LG’s new OLED monitor is big enough to replace your TV

LG is already an OLED TV king, but when it comes to PC monitors, the company's OLED offerings are scant. That's changing this summer with the LG UltraGear 48GQ900 announced this week. Just like LG's other OLED monitors, you can expect this to be a lavish display for those with extreme needs and large budgets.

Aimed at console and PC gamers, the 47.5-inch OLED screen will have a 4K resolution at 120 Hz (overclockable to 138 Hz) and a 0.1 ms gray-to-gray response time. Some people consider 120 Hz beneficial for watching content made at 24 fps, like movies, in order to avoid the judder you might get with some 60 Hz displays. All that, combined with a generous panel size, makes it easy to see the monitor being a living room TV replacement, especially for a cable-cutter. It will even come with a remote.

For extreme competitive PC gaming, however, it's worth noting that you can now reserve an OLED monitor with a 240 Hz refresh rate.
