The UltraGear 27GX704A-B is the OLED monitor we pick for a gaming desk that also gets used at night. Each pixel lights itself, so blacks are truly black, and LG rates the response time at 0.03 ms (GtG). At 2560 x 1440 and 240 Hz, a mid-range graphics card can keep it busy without needing a 4K-class GPU.
The panel is glossy, which makes colours pop but shows reflections in a bright room. You get two HDMI 2.1 ports for consoles, one DisplayPort 1.4 for the PC, a small USB hub and a stand that adjusts in height, tilt, swivel and pivot. The real diagonal is 26.5 inches.
Where it sits in real desks, and why it earned its place there.
Why it is here
The 1440p OLED panel runs at 240 Hz with a 0.03 ms response time, a level the RTX 5070 in the OMEN can actually feed. Its stand adjusts in height and pivot, so the screen reaches eye level without an arm.
Why it is here
240 Hz with a 0.03 ms response time is what a competitive shooter desk needs, and 1440p keeps distant targets sharp. Two HDMI 2.1 ports leave room for a console.
