It supports AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible technologies, ensuring perfect synchronization between the display and graphics card to avoid tearing and stuttering.
📒 Expert's note
Tearing occurs when the graphics card sends several images to the screen during a single display cycle: parts of several images overlap, creating a visible split. Stuttering refers to irregularities in the display rate, often caused by an imbalance between the rendering frequency and the display frequency, giving the impression that the image is slowing down or momentarily freezing.
Its 95% DCI-P3 coverage and DisplayHDR 400 certification offer rich, high-contrast color rendering. Its comprehensive connectivity includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, a 65W USB-C port, two USB-A ports and a headphone output. It also integrates webOS 24, providing access to streaming and cloud gaming platforms directly from the screen, without a PC. It also features an AI Image mode, 9.1 audio spatialization and an ergonomic stand adjustable for height, tilt, rotation and swivel. This model proves that the UltraGear series can now combine competitive gaming with advanced multimedia functions.
With these three new models, LG confirms its commitment to making the monitor an autonomous, versatile device, capable of being used in any context: office, living room, gaming or remote working. The Smart Monitor 27U731SA-W emphasizes compactness and ease of use, the 32U850SA-W stands out for its comprehensive connectivity and integrated webcam, while the 32G810SA-W illustrates the intersection of gaming performance and connected intelligence.
