the back section located near the base is a tad clunky. There are plenty of inputs and outputs on this monitor so there was never any worry from that point. The stand was one thing that I do not care too much for, even though this is purely cosmetic and if you choose to mount it this becomes a moot point. The stand is not very pretty. That said, its the only small downfall of this product. It has a covering piece that is provided to hide its messy construction and is wider than it should be. The base of the stand could have been heavier and narrower to reduce desk room needed. All in all, from a display standpoint this monitor is amazing, the OLED is a must have for those gamers. The stand is a bit cumbersome but not a complete deal breaker if you choose to mount.

    Was initally worried when i got the monitor but some quick settings chnages and its great. Intense screen flicker with g-sync enabled so turn that off. Then perform an image cleaning and pixel cleaning care task in order to remove any pixel or vertical line issues on the OLED display. Ans you will love it! Also make sure pc frames are set to 240 of course.

    Excellent OLED Monitor as long as the Remote works

    Pros: Very good picture quality for entry-level OLED at the price point. Great for high refresh rate media consumption Perfect size Cons: The major one is the requirement for a remote. If for some reason your remote doesn't work (like mine stopped doing randomly) or you just don't have it, you lose 90% of the functionality. I don't know what bright engineer they had designing this, but without the remote you can't do anything other than turn it off, change the input, and change the volume. No access to any other settings whatsoever. And the "monitor control" you can get on a computer is basically useless as well. LG support is also just as useless, since it took 5 different "agents" to run me through basic troubleshooting any 10 year old in 2025 could do themselves before finally sending me a new remote. I have yet to receive it but, it's better than sending in the whole monitor.

    So with this new monitor I have moved from a LG UltraGear 27" Nano IPS QHD 1-ms LED 165Hz monitor (which is a beautiful monitor in its own right), to this LG ULtraGear 27" OLED 240Hz monitor.... The initial impressions of comparison was absolutely noticable, the colors and the level of black is just fantastic! Everything just pops on this thing, gorgeous images... There was a few settings that needed to be defined with the monitor and nvidia software, with the help of google/youtube, it wasn't too tidous but should help with any weird screen issues that 'all' oleds can produce.... I wasn't sure how much I would like this monitor but after a week of putting in alot of gaming (call of duty, rocket league, cyberpunk 2077 etc) I was happy to experience this monitor held up to anything I threw at it, having a response time of .03ms and being 240Hz really helped for some great gaming. There wasn't anything I experienced with this monitor that was problematic or hard to really understand, pretty much plug and play. not much else to say about this OLED, It definitely performs well, and with a good price I would highly suggest getting one.

    Great 240hz 1440p OLED that won't break the bank

    With so many OLED monitors out there from every manufacturer having a dizzying array of lines it's hard to know where to start. LG has been making OLED screens for a good while now. So it seems like a safe bet to look to them. First thing I noticed was that the GS93 was not too heavy which was nice to see (or hold while in the box). When I got the box open I took notice on how thin the body of the screen was which makes it look similar to their larger screen OLED TVs which I always liked. The stand is put together like many other stands and clipped right into the vesa mount and again being so light was easy to carry to my desk. The boomerang foot print will take up some awkward space on your desk (at least for me), but it does offer a stable base for the monitor and as long as you have a good desk it will keep the screen from wobbling. Range of motion is kind of limited as it doesn't appear to swivel at all. But it can stand pretty tall height wise since it can be turned into portrait mode, however, that angle seems a bit trivial which I will touch on later. My first con with this monitor will have to be the single button on this monitor that will control the OSD. The included remote will make navigating the OSD much easier, but between having it floating around on the desk and having to need to change the CR2025 battery down the line make it seem like an unnecessary hassle that would not need to exist had they stuck with their joystick button which have always been fairly easy to use on their past monitors. IF the remote attached to the back of the monitor or even integrated into the stand somewhere with a magsafe type charger that also kept it wirelessly charged, that would've been epic. A second gripe would be the power brick which I have been seeing is becoming the norm with monitors that are slimmer but still thick. No onboard speakers on this monitor but there is a 3.5mm headphone jack which is convenient but will not be used by myself. No dead pixels out of the box which is among the first thing I look for, but I have been relatively fortunate in my years dealing with LCD/OLED screens. I prefer matte screens because I have a window directly behind me which during the day is glare city, but I do understand that matte screens will take away from some of the beauty of the colors that OLED offers. But for gaming this monitor has been very pleasing to my eyes. Flicker free and buttery smooth. No tearing and extremely responsive. 240hz seems like overkill but there are 360hz monitors now, but I'm not sure how much of that jump I'd discern. Blacks are black with no blooming around bright objects on the screen. Watching movies and games on the LG OLED are satisfying to me even with the matte surface and great brightness. Text on the other hand is my final con with this monitor. Black text on white background is a bit sloppy and not crisp. White text on a dark background fairs better. But the latter makes me think my eyes are not focused. This monitor doesn't appear to well suited for office duty. Viewing angles are excellent which is good since there is essentially no swivel unless pivoting the boomerang. At $600 price point this UltraGear is not a terrible choice for a 240hz 1440p OLED gaming monitor with GSync. Shave off some more maybe near Black Friday and it is a great choice for sure!

