LG has finally revealed the price of its LG UltraGear 48GQ900 OLED gaming monitor, making it available for pre-order three months after it was first announced in March.
The monitor currently appears to be only available in the UK, where it will be sold exclusively at Overclockers UK for £1,400 (US$1,724). The peripheral is LG’s first OLED gaming monitor and is priced comparable to the LG C2 Smart OLED TV in the UK NotebookCheck pointed out.
Availability of the gaming monitor outside of the UK remains unknown.
In comparison the LG C2 Smart OLED TV is sold in the US in its 42-inch option for $1,400, but it’s also available in 48-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch options that quickly top that price. OLED panels are much more common in the TV market and the LG C2 series uses advanced OLED evo panels, the publication added.
The LG UltraGear 48GQ900 has a 47.5-inch panel with a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 and a minimum refresh rate of 120 Hz, which can be overclocked to 138 Hz. It is still unclear what type of OLED technology is used in the monitor, which is still not too expensive for its size.
Traditional OLED is known to be an expensive technology, which is probably why monitor adoption has been so slow and many brands have turned to cheaper alternatives. The popular Alienware 34 monitor costs just $1,300 and features a Samsung QD OLED panel, for example.
Other specs for the monitor include a 10-bit panel, HDR support, anti-glare coating, 1ms gray-to-grey response time, DCI-P3 color gamut with 98.5% coverage, built-in speakers, and a purple theme in the rear part. It also has two additional HDMI ports, a DisplayPort and a headphone jack, as well as AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility.
There is no exact release date for the LG UltraGear 48GQ900, but Overclockers UK said it expects to receive stock in August.
