LG 27GM950B Overview

Enjoy sharp details while exploring fantastic worlds and responsive performance in fast-paced competitions with the LG UltraGear evo AI GM9 27" 5K HDR Dual Mode 165 Hz Gaming Monitor. Designed primarily for enthusiasts, this display features a stunning 5K2K (5120 x 2880) resolution with a MicroCell Mini-LED panel that delivers bright, crisp visuals. The 165 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time reduce motion blur, and setting a 2650 x 1440 QHD resolution enables a 330 Hz refresh rate. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-sync compatibility eliminate screen tearing and stuttering with compatible graphics cards.

With HDR support and deep contrast, the UltraGear evo enhances images with realistically bright highlights and deep shadows. Connecting your compatible laptop to the USB-C port allows you to transfer video, data, and up to 90W of power over a single cable. It provides you with access to the integrated USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub, which allows you to connect up to 5 Gb/s compatible devices. There are also two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 2.1 input. Ambient RGB backlighting helps to enhance the mood while you play.

5K Details
Packed with 14 million pixels for 218 PPI, the high resolution delivers sharp visuals, including clearer in-game text, UI elements, and fine details. The high pixel density also improves clarity for text-heavy documents and web browsing.
Dual Mode
You can switch from exploring vast open worlds at 5K2K, 165 Hz resolution to competing in high-speed matches with QHD, 330 Hz performance.
Exceptional Visuals
The 27" MicroCell Mini-LED panel features an STW polarizer with 2,304 local dimming zones that delivers a deep 1000:1 contrast and 1250-nit peak brightness in HDR mode. The screen is also factory calibrated for Delta E <2 accuracy 99% DCI-P3 gamut coverage. Visuals are enhanced with VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certified high-dynamic range. Zero optical distance engineering brings the backlight closer to the panel to reduce light bleed and help minimize blooming.
Adaptive Sync Technologies
AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility ensures tear-free, stutter-free gaming with variable refresh rate (VRR) technology. A compatible graphics card is required.
AI Upscaling
AI Upscaling sharpens textures and edges of lower resolution content, making it easier to spot targets in complex environments. The technology analyzes the source signal to improve visual clarity, so no GPU upgrade is needed.
AI Scene Optimization
AI Scene Optimization adjusts brightness, contrast, and color temperature in real-time by detecting what's on screen, enhancing visibility in poorly-lit interiors and reducing overexposure in bright outdoor areas. It also helps to optimize preset modes such as Office, Animation, Movie, Game, and Sports to optimize the display.
AI Sound Enhancement
AI Sound separates voices from effects and background so footsteps and dialogue stay clear, with leveled peaks for a more balanced mix.
Amped Up Gaming Audio
The built-in 7W stereo speaker system is designed to deliver rich audio. The 4-pole headphone jack combines stereo audio and mic input, delivering crisp sound and clear game-play comms through a single connection.
Advanced Gaming Details
  • Dynamic Action Sync reduces input lag for real-time response.
  • Black Stabilizer brightens dark scenes to see what's hidden.
  • FPS Counter shows your real-time frame rate.
  • Crosshair enhances precision for deadly accuracy.
Ergonomics
Optimize your view by adjusting the height, tilt, and swivel. Rotating the screen allows you to view content in portrait mode. You can also use the 100 x 100mm VESA mounting pattern to attach the screen to a swivel arm or multi-monitor stand.
