The Brighter & Sharper Ultimate 5K Gaming Display
LG UltraGear evo AI GM9 introduces Hyper Mini LED, a next-generation display technology designed to enable ultra-high brightness and ultra-high resolution 5K gaming.
Ultra-High 1250nits Brightness
Powered by next-generation Hyper Mini LED technology, 27GM950B reaches up to 1250 nits of peak brightness, achieving VESA DisplayHDR™ 1000. Its ultra-high brightness helps maintain clear and consistent gaming visuals even in bright indoor environments, allowing high-quality gameplay. (27GM950B offers a peak brightness of 1250 nits, measured under internal test conditions. Actual brightness may vary by usage environment.)
HDR 1000
Explosive Highlights and Precise Shadows
VESA certified DisplayHDR™ 1000 enhances contrast to reveal intense highlights and refined shadow detail in games. Bright, high-impact effects appear more vivid and clearly defined, while dark scenes retain texture and clarity without losing detail. Colours are displayed with high fidelity within the DCI-P3 99% (Typ.) colour gamut.

Anti-Blooming Game Visuals
With 1.5x more local dimming zones (2,304 zones) and 5.9x more LEDs (9,216 LEDs) than conventional Mini LED (Based on internal comparison with LG conventional Mini LED (27GR95UM)..), Hyper Mini LED delivers superior peak brightness and clear visuals. Plus, Zero Optical Distance technology minimises the panel-to-backlight gap to near zero, effectively reducing light bleed and blooming effects.
Ultra-High Resolution 5K Gaming
Sharper Detail in Every Pixel
Experience refined clarity with the 27-inch 5K (5120x2880) display. Compared to FHD (1920x1080), 5K resolution (5120x2880) delivers dramatically sharper detail and enhanced visual definition, creating a richer and more immersive visual experience.
5K AI Upscaling
No GPU Upgrade Required
UltraGear evo™’s built-in processor powers 5K AI Upscaling, intelligently enhancing content to 5K resolution from any device. Without additional GPU or hardware upgrades, it intelligently upscales content to deliver sharper detail and improved resolution. (Upscaling performance may vary depending on the input source quality. No GPU upgrade required for AI Upscaling functionality. A compatible external device (PC/GPU/console) is required for game operation.) (Based on published specifications of gaming monitors as of March 2026, LG 27GM950B is the first gaming monitor to support AI upscaling to 5K resolution.)
High 218 PPI Clarity for Both Gaming & Productivity
With a high 218 PPI (Pixels Per Inch), it delivers a precise gaming experience and better productivity. During gameplay, in-game texts, UI elements, and fine details appear sharper and more defined, making HUDs (Head-Up Displays), menus, and on-screen information easier to read. It also enhances clarity for text-heavy tasks such as document editing, web browsing, or coding.
