The upcoming UltraGear display will house a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time for lightning fast gameplay.
LG is preparing to launch its new curved UltraGear gaming monitor, taking on Samsung in a proverbial clash of display titans.
And “titan” is a good descriptor because LG’s new monitor is huge. You’re looking at a 45-inch ultrawide monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a 1440p resolution (3,440 x 1,440 pixels). This is essentially LG’s direct response to the Odyssey line, but it’s lacking in certain areas when compared to Samsung’s offering. The Odyssey G9, for example, is a bit bigger at 49 inches with a 32:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 5,120 x 1440 pixels. However looking at the specs sheet (opens in new tab), the new UltraGear monitor has certain things going for it that may make it the better choice.
For starters, it’s an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display whereas the G9 is QLED (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode). The main difference is OLED screens usually have better image quality, which is seen as darker blacks and brighter whites.
