Display
Display type
IPS, LCD, LED-backlit
The type of technology used in the 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.
screen size
27"
The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.
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.
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.
Adaptive synchronization
Nvidia G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
The type of adaptive synchronization technology supported.
has anti-glare coating
✖LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
Anti-glare helps to reduce the external reflections of light coming from outside the display.
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.
Horizontal viewing angle is the maximum angle at which a display can be viewed with acceptable visual performance.
General info
Type

height
353.1mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
width
607.1mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
thickness
53.3mm
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
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.

display colors
1070m
Number of colors that a display can accurately reproduce.
bit depth
10-bit
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.
contrast ratio
1000:1
