Model—27GX790A-B (US version 27GX790A-B.AUS)

LG’s US spec sheet carries a 2024 copyright; LG Brazil lists the model as a 2025 product.

LG
Panel—26.5-inch (27-inch class) OLED, 16:9

The actual viewable diagonal is 26.5 inches.

LG
Resolution and pixel pitch—2560 × 1440 (QHD); 0.2292 mm pixel pitch

QHD at 27 inches means lower pixel density than 4K; small text looks less crisp but high frame rates are easier to reach on the GPU.

LG
Response time—0.03 ms (GtG)

Grey-to-grey pixel transition time; it is not input lag.

LG
Brightness—Typical 275 cd/m² (min 250); HDR peak at 1.5% APL typical 1,300 cd/m² (min 1,040)

1,300 nits applies only to small highlights covering 1.5% of the screen; on a full white screen OLED automatic brightness limiting kicks in.

LG
Contrast—1,500,000:1 (typical)

OLED pixels can switch fully off, so black level is near zero; LG’s page notes the figure is measured at 25% APL.

LG
Colour—DCI-P3 98.5% (CIE 1976); 10-bit (1.07 billion colours)

The sheet lists a paper calibration report in the box.

LG
HDR—HDR10; VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400

True Black is the VESA HDR tier for very low black-level displays such as OLED.

LG
Variable refresh—VESA AdaptiveSync; NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

Variable refresh matches the panel to the GPU frame rate to reduce tearing and stutter. LG’s page also lists VESA ClearMR 21000 certification.

LG
Screen surface—Anti-glare, low-reflection front polariser LG
Inputs—2× HDMI (HDMI 2.1 FRL compliant); 1× DisplayPort 2.1

FRL is the high-bandwidth transfer mode of HDMI 2.1. There is no USB-C video input.

LG
USB and audio—USB 3.0: 1 upstream, 2 downstream; 4-pole headphone out (sound + mic); DTS Headphone:X

No built-in speakers are listed.

LG
Power—External adapter, 100–240 V; under 0.5 W in sleep, under 0.3 W off

The sheet does not list typical power consumption.

LG
Burn-in care—OLED Care

LG says the feature helps prevent burn-in from static high-contrast images left on screen for long periods but may not prevent all image retention.

LG
Size and weight—With stand 23.8 × 22.8 × 9.8 in (raised), 20.5 lb; without stand 23.8 × 13.8 × 1.8 in, 11.2 lb

About 9.3 kg with stand, about 5.1 kg without.
