Specifications

SpecificationValue
Panel27-inch IPS; 3840 × 2160; 16:9

IPS panels offer wide viewing angles and consistent colour; black level stays behind OLED and VA panels.

Pixel densityPixel pitch 0.1554 mm (about 163 ppi)

A small pixel pitch makes text sharper; 4K at 27 inches makes interface elements smaller.

Refresh rate180 Hz at 4K; 360 Hz at Full HD with Dual Mode

Dual Mode lowers the resolution to Full HD to allow a higher refresh rate; the image is less sharp in that mode.

Response time1 ms GtG (at the Faster setting)

LG gives this figure for the fastest response time setting; it gives no figure for other settings.

Brightness and contrastTypical 400 cd/m² (minimum 320); contrast 1000:1

1000:1 contrast is typical for IPS; blacks can look grey in a dark room.

HDRHDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400

DisplayHDR 400 is VESA’s lowest HDR certification tier; HDR content plays but bright highlights stay limited.

ColourDCI-P3 95% (typical, CIE1976); 1.07 billion colours; factory calibration

DCI-P3 coverage describes how much of the wide colour space used in films and games can be shown.

SyncNVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, AMD FreeSync, VESA Adaptive-Sync

Variable refresh matches the screen to the graphics card’s frame rate, reducing tearing and stutter.

Video inputs2 HDMI 2.1, 1 DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC)

DSC uses visually lossless compression to fit a 4K 180 Hz signal into DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth.

USB1 USB 3.0 upstream, 2 USB 3.0 downstream; no USB-C

The USB ports act as a hub; no USB-C connection for video or charging is listed.

AudioHeadphone out; DTS Headphone:X; no built-in speakers listed

Headphones or external speakers are needed for sound.

StandHeight, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustment; VESA 100 × 100

Pivot lets the screen be used in portrait; VESA 100 × 100 fits standard monitor arms.

PowerExternal adapter; 100–240 V; under 0.5 W in sleep

The external adapter keeps the monitor thinner but takes extra space on the desk.

Size and weightWith stand 24.2 × 21.0 × 8.7 in (raised), 16.3 lb (about 7.4 kg); without stand 24.2 × 14.6 × 2.0 in, 10.8 lb (about 4.9 kg)

Owner experiences and issues

  • Most reviews on Best Buy Canada are syndicated from Best Buy US and were collected as part of a promotion. Positive reviews highlight the sharp 4K picture, easy setup and Dual Mode; Nadim says they kept it over an OLED and a mini LED monitor tried at the same time because of text clarity. On the negative side Walter and LGultra find brightness low, especially in game mode, and ALBERTC reports a vertical line on screen after five months. ECXZ says the screen occasionally stays black after the PC restarts and replugging the HDMI cable fixes it. Vincent returned it because it has no USB-C, JacobG only noticed afterwards that it has no speakers, and DeshawnS is unhappy that the 360 Hz mode works only at 1080p rather than 1440p.

    About 100 reviews (January–October 2026) shown on Best Buy Canada listing 19873519 were read; most are promotional syndicated Best Buy US reviews. 32GR93U reviews in the pool were excluded. Individual reports; no failure rate was drawn.
