Nearly Perfect - The 27…

The LG 27GR95QE-B is a fantastic gaming and HDR monitor. The contrast, refresh rate, and gorgeous build quality bring the quality together.
Design:
The monitor looks great, with an adjustable metal stand, easy IO access, and a super slim panel. RGB LEDs are also included, which can be customized to one's liking. Many port options, including USB 3, are also found on the back. Aside from a minor nitpick about the incredibly wide stand feet, I have no real complaints.
Accessories:
A small included box has all the cables you can need, such as HDMI and DP. A remote for easy menu access is included as well! The only strange decision was making the remote's battery compartment accessible via a screw. Perhaps a future model can have a simple pop-off cover?
Display:
This is the real star of the show. As seen in some images below against standard monitors, the OLED's black levels have no competition. The perfect contrast makes the image pop with nice colors. In HDR, small bright object points have great highlights and excellent detail. Gaming in HDR is a joy, with a 240hz refresh rate and VRR. Couple this with the incredibly short response time; this is one of the best competitive or casual gaming monitors on the market. As for the downsides, aggressive ABL on large bright spots can make white pages or large bright elements seem dim. The monitor's matte coating is fantastic against reflections but can appear to have less "pop" compared to glossy OLED panels. Aside from these minor complaints, the monitor is fantastic and sure to impress.
Conclusion:
This monitor shines in nearly every aspect. The 1440p resolution allows for better performance to take advantage of the high refresh rate while being very sharp. I can gladly recommend it to others. For future improvement, making the remote's cover easily accessible, raising the overall brightness, and giving a glossy screen option will make this screen undefeatable.
