LG Makes a Bold Claim - 1ms IPS Gaming Monitors inbound
At this year’s E3, LG is unveiling the new LG UltraGear Nano IPS NVIDIA G-SYNC gaming monitor, the world’s first 1 millisecond (ms)1 IPS display. The UltraGearTM is a gamer’s dream come true, employing Nano IPS technology to achieve phenomenal color reproduction, ultra-fast response time and a refresh rate of 144Hz, overclockable to 175Hz.
With blazing speed and stunning picture quality, LG’s monitor is the complete package, enabling players to enjoy the most immersive gaming experience yet.
Available in 38- (model 38GL950G) and 27-inch (model 27GL850) screen sizes, both UltraGear Nano IPS monitors feature fast 144Hz refresh rate, high screen resolutions (38GL950G: 3840 x 1600, 27GL850: 2560 x 1440) and wide color gamut (DCI-P3 98 percent) for incredibly vibrant, flicker-free detailed images. The larger monitor is designed to increase gamers’ sense of immersion with its 21:9 aspect ratio, curved screen, virtually borderless design and the upgraded Sphere Lighting 2.0, RGB lights on the back of the monitor that heighten the ambience when gaming by altering the colors of the lights to match the on-screen action. The 27-inch UltraGear is NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible** and supports HDR10 while the larger 38-inch model supports both NVIDIA G-SYNC processor, VESA DisplayHDR 400 and is certified by NVIDIA through over 300 tests for performance and image quality to provide a great gaming experience. Both monitors deliver smooth motion without tearing or stuttering and include gamer-specific settings such as Dynamic Action Sync mode, Black Stabilizer and Crosshair for ultimate accuracy, especially in FPS games.
LG UltraGear Nano IPS gaming monitors are set to roll out next month, with pre-orders for model 27GL850 commencing in the United States on July 1 with availability in key European markets in the third quarter of this year.

Not that I've seen. Now that I've been spoiled by AMOLED on my phone and LG's OLED on my TV the only thing I see when I use my monitor is subpar black levels.
I've been waiting for the ASUS/Acer FALD VA Ultrawides since 2017 - part of me thinks they might be cancelled but they were rumored to have a static 2500:1 contrast ratio which is much better than any IPS i've seen. With Mini/MicroLED coming up though I'm wondering if it's just worth waiting for that.

meanwhile my cheap 10 years old 22 inch 16:10 monitor is still my secondary although i had to repair it my self with a cheap 3 bucks soldering iron literally an iron with a power plug
if they open and then they shut down after showing picture for 1 or few seconds ...or opening and closing is the capacitors you can easily do a fix your self for like 1-2 bucks for the right capacitors .... fixed 8 monitors like that last 6-7 years ((not just lg ))
My LG monitors are dying with just a couple years use. I think they should check their quality standards as I probably will be looking at another brand for my next purchase.

Quite interesting that they turned some specs around for the 27", at first it had G-Sync and a 165Hz OC possibility. 600 to 650 would be a great price for these.
