LG reveals the world’s first 1ms IPS gaming displays
At E3 2019, LG has revealed the world’s first 1ms IPS Gaming Monitors, UltraGear series displays which offer the stunning image quality of their Nano IPS panels while offers ultra-fast response times with 144Hz refresh rates. With LG, gamers can get the whole package.
LG’s new 1ms IPS panels come in two flavours, with their 38-inch 3840×1600 38GL950G and their 27-inch 2560×1440 27GL850, the 38-inch model is a G-Sync screen while the 27-inch model is G-Sync Compatible (Adaptive-Sync). The 38-inch model also supports LG’s Sphere Lighting 2.0 technology.
If you don’t believe LG’s 1ms response time claims, the company has sought out external validation, with UL, a renowned standards body, certifying these displays as offering 1ms Gray-to-Grey response times. On top of that, LG has also made multi-monitor setups practically seamless with a 3-side borderless design.
Both monitors support a 10-bit colour depth and offer 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space and 135% of the sRGB colour space. The 27-inch Ultragear will support HDR10 (it apparently didn’t meet any VESA DisplayHDR specification) and a 144Hz refresh rate, with the 38-inch model supporting the DisplayHDR 400 specification and a 144Hz refresh rate, which can be boosted to 175Hz through overclocking.
Below are the full specifications of LG’s two Nano IPS 1ms monitors, with LG stating that their 27-inch 27GL850 will become available for pre-order on July 1st in the US and at selected European retailers in Q3.
Both models are currently available to view at the NVIDIA exhibit space at E3 2019. E3, the world’s largest annual gaming expo takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Centre between June 11th and 13th.
