A button on the joystick drops the panel from 4K at 240 Hz to 1080p at 480 Hz, using the same physical pixels four at a time rather than scaling them — LG calls it Dual Mode, and it is what lets one screen serve both a cinematic single-player library and a competitive shooter.
Best for: One monitor covering both a single-player library and a competitive shooter

LG UltraGear 32GS95UE: what it gives up
- Full-field SDR brightness sits near 275 nits, so a sunlit room will beat it
- That 1,324-nit figure needs the peak-brightness control on High; at the default certified setting the same window measures closer to 630
- The matte coating raises black level slightly under room light compared with a glossy OLED
- No USB-C input at all, which is an odd omission at fourteen hundred dollars
- WOLED subpixel layout still puts colour fringing on small text in Windows, though less than the first generation
- Burn-in risk is real with a static taskbar, and the mitigation routines need the monitor left on standby to run
LG UltraGear 27GS95QE: what it gives up
- 1440p at 26.5 inches is 46 pixels per degree — the pixel grid is visible on text if you look for it
- WOLED's white subpixel puts colour fringes on thin black-on-white text, which is worst in a code editor
- No USB-C, no KVM, no speakers — this is a gaming-only feature set
- Static UI elements need the automatic dimming left on, and that dimming is visible when a bright window is open