    A very good low-cost OLED monitor, but not perfect

    GOOD - OLED picture quality - Supports native 4K resolution - Simple interface - Useful remote - Two USB ports on back - Affordable for 240 Hz OLED display BAD - Big power brick - Navigating menus w/o remote is almost impossible - No front accessible USB ports - Text clarity could be better TLDR It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but this is an affordable workhorse of a 240 Hz OLED gaming monitor that's quasi-4K capable. DETAILS Viewing quality HDR content on a properly calibrated OLED screen is a beautiful thing to behold. But most people have never had that opportunity as most OLED displays are prohibitively expensive. The $600 price tag ( as of this writing ) may still seem high, but it's quite affordable compared to the $800 - $1200 tag on a lot of other OLED gaming monitors. And despite the lower price, it's not stripped down on features. The monitor is overall very good quality. Due to it's smaller size and lower resolution, you won't get the maximum brightness and HDR effect like you will from a TV. But it does pretty good for its limitations and it's not hard to get the picture adjusted to your liking. The monitor also has common "game mode" features like a superimposed crosshair and frame counter. The stand feels reasonably sturdy and you can adjust height, front-to-back tilt, and rotate the display to portrait orientation. The specs say it can swivel side-to-side, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it does swivel, but doing so requires a lot more force than I'm willing to put on the thin display frame. I'd also prefer a flat bottom plate rather than the wide spread Y legs, as that would take up less desk space and allow me to stack a few things on the plate. The monitor doesn't have speakers of its own, but it does have two audio out connections, one 3.5mm headphone jack and one fiber optic port on the back. It doesn't have eARC, so you can't hook it up to a soundbar through HDMI. It also has a built-in USB hub with two ports on the back, so you can connect your keyboard, mouse or other peripherals. It would be nice if LG took a page from Dell's book and added some USB ports on the bottom of side so you could use it for thumb drives or other peripherals that are frequently connected and detached. The on-screen menu is easy to navigate with the included remote and the options and settings are grouped intuitively so you don't need to constantly bounce back and forth to get the picture to your liking. The remote has a good button layout with dedicated controls for switching inputs, display brightness, and the audio out volume. One oddity is the reader mode button on the remote. It quickly sets the screen to a reader or night time mode, but pressing the button again doesn't return you back to the last picture mode. However, don't ever lose the remote as you'll have a devil of a time getting through the menu without it. Instead of cursor keys or a joystick, the monitor has a single physical button to navigate the menus, and it's horrible to use. You can also use LG's companion software to control the settings from a computer, but that doesn't help if you're mainly using this for Xbox or PlayStation. Like many OLED monitors and TVs, the screen is very thin front-to-back around the top and sides while still having a central blister on the back to house the inputs and other control circuitry. Having the thin edges makes it harder to mount webcams on top of the monitor and makes the display more fragile overall. Really, it makes no sense for manufacturers to keep using this construction style for OLEDs because it doesn't save anything on overall size. Using a full cabinet also gives you more space to house internal power regulation circuitry. That means you can use a standard power cable instead of a massive power adapter brick with specialty connection. Again, Dell has been doing this for years and it would be nice if LG and others would adopt the practice. Most of these are minor complaints, though. Apart from having only two USB ports, my only serious gripe with the monitor is the clarity of text. Due to how LG structured the subpixels, text looks a tiny bit fuzzy around the edges. I find it distracting, though whether it's enough to bother you is a personal matter. For gaming and movies, it doesn't matter. But if you use it for work in the day ( and game at night ) and if you handle a lot of documents, it might be more than you want to bear with. It's not a perfect gaming monitor, but for this lower price point, it's certainly a worthwhile option.
