I was able to test the monitor and I am very satisfied with it. OLED is really beautiful compared to an IPS screen, what a difference! In the twilight/darkness the monitor really comes to life in terms of colors. I just feel like playing my old games again. The brightness is fine for a bedroom, direct sunlight is not recommended but that is not the case with any screen. The design of the foot is also very nice, this is not a mega large foot that sticks out on all sides but is handy to put something on, your phone for example.

The LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B is an absolute game changer for competitive gamers. With its 1440p WOLED panel and 480Hz refresh rate, it delivers unprecedented sharpness and smoothness. OLED technology delivers perfect blacks, vibrant colors, and extremely high contrast, making games look incredibly realistic. HDR content pops off the screen without the washed-out effect that some other monitors have.
Thanks to FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync, images remain smooth and tear-free, even at low FPS. The audio output is a handy addition, and the compact stand saves space. Although there is no Black Frame Insertion (BFI), the monitor offers exceptional clarity and motion sharpness. 480Hz feels revolutionary, provided your hardware can handle it. For those looking for the ultimate OLED gaming experience, this is definitely a monitor to consider.
