Panel34.18-inch curved QD-OLED, 1800R; 3440 × 1440 (UWQHD), 21:9; 0.2315 mm pixel pitch

1800R is the curve of a circle with a 1.8 m radius; it brings the edges of the wide screen closer to your eyes. The 21:9 ratio gives a wider field of view in supported games and room for two windows side by side.

MSI		27-inch (68.5 cm) IPS, 3840 × 2160, 16:9; anti-glare surface

At 27 inches, 4K means high pixel density; text and detail look very sharp, though Windows usually needs scaling. IPS panels offer wide viewing angles and good colour, but blacks are not as deep as OLED.

LG
Refresh and response240 Hz (48–240 Hz variable range); 0.03 ms GtG

240 Hz is reached at full resolution over DisplayPort 1.4a or HDMI 2.1. 0.03 ms is pixel transition time, not total input lag. Below 48 fps the frame rate falls outside the variable refresh range.

Brightness and HDR250 nits typical SDR; 1,000 nits peak HDR at 3% APL, 450 nits at 10% APL; VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400; 1,500,000:1 contrast

1,000 nits is reached only on bright areas covering about 3% of the screen (explosions, sun glints); as the bright area grows, OLED automatic brightness limiting kicks in.

MSI		—
Colour10-bit (1.07 billion colours); DCI-P3 99.3%, Adobe RGB 97.8%, sRGB 139.1% (CIE 1976)

sRGB above 100% means sRGB content can look oversaturated unless shown in a clamped mode.

MSI		DCI-P3 95% typical (90% minimum, CIE1976); 10-bit (8-bit + FRC), 1.07 billion colours; hardware calibration ready

8-bit + FRC imitates 10-bit gradations with rapid dithering; usually invisible to the eye. Hardware calibration writes settings to the monitor’s own memory.

LG
Variable refreshG-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

Matching refresh to the graphics card’s frame rate reduces tearing and stutter; FreeSync Premium Pro also covers low-latency HDR operation.

MSI		—
Video inputs1 × DisplayPort 1.4a (3440 × 1440 240 Hz); 2 × HDMI 2.1 (UWQHD 240 Hz); 1 × USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode, 98 W Power Delivery)

USB-C takes video from a laptop over one cable and charges it at up to 98 W; the PD charging option must be enabled in the OSD. The USB-C data path runs at USB 2.0 speed.

MSI		—
USB and audio2 × USB 2.0 Type-A, 1 × USB 2.0 Type-B (upstream); headphone out; no built-in speakers

The USB-A ports are for low-speed devices like keyboard and mouse; they are not suited to external SSDs.

MSI		—
KVM and multi-viewBuilt-in KVM; PiP (picture-in-picture) and PbP (picture-by-picture)

KVM shares the keyboard and mouse attached to the monitor between two computers; switching is done via the USB option in the OSD. PbP splits the screen between two sources, PiP shows one in a small window.

Surface and viewing angleAnti-reflection surface treatment; 178° / 178° MSI—
Stand and mountingTilt −5° / 20°, swivel −30° / 30°, height 0–100 mm; VESA 100 × 100 MSIHeight, tilt, pivot; detachable base; cable holder and mouse cable holder

Per LG Canada dimensions, height with stand ranges from 467.7 to 577.7 mm, so about 110 mm of height adjustment. Pivot turns the screen to portrait; swivel is not listed.

Warranty3 years, including panel burn-in

On OLED, images left static for long periods can leave permanent marks; MSI covers this risk under warranty. Terms can vary by country.

MSI		—
Refresh rate and response time—144 Hz; 1 ms (GtG, Faster mode)

LG notes that 1 ms is only achieved with Game Adjust → Response Time → Faster. 144 Hz requires a graphics card with DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) or HDMI 2.1.

LG
Contrast and viewing angle—1000:1 typical (700:1 minimum); 178° / 178°

1000:1 is ordinary for IPS: blacks can look grey in a dark room. No local dimming is listed.

LG
HDR—HDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400; HDR Effect

DisplayHDR 400 is the entry tier of HDR certification; without local dimming, the bright-to-dark range of HDR content stays limited. HDR Effect is a picture mode that makes SDR content look more HDR-like.

LG
Adaptive sync—NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium; VRR up to 144 Hz

Matches the monitor’s refresh to the game’s frame rate, reducing tearing and stutter. According to LG, VRR needs a graphics card with DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) or HDMI 2.1.

LG
Connections—2 × HDMI (2.1), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC); USB 3.0 upstream 1, downstream 2; 4-pole headphone out (audio + mic), DTS Headphone:X

DSC (Display Stream Compression) compresses the 4K 144 Hz signal, which exceeds DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth, with no visible loss. There is no USB-C input and no built-in speakers are listed.

LG
Gaming features—Black Stabilizer, Dynamic Action Sync, Crosshair, FPS Counter, User Defined Key; Hexagon RGB LED lighting

Black Stabilizer brightens dark areas so opponents in shadow are visible; Crosshair places a fixed aiming point at screen centre. Crosshair is unavailable while FPS Counter is on.

LG
Power—External adapter, 19 V / 3.42 A (65 W); 50 W typical, 55 W max; under 0.5 W in sleep LG
