Samsung has hit a new high here with 500Hz on an OLED panel, surpassing the recent 480Hz achieved by an LG gaming monitor – also a 27-inch,

A curved monitor is one of those things you kind of need to see in person to understand the true benefit.

The UltraGear 27GX790A (or GX7 for short) is priced at $999.99 and is built around a 480Hz panel from LG Display announced in early January with a 2560 x 1440 resolution and 0.03ms response time.
