LG releases 27-inch Ultra-HD monitor designed for gaming

It seems like the era of 4K Gaming is upon us. LG just announced a 27-inch 4K monitor designed for gaming. The new LG 4K ULTRA HD monitor (Model 27MU67) will be rolling out this month in select markets worldwide.

The 16:9 aspect ratio 27-inch class monitor, which is specifically designed to provide a premium gaming experience, boasts a large viewing area and a 3840 x 2160 screen resolution for a 4K visual experience.

LG’s newest monitor is intended for the graphics-intensive visuals and fast-paced action of today’s 4K Real-time strategy (RTS) and First-person shooter (FPS) games. The monitor supports AMD’s FreeSync technology with a refresh range of 40-60Hz. FreeSync eliminates image-tearing and stuttering, which occurs when the monitor and graphics card are out of sync. The result is a smooth and seamless gaming experience, with fluid motion and no loss of frame rate.

The LG 27MU67 offers both In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel and Dynamic Action Sync (DAS) mode, reducing input lag to only 9.7 milliseconds, making it among the fastest 4K monitors on the market today. With the Game Mode hot key, users can individually customize the monitor’s settings for each game to optimize the gaming experience. Black Stabilizer illuminates dark scenes and helps to clearly define the black areas where objects and enemies could be hidden. What’s more, the Flicker Safe function lowers the risk of eye fatigue during marathon gaming or work sessions.

“A monitor with sharp picture quality, high field of view and less input lag is a must-have for today’s serious gamers,” said In-kyu Lee, senior vice president and head of the TV and Monitor Division at LG Home Entertainment Company. “The LG 27MU67 not only delivers on all counts, it is an excellent 4K Ultra HD monitor for professionals and non-gamers alike who want to design, edit or just watch movies.”

The LG 27MU67 will be available starting this month at select retailers in the United States, Germany and Australia followed by its worldwide rollout. Details of availability and pricing will be announced locally.
