4th Gen Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology reaches up to 335 nits typical brightness, supported by VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 and UL-verified Perfect Black, Perfect Color, and Perfect Reproduction certifications.5 The result is a display where deep blacks, precise color, and fine scene detail work together to make on-screen environments more readable and more immersive.

Dual-Mode refresh rates of 5K2K at 165Hz or Wide Full HD at 330Hz6, combined with a near-instant 0.03ms (GtG) response time, help ensure every movement registers immediately. NVIDIA® G-SYNC® Compatible7 and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro are also supported. AI Upscaling8, AI Sound, AI Scene Optimization, and OLED Care are also included. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20),9 HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery.

The LG UltraGear Evo GM9 sets a new benchmark for 5K gaming with next-generation Hyper Mini LED technology. Designed for players who demand both cinematic picture quality and competitive speed, the 27-inch 5K (5120×2880) display delivers exceptional clarity at 218 pixels per inch, along with ultra-high brightness reaching up to 1,250 nits and VESA DisplayHDR™ 1000 certification.

An evolution of Mini LED backlighting, Hyper Mini LED enhances precision and control with 9,216 mini LEDs and 2,304 local dimming zones. The GM9's robust brightness shines in the moments that matter most – from intense explosion scenes that surge with raw, visceral energy to starry night skies where crisp highlights emerge from deep, inky blacks. Combined with Zero Optical Distance tech, which brings the backlight closer to the panel, reducing light bleed and suppresses blooming, further reinforced by TÜV Rheinland-certified Anti-blooming Hyper Mini LED, producing deeper, more accurate blacks, higher perceived contrast, and cleaner visuals without distracting halo effects.
