The 27-inch Mini LED display costs $1,200 and offers 5,120 x 2,880 resolution, 1,250 nits peak brightness and 2,304 local dimming zones.
It supports 5K at 165Hz or 1140p at 330Hz through Dual Mode, plus Nvidia G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium and AI upscaling, image and sound optimisation.
LG says the monitor, announced at CES, also includes DisplayPort 2.1, USB-C and 90W power delivery, with launches in other markets planned later this year.
