Anti-Blooming Game Visuals

With 1.5x more local dimming zones (2,304 zones) and 5.9x more LEDs (9,216 LEDs) than conventional Mini LED (Based on internal comparison with LG conventional Mini LED (27GR95UM)..), Hyper Mini LED delivers superior peak brightness and clear visuals. Plus, Zero Optical Distance technology minimises the panel-to-backlight gap to near zero, effectively reducing light bleed and blooming effects.

Ultra-High Resolution 5K Gaming

Sharper Detail in Every Pixel

Experience refined clarity with the 27-inch 5K (5120x2880) display. Compared to FHD (1920x1080), 5K resolution (5120x2880) delivers dramatically sharper detail and enhanced visual definition, creating a richer and more immersive visual experience.

5K AI Upscaling

No GPU Upgrade Required

UltraGear evo™’s built-in processor powers 5K AI Upscaling, intelligently enhancing content to 5K resolution from any device. Without additional GPU or hardware upgrades, it intelligently upscales content to deliver sharper detail and improved resolution. (Upscaling performance may vary depending on the input source quality. No GPU upgrade required for AI Upscaling functionality. A compatible external device (PC/GPU/console) is required for game operation.) (Based on published specifications of gaming monitors as of March 2026, LG 27GM950B is the first gaming monitor to support AI upscaling to 5K resolution.)

High 218 PPI Clarity for Both Gaming & Productivity

With a high 218 PPI (Pixels Per Inch), it delivers a precise gaming experience and better productivity. During gameplay, in-game texts, UI elements, and fine details appear sharper and more defined, making HUDs (Head-Up Displays), menus, and on-screen information easier to read. It also enhances clarity for text-heavy tasks such as document editing, web browsing, or coding.
