Hyper Mini LED for more precise light control
Hyper Mini LED technology uses 9216 LEDs and 2304 separate local dimming zones, enabling the monitor to control brightness more accurately in different parts of the screen. At the same time, Zero Optical Distance minimises the distance between the panel and the backlight, helping to reduce backlight bleed and blooming around bright objects on a dark background.
High brightness and VESA DisplayHDR 1000
The LG UltraGear 27GM950B achieves a peak brightness of up to 1250 nits and is VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certified. The high dynamic range helps to enhance intense lighting effects while preserving detail in dark scenes. The colour reproduction is complemented by typical 99% DCI-P3 coverage and over a billion displayable colours.
5K resolution with 218 PPI sharpness
On its 27" screen, the monitor offers a resolution of 5120 × 2880 px, which represents more than 14 million pixels. The 218 PPI sharpness helps to render game environments, text, user interfaces and fine details much more clearly, and you will also appreciate it when working with documents, graphics or code.
5K AI Upscaling enhances the input image
The built-in image processor uses 5K AI Upscaling, which analyses the incoming image and computes it towards 5K quality. The processing takes place directly in the monitor, so no additional hardware is needed for the upscaling itself. The result is sharper detail even for content with a lower input resolution.
Dual-Mode for detailed and exceptionally fast gaming
The Dual-Mode function lets you adapt the monitor to the specific type of game. For graphically demanding RPGs and adventure games, you can use 5K resolution at 165Hz, while for competitive gaming you can switch to QHD at 330Hz. The 1ms GtG response time reduces unwanted motion blur and supports fast reactions in dynamic scenes.
Smooth picture with G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium
NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium support helps to synchronise the monitor's refresh rate with the graphics card's frame rate. This reduces screen tearing and stuttering. The gaming features are further enhanced by Dynamic Action Sync, Black Stabilizer, the Crosshair virtual sight and an FPS counter.
Modern connectivity for PCs and consoles
For connecting a high-performance computer, there is a DisplayPort 2.1 with UHBR 20, which provides high bandwidth for a combination of high resolution and refresh rate. There are also 2× HDMI 2.1 ports and a USB-C port, which transfers video and data with a single cable while also being able to power compatible devices with up to 90W. The monitor also offers two downstream USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and a combined headphone and microphone output.
AI Sound highlights important in-game audio
AI Sound technology recognises individual audio components like voices, effects, and ambient sounds, and adjusts their delivery to match the in-game situation. It creates virtual 7.1.2 channel sound, which helps you better distinguish dialogue or enemy footsteps. Audio is provided by a pair of integrated 7W speakers.
AI Scene Optimisation adapts the picture to the content
AI Scene Optimisation automatically recognises the type of content being displayed and adjusts the colour temperature, enhancement, and image sharpness accordingly. The settings can adapt to office work, animation, films, games, or sports content without you needing to constantly adjust the parameters manually.

Colour coverage (gamut)
Determines how accurately the monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for the web, films, or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is appreciated by graphic designers or professionals. The higher the value, the better the monitor's colour reproduction.
Maximum brightness
Given in nits or cd/m², this value determines the monitor's brightness level. A brightness of over 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are sufficient with values over 250.
Refresh rate and response time
The refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second – the higher the value, the smoother the image and the less eye strain. A lower response time (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
