LG 27EP950 with a Ultra HD OLED panel running at 60Hz
LG's 27EP950 (designated 27EP950-B due to its black rear) joins its larger brother in the UltraFine OLED Pro series as a color-focused product using this panel technology. With a brushed metal stand base and a broad cylindrical neck, the monitor is straightforward and modern in design.
A 26.9-inch JOLED OLED screen with a resolution of 3840 x 2140 (‘4K' UHD) and a refresh rate of 60Hz is used. Similar to the bigger form, a very light matte ('semi glossy') screen surface is expected. Additionally, a 1M:1 static contrast ratio, 178°/178° viewing angles, and full 10-bit color are included. The monitor is factory calibrated and may be calibrated manually using a suitable calibration device and LG Calibration Studio (True Color Pro). The color gamut is specified to be 99 percent DCI-P3 (99 percent Adobe RGB), with a'minimum' brightness of 250 cd/m2. To help prevent burn-in, a brightness limiter is used, which may dim the display when predominantly brighter information is displayed. The monitor supports HDR10 content via VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black, which features a peak luminance of 400 cd/m2 and the obvious benefits of self-illuminated pixels. Along with the 10-bit color capabilities, the reasonably broad color spectrum can be put to good advantage. The OSD (On Screen Display) is accessed through a joystick positioned beneath the primary brand logo.
A 1ms grey to grey reaction time is provided — unlike LCDs, this is a reasonable depiction of expected performance without the need for extreme overdrive. Additionally, Dynamic Action Sync (DAS) is supported, a built-in function that minimizes input lag. The stand attaches centrally and detaches effortlessly through a quick-release clasp beneath the connection point, revealing 100 x 100mm VESA mounting holes. The stand tilts, swivels, and adjusts in height. The ports are positioned backwards in a recessed region to the right of the stand and feature a USB-C port (90W PD, DP Alt Mode, upstream data), two DP 1.4 ports, HDMI 2.0, three USB 3.0 ports (with upstream), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a DC power input (external 'power brick').
The display is listed at an absurdly high price of $3000 USD.

Finally OLEDs are getting smaller size monitors but 60HZ is bad and the price is also very bad.
Also why on earth are they still releasing new monitor lines but not including the latest HDMI standard. I get it's not needed on this monitor as it's only 60HZ but come on use the latest tech ffs.
You're one of those people where if they used 2.1 you'd whine why use 2.1 when its only 60hz.

I'm fine with 60Hz, just not the price.
I think i'm gonna hold out until MicroLED, but fear that's 10 years away from a monitor.

seeing as this is a pro monitor I chanegd my comment but...
wouldn't oled burn be more of a problem for a graphics pro ? also don't they use bigger screens than this ? or would this be just one of the monitors ?
I'd still buy one of the tvs frankly mine with tweaked settings still look better than anything I have ever seen..stupid HDR or not
I hate HDR I just watched malignant yesterday and as usual HDR is garbage, no sky is ever a cold white 1mio lumen led ramp in your face, 9/10 HDR makes things look like someone just messed up with the contrast, super fake
the lack of hdmi 2.1 makes me think those are gaming monitor prototypes or rejects I wouldn't be surprised if they were a "limited run"
