LG reveals the world's first 1ms IPS monitors

[midian182]

Something to look forward to: No longer does choosing an IPS panel mean having to endure slower response times than TN. At the E3 event, LG unveiled the LG UltraGear, the world's first IPS gaming monitor with a 1ms GTG response time.

It's usually the case that an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel offers benefits such as better color reproduction and viewing angles at the expense of slower response times than TN (Twisted Nematic) panels, but LG’s UltraGear brings the best of both worlds.

There are two models available: 27-inch (27GL850) and 38-inch (38GL950G) versions, both of which feature that 1ms response time, curved screens, slim bezels, and a DCI-P3 98-percent wide color gamut (sRGB 135 percent).

The smaller model comes with a 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution, HDR 10, is G-Sync compatible, and has 350 nits of brightness. It’s refresh time, meanwhile, is an impressive 144Hz. Those with deep pockets can get the 38-inch monitor, which can reach a 175Hz refresh rate, has a 3840 x 1600 (WQHD) resolution, 450 nits brightness (VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified), a 21:9 aspect ratio, and G-Sync.

Both monitors also boast a number of gaming-focused features, including Dynamic Action Sync mode, Black Stabilizer, and Crosshair. Connectivity consists of two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, and a USB 3.0 hub. The larger model features several RGB lights on the rear, which LG calls Sphere Lighting 2.0.

The 27-inch display will cost $499.99, with pre-orders set to begin on July 1 in the US. The 38-inch version, as you might expect, is a lot pricier. It’ll set you back an eye-watering $1,999. Both monitors are scheduled to roll out next month.

The announcement comes just after Samsung unveiled its first 240Hz@1080p monitor at the same event.

Why not Freesync?

"HDR 10[..], and has 350 nits of brightness"

lol... this kinda defeats the purpose...

 

[QuantumPhysics]

$1999 lol

If you want a great Gsync 1440p monitor grab the Alienware DW.

It's 34" instead of 38, but it's big enough and its picture quality is flawless.

So your saying this is nicer then my HP Omen?

amstech, the HP Omen is a big piece of crap

Ok

135% of the sRGB colour gamut... urm... how's that? Is this from their marketing material? You mean 35% bigger than sRGB? Generally when a device has 100% capability it is expressed as that, then any extended capability is presented as a percentage of a larger gamut such as Adobe RGB.

No OLED?

There is a reason we don't see oleds monitors, burn in is a very serious issue with the way we use PCs

sRGB gamut is smaller than Adobe RGB or DCI-P3. This means the gamut it covers fully covers sRGB, plus an additional 35 - which gives it 98% coverage of DCI-P3. It is pretty easy for an IPS panel's gamut to exceed the sRGB standard.

Waste of money! For 2K you can buy a 4K OLED TV with HDR10+. And they are selling an IPS monitor with the most basic HDR400 and sub-4K resolution for the same money. They are thieves.

You aren't getting true 175hz refresh rate on the TV. Also, input lag on TVs is pretty bad relative to a monitor. However, Samsung's new 8k TVs have free sync and are capable of a true 120hz, the only catch is that you have to play at 8k so that the TV doesn't have to do the upscaling

Ehh not really. Most monitors use sleep mode. Most home and work users don't leave static images on for months at a time either. Retention can be a problem but it really is only a problem for a select few.

And like @dangh said, that 350-nits is useless for HDR.

You mean like the windows start button or the bar at the top of every window? The scroll bar on the right side of the screen. Of you use say, Photoshop alot the tool bars will burn in. There is ALOT of stuff that is static in screen

 

[Teko03]

Tempting. I've been looking for a 1440p 27" GSYNC display with a "bezel-less" design. I was planning to settle for Dell's old S2716DGR ($429). But this is attractive, especially with the IPS display. Decisions...

 

[grumblguts]

I really wish the term NIT wasn't used to me it means creepy crawlies in the scalp.
nitere is the word.
Its Latin word nitere, to shine.

https://www.bobjohnson.com/blog/what-is-a-nit-explaining-screen-brightness/

Its a nice monitor but you need 400 nitere minimum really.
350 nitere dont even hit the freesync2 minimum spek.

 

[grumblguts]

I had a 400 nitere screen and honestly it isn't comfortable having all that nitere hitting you in the face, It does feel uncomfortable especially during the summer time but you dont ever see that advertised when you look at the speks of displays.
Now I think 350 nitere sound much more comfortable than 400 to use.

 

[Trillionsin]

That PC case is awesome! Would buy again!

Turn down the brightness??

 

[Steveb8189]

"HDR 10[..], and has 350 nits of brightness"

lol... this kinda defeats the purpose...

All that means is it can take HDR10 content which is recorded at 4,000 nits and scale it down to what the monitor is capable of.

 

[DukeJukem]

I was excited until I read the screen resolution. id rather see a 1080p 175 hz or 240hz variant.

 

[vayeate]

Another curved screen. I don't get it.

sRGB gamut is smaller than Adobe RGB or DCI-P3. This means the gamut it covers fully covers sRGB, plus an additional 35 - which gives it 98% coverage of DCI-P3. It is pretty easy for an IPS panel's gamut to exceed the sRGB standard.

Yes, I'm aware that displays can exceed sRGB but it is usual to state that it gives 100% coverage of the smaller gamut, and the percentage it covers of the larger one. Given the way gamuts are represented stating "135%" sRGB is very vague and pretty much pointless as the 35% is undefined in terms of what coverage that actually provides. That was my point, not questioning that panel's ability to exceed sRGB gamut obviously.

 

[imdarkbreeze]

Really? Worlds FIRST 1ms IPS panel? That's funny, because I see about ten of them here, and they've been out for quite a while.
