LG UltraGear 27GP850 and 27GP950 now with VESA AdaptiveSync Display certification!

According to the company, the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) awarded the two gaming monitors with the AdaptiveSync Display certification by passing their rigorous requirements and tests.

VESA AdaptiveSync Display certification

The UltraGear 27GP850 and 27GP950 passed more than 50 test criteria of the VESA Adaptive-Sync Display Compliance Test Specification (Adaptive-Sync Display CTS). 

This is thanks to the monitors' fast Gray-to-Gray (GTG) response times and low latency which met or exceeded the test scores specified in VESA's new open standard.

To recap, these two are 27-inch gaming monitors featuring LG's Nano IPS panels offering high refresh rates and a 1 millisecond GTG response time. This allows its users to enjoy fluid gaming play and sharp, clean images for both PC and console games. 

The VESA Adaptive-Sync Display CTS creates a clear, consistent standard for display performance of gaming monitors and helps consumers to make informed purchasing decisions, said Jim Choate, compliance program manager at VESA. World's first products to wear the new AdaptiveSync Display logo, LG's UltraGear gaming monitors performed remarkably well in all applicable tests.

 

We are proud that LG UltraGear became the first-ever monitors to receive VESA AdaptiveSync Display certification, said Seo Young-jae, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. With upcoming 2022 models including UltraGear 27GP95R, we will not only meet the high standards of VESA's performance tests, but also satisfy the expectations and diverse needs of today’s consumers.

FYI: The new VESA AdaptiveSync Display logo helps consumers to easily identify and compare the variable refresh rate (VRR) performance of gaming displays supporting VESA's Adaptive-Sync protocol before they buy.
