LG's astonishing OLED UltraGear monitors raise the game – again

techradar.com:

LG's UltraGear products have long set the standard for gaming monitors. And LG's 2024 UltraGear monitors have raised the bar so high it's gone into orbit. With up to 30% brighter OLED displays than rival monitors, astonishingly fast refresh rates for stunning performance and a choice of sizes from compact to all-encompassing, there's an UltraGear for everyone.

The 2024 LG UltraGear OLED range features MLA+ technology to deliver groundbreaking brilliance of up to 1,300 nits, up to 30% brighter than the competition, so you never need to worry about being left in the dark. That makes your UltraGear a great gaming monitor and an amazing display for your movie watching too.

LG continues to dominate the industry with its world-first innovations in the gaming monitor market. Where some displays are pretty chuffed with refresh rates of 144Hz, the LG UltraGear W-OLED leaves them in the dust with its refresh rates of 240 to 480Hz. That's astonishingly fast and you can really see the difference: it means silky-smooth performance compared to the competition, delivering speeds that give you the edge in every environment. The LG UltraGear OLED delivers up to 480Hz at 1080p and 240Hz at 4K.

LG's 45-inch UltraGear isn't just big. It's bigger than some 48-inch displays. That's because while some 48-inchers have a total screen size of 4,059cm2, LG's 45-inch model clocks in at a massive 4,550cm2. That's 12% more gaming goodness. And it's more immersive too. LG's 45-inch model delivers 22% more space than Samsung's 49-inch display, delivering a truly exceptional in-game experience.

The thing with some big gaming monitors is that your eyes can't take them all in: their size and more importantly their shape means that there's dead space of as much as 13.9%. That's space you can't see when you're absorbed in the game, so if the game UI or HUD is living in those dead spaces you're potentially missing key information that could give you the edge.
