Processing and mobility
The LG 27GR95QE is very well made. The panel itself is very thin, but the built-in technology is a bit thicker. In return, you get RGB lighting on the back – which, as always, is a matter of taste. I don’t comment on the design of a monitor, which is up to the user. I like the thin edges and the matte anti-reflective display very much. In addition, the monitor can be swiveled, tilted, adjusted in height and if you want to use it in portrait mode.
Connectors, cables and accessories
You get 2x HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbit/s), DisplayPort 1.4, 2x USB Type-A, 1x USB Type-B, Toslink and 3.5 jack for the headphones. Accordingly, various cables are also included in the scope of delivery. To use the OSD menu, you have to use the included remote. From my point of view, this is better than a joystick, as I have become comfortable.
OSD
LG has slightly adjusted the design, but everything else is basically the same. Using the remote, it’s pretty easy to meander through the various menu items and adjust the monitor to your liking. Besides the usual image presets, you can also display crosshairs and other gaming-specific features.
LG has learned, because in the sRGB preset you at least still have access to white point control. In other words, you can still adjust red, green and blue.
Software and Burn-In Protection
LG Calibration Studio
Let’s start with the LG Calibration Studio software. If you own a colorimeter like the SpyderX or the ColorChecker Display Plus (or also the X-Rite i1-Display Pro), you can hardware calibrate the monitor. In addition to the presets, you’ll also find the options in the OSD: Calibration 1 and Calibration 2. You can download the software on LG’s homepage and then you can start. Furthermore, spectrophotometers are also supported. For example my ColorChecker Studio. How good or bad the hardware calibration is in the end, we will have a look at in another article.
I like the fact that LG supports hardware calibration, but I hope that the software also has the appropriate compensation for the supported colorimeters. That remains to be seen. Which hardware (spectrophotometers / colorimeters) are supported, I can’t tell you. The ones I mentioned work in any case.
OnScreen Control
A small widget to control the OSD is also available for download on LG’s homepage. Personally, I don’t like it at all, since you can control far too little with it. Compared to ASUS or MSI, only the most necessary things are possible with LG. Basically, you only need it to install possible firmware updates. Everything else can be done via remote control.
As you could see for yourself, this is so clear that it’s basically almost obsolete. And how could it be otherwise: two days before the article is published, a firmware update comes. Great, because whether I can still test something now? I have to find time for that first. I’ll see if I can at least test the overshoot and EOTF tracking.
Burn-In Protection
OLED-Care is available via the remote control, where you can deactivate the screen saver (default on). On the other hand, you can activate the so-called pixel shifting in four different modes. Furthermore, there is the pixel and picture refresh mode, which you can start manually.
From my point of view you should do the pixel refresh once a month and the image refresh every quarter. It also always depends on the use case. If you use the monitor excessively, you should use the OLED care more often. Additionally, you should use the Windows Dark Mode and remove all desktop icons if necessary. An animated wallpaper would also be recommended. That should also be enough for this topic. Let’s take a look at how I measure and then we’ll start with Response Times vs. Overshoot.
