LG is well known for its range of OLED displays and has quickly become a market leader in the space – particularly for its range of OLED TVs. Aside from that, LG also produces gaming monitors under its UltraGear brand, and most recently, it has launched the 27GX790A-B (the GX7), a 480Hz OLED monitor that boasts some of the best specs currently available. You can currently pre-order it on the LG website.

So, if you’re looking for one of the best OLED monitors right now, the 27GX790A-B is a top-tier pick as we reach the end of the year. We’re sure CES 2025 will be home to even more announcements, but you can now pre-order this new LG display for $999.99.

Pre-orders are “expected to start shipping the week of Mon, Dec 30” according to the LG store, so there’s a little way to go before you can get your hands on one. However, there’s always the possibility of the display selling out. Earlier in the year, the LG UltraGear 32GS95UE suffered from supply issues as a result of high demand, so it’s always a good idea to get your pre-order in nice and early. The 32GS95UE is another OLED display and was highly sought-after thanks to its dual-mode refresh rate design.
