This evening LG Launched its new UltraGear gaming monitor lineup, featuring three new (32GQ950, 32GQ850 and 48GQ900) models. The two new 32-inch models offer blazing refresh rates, 98% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, and 1ms response times. The 32-inch Nano IPS with ATW Polarizer models also come with Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync compatibility.

Let's be honest; we're most excited about the 48GQ900 48-inch 4K OLED with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, covering 98.5% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and is compatible with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync. The 48-inch gaming monitor also comes with a pair of 20W speakers to enhance the overall experience.

The LG UltraGear 32GQ850 gaming monitor features a 32-inch Nano IPS panel with a 240Hz refresh rate that can be overclocked to 260Hz and a speedy 1ms response time. The VESA DisplayHDR 600 certified display is Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync compatible and arrives with two HDMI ports, one display port, and three USB Type-A ports. The 32GQ850 seems to offer the perfect balance of resolution and fast refresh rates that gamers love.

I love a massive monitor, and the LG UltraGear 48GQ900 gaming monitor looks to be an exciting entry into this market. The 48-inch 4K UHD OLED panel is rated at 120Hz of refresh rate and can be overclocked to 138Hz of refresh rate, which is pretty darn speedy for a gaming monitor of this size. When you add the 0.1ms response time, AMD FreeSync, and Nvidia G-Sync capability, the 48GQ900 makes the gaming muscles twitch. The 48GQ900 comes with three HDMI ports, one display port, 3 USB Type-A ports, and a pair of 20W speakers.

I can't wait to get my hands on these new UltraGear gaming monitors from LG and put them to the test. I wonder if they will make it onto our best gaming monitors list? I would be remiss if I forgot to mention that all the new UltraGear monitors also come with a 4-pole headphone jack that "allows users to plug in a gaming headset and chat as they play," which is a lovely addition.

We have no pricing for the new LG UltraGear monitors, but we will update you all as soon as we do.
