The LG 27GR95QE-B is a 27-inch, 1440p gaming monitor with an OLED screen. It's one of the first OLED gaming monitors to feature a 240Hz refresh rate, and thanks to its DisplayPort 1.4 port and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, you can reach its max refresh rate with any type of connection. It also has native FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing. Unlike other larger OLEDs from LG, this monitor has a matte screen coating to reduce direct reflections, but it introduces some haziness to images. Like any OLED, it's prone to burn-in with constant exposure to static elements, but it has a few settings to try to reduce the risk of burn-in.
Our Verdict
The LG 27GR95QE-B is excellent for PC gaming. It offers a high 240Hz refresh rate with VRR support to reduce screen tearing. It also has low input lag for a responsive feel, and motion looks incredible thanks to its near-instantaneous response time, but it has inverse ghosting due to overshoot. Luckily, it's a great choice for dark room gaming as it displays perfect blacks without any blooming.

The LG 27GR95QE-B is decent for the office, but it has limitations. It has wide viewing angles and good ergonomics that make it easy to share the screen with a coworker or client, as they'll see a consistent image from the sides. While it has fantastic reflection handling, it doesn't get bright enough to fight intense glare. Unfortunately, it has some text clarity issues with color fringing, and its OLED panel is prone to burn-in with exposure to static elements over a long period.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The LG 27GR95QE-B is an excellent gaming monitor that combines a fast 240Hz refresh rate with the incredible picture quality of an OLED. It's a great choice if you want the best of both worlds regarding picture quality and a smooth gaming feel, but it has some drawbacks. There's noticeable inverse ghosting with fast-moving objects, and colors aren't as vivid as on QD-OLEDs, so if that's important for you, then the Dell Alienware AW2725DF is a better choice. Even by going for the newer LG 27GS95QE-B, which has the same panel type, you get better performance with less inverse ghosting.

Additionally, it has better motion handling with less inverse ghosting, making the 27GS95QE-B the better choice.
The LG 27GR95QE-B and the AOC Q27G3XMN are both 1440p gaming monitors, but they're different in a few ways. The LG has a higher 240Hz refresh rate and supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, so it can take full advantage of gaming consoles and modern graphics cards. The LG also has an OLED panel that displays perfect blacks, while the AOC uses Mini LED backlighting and gets much brighter. In terms of their actual gaming performance, they each have a fast response time, but the LG has less black smearing behind fast-moving objects, and the AOC has less inverse ghosting.
The LG 27GR95QE-B and the Acer Predator X27U bmiipruzx use the same panel but have a few differences. While the Acer gets brighter in SDR, the LG gets a bit brighter in HDR and has an improved color volume for more vivid colors. The LG also has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth that lets it take full advantage of gaming consoles, which the Acer doesn't have. On the other hand, the Acer has a few extra features, like a KVM switch and a USB-C port, making it easier to connect multiple devices. It also has a more ergonomic stand, so it's easier to adjust. Lastly, the Acer has less overshoot with fast-moving objects at lower refresh rates, but the LG has lower input lag.
The LG 27GR95QE-B and the Dell Alienware AW2725DF are both 27-inch OLED gaming monitors. The Dell has a QD-OLED display, while the LG has a WOLED. The Dell has better gaming performance and image quality, a higher refresh rate, and more vivid HDR colors. However, the LG is still fantastic at gaming and media consumption. Additionally, the Dell's display appears slightly purple in a brighter environment, while the LG's doesn't.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
