About this deal

It still falls short of “true HDR” which is often considered at 1000-nits brightness or more, and the contrast ratio of 1000:1 just doesn’t compare to a full-array backlight or OLED panel.

We have fed this back to LG for further investigation as this could well be addressed through a firmware update we are sure. Those wanting to work with wide gamut content for multimedia and HDR can achieve good coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space as well.If you set your resolution to 2560 x 1440 the image still looks very sharp and clear, and doesn’t blur the text too much like most 4K screens do when scaling. Models like the Acer Nitro XV273K used a dual-DisplayPort method instead, allowing you to connect two cables from your graphics card to the screen and double the bandwidth capability. While the stand is quite sturdy and offers decent ergonomics including up to 110mm height adjustment, -5°/15° tilt, 90° pivot, and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility, you can’t swivel the screen to the left or right. Have a read about response time in our specs section if you need additional information about this measurement. The backlight is controlled using a direct current (DC) method for all brightness adjustments and so is flicker-free as advertised.

The other gaming features include a DAS mode, which reduces input lag, and the basics which come on most gaming monitors: a black stabilizer, an on-screen reticle, and a pair of picture modes for FPS and RTS (that seem to be the same thing). If you move your viewing position back, which is probably likely for movies and games keep in mind, the effect reduces as you do not have such an extreme angle from your eye position to the screen edges. The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. You might also want to read our detailed article about Variable Refresh Rates here for more information. Luminance uniformity of the screen was very good on our sample, with all of the screen within a 10% deviance of the centrally calibrated area which was pleasing.

The brightness range of the screen was wide with the ability to offer a luminance between 465 and 90 cd/m 2. This allows us to measure the maximum and minimum adjustment ranges, as well as identify the recommended setting to reach a target of 120 cd/m 2 for comfortable day to day use in normal lighting conditions.

Ideally you’d want to be able to stick with a single mode for all refresh rates especially when you consider how these will vary during VRR. Gaming features include custom crosshair overlays and Black Stabilizer (improves visibility in darker games). We left the LaCie software to calibrate to “max” brightness which would just retain the luminance of whatever brightness we’d set the screen to, and would not in any way try and alter the luminance at the graphics card level, which can reduce contrast ratio.The usual tradeoff for these advantages is a slower response time, which can lead to ghosting, but times are changing. The screen has an external power supply and the screen also comes packaged with the power cable and adapter that you need.
