If you're shopping around for one of the best monitors you can buy, then you're most probably going to come across LG's range sooner or later. The LG UltraGear GX7 is brings a feature set that's particularly aimed at gamers – if you prize speedy refresh over ultimate resolution.

The model I'm reviewing here is the LG 27GX790A, featuring a 26.5-inch screen and 480Hz refresh. I've spent a couple of weeks testing it out in all the key areas that matter. As well as running games to tackle that refresh rate, I've also gone in on more menial tasks, such as day-to-day work and watching movies.

So how does it stack up? The LG 27GX7 is a 5-star stunner for the right user, as I'll explain in this review. If it's not the monitor for you, however, and you're seeking the best monitors for a MacBook Pro, perhaps the best monitors for home working or, indeed, one of the best 4K monitors then check out our other guides.

There's no need to wait for the LG UltraGear 27GX790A: it's out and available to buy right now.
