The VESA mount is a standard used by most manufacturers. A device that supports the VESA mount can be mounted on many different supports, from arms to wall mounts.
4.height
353.1mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product. We consider a smaller height better because it assures easy maneuverability.
5.width
607.1mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product. We consider a smaller width better because it assures easy maneuverability.
6.thickness
53.3mm
We consider a thinner chassis better because it makes the product more compact and portable. Thinness is a feature highlighted by many manufacturers of mobile devices, but it is essential for a wide range of products.
7.weight
7.67kg
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
8.bezel size
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The bezel size on a device is the extra space that surrounds the actual screen. The smaller it is the more aesthetically pleasing it appears.
Devices with height adjustment provide a full range of height possibilities resulting in maximum comfort.
Display
Response time is how long it takes for a display to change the state of pixels, in order to show new content. The less time it takes to respond, the less likely it is to blur fast-changing images.
The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.
3.resolution
3840 x 2160px
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
4.pixel density
163ppi
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
5.has an IPS screen
✔LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
IPS (In-Plane Switching) is a technology used for LCDs. It was designed to overcome the main limitations of conventional twisted nematic TFT displays: limited viewing angles and low-quality color reproduction. PLS (Plane-to-Line Switching) is a type of IPS screen developed by Samsung, with increased brightness and lower production costs.
6.Has an OLED or AMOLED display
✖LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays are formed of organic materials that emit light. They have higher contrast ratios and wider viewing angles compared to LCDs. AMOLED and POLED are types of OLED displays.
7.has an LED-backlit display
✔LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
Uses LED backlighting, resulting in better image quality, more vibrant colors and richer blacks.
8.has anti-glare coating
✖LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
Anti-glare helps to reduce the external reflections of light coming from outside the display.
9.refresh rate
144Hz
The frequency at which the screen is refreshed. Higher frequency results in less flickering (less noise) and more natural movement representation in action-intense scenes.
Colors
1.brightness
400nits
A nit is a measurement of the light that a display emits, equal to one candela per square meter. Brighter displays ensure a screen's contents are easy to read, even in sunny conditions.
2.supports color calibration
✔LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
A properly calibrated screen represents colors as they are and i.e. you can conduct a photo shoot while verifying your photos in real time. An internal sensor and/or colorimeter is usually included for trouble-free calibration.
3.display colors
1070m
Number of colors that a display can accurately reproduce.
4.contrast ratio
1000:1
Contrast ratio is the visual distance between the lightest and the darkest colors that may be reproduced on the display. A high contrast ratio is desired, resulting in richer dark colors and more distinctive color gradation.
5.has an ambient light sensor
✖LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
An ambient light sensor adjusts the luminance of the device according to the amount of natural light that surrounds it.
6.Adobe RGB coverage
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
This shows the percentage of Adobe RGB covered by the device.
Connectivity
1.has an HDMI output
✔LG UltraGear 27GN950-B

Newer USB versions are faster and have better power management.
9.Has USB Type-C
✔LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
Power
How much power the device consumes when it's switched on.
The power consumption in standby mode, also called energy-saving mode, measures the amount of power the device consumes when shut down but still plugged in.
3.annual power consumption
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The more power per year a device consumes, the less energy efficient it is, making it more costly over time.
4.has a sleep timer
✔LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
A sleep timer is a function that shuts off the power after a preset amount of time.

The display supports HDR10, which is an HDR (high dynamic range) video technology. Compared to standard dynamic range (SDR) video, HDR10 video has greater contrast and color depth, resulting in more realistic images.
2.bit depth
10bits
Bit depth is the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel. The more bits, the more color range a panel displays. An 8-bit panel uses 256 levels per channel and displays 16.7 million colors, while a 10-bit one reaches 1024 and displays 1.07 billion colors.
The global median price is determined by calculating the median value of all the prices available for a product, taking into account all markets.
