300Hz refresh rate for perfectly smooth action
A refresh rate of up to 300Hz allows the monitor to display exceptionally smooth motion and significantly reduces blurring in fast-paced game scenes. This makes it easier to catch sharp changes in direction, fast-moving opponents and details that might be lost at lower frequencies. The LG UltraGear 27G550B-B provides the necessary fluidity, especially for racing games, shooters and other competitive titles. Achieving the maximum frequency also depends on your computer's performance, the interface you choose and your game settings.
1ms GtG response time for fast gaming reactions
The 1ms GtG response time in Faster mode helps to reduce unwanted trails behind moving objects and inverse ghosting. Individual frames alternate faster and the image stays sharper during sharp camera movements or rapid scene changes. The short response time supports more precise reactions and smoother dynamic gameplay.
Smooth picture with NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium
NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium technologies synchronise the monitor's refresh rate with the frame rate of a compatible graphics card. They help reduce screen tearing, stuttering, blurring and other distracting effects when the frame rate fluctuates. The result is a more consistent and smoother picture that better immerses you in the game. The monitor also supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR).
IPS panel with HDR10 and a wide colour spectrum
The IPS panel offers wide viewing angles of 178° horizontally and vertically and helps to maintain consistent colour reproduction when viewed from different positions. Typical coverage of 99% of the sRGB space allows for a wide range of shades to be displayed and supports a more faithful rendering of the game environment. HDR10 technology expands the possibilities of working with colour and brightness to make dramatic scenes more impressive and natural. The monitor can display 16.7 million colours.
LG Switch – convenient monitor settings from your computer
The LG Switch application allows you to adjust image quality, brightness and other settings directly from your computer and quickly activate the selected values using a keyboard shortcut. It also offers Dual Mode, a Personalized Picture Wizard function, and the ability to split your desktop into 11 different layouts. You can launch a video call with a single click via the app, so you can easily adapt the monitor for gaming, work and communication. The app needs to be downloaded from the LG website.
Dynamic Action Sync – faster response to in-game action
Dynamic Action Sync helps reduce the input lag between your command and its display on the monitor. A mouse movement, button press, or other action can thus be reflected more quickly. In competitive gaming, it allows you to react more promptly at key moments.
Black Stabilizer – more detail in dark scenes
Black Stabilizer brightens darker parts of the image and improves the visibility of details hidden in the shadows. This allows you to better distinguish opponents, obstacles or objects in dark rooms and during rapid changes in lighting. The function gives you a clearer picture without having to significantly brighten the entire scene.
Crosshair – a target point in the centre of the screen
The Crosshair function places a fixed aiming point directly in the centre of the screen. This helps to make aiming easier in shooters, especially in situations where the game does not display its own crosshair or it is not very prominent. More precise orientation in the centre of the screen can help you target an opponent faster.
FPS Counter – keep an eye on your current frame rate
The FPS Counter displays the current frames per second directly on the screen. This makes it easy to check how smoothly the game is running and how changes in graphics settings affect your computer's performance. You have the frame rate data available in real time without having to use another overlay application.
Ergonomic stand and virtually borderless design
The three-sided, virtually borderless design focuses attention on the image and makes it easy to set up a multi-monitor workstation. The space-saving L-shaped stand reduces unused space on your desk while offering a wide range of adjustment options. You can adjust the position of the monitor by changing the height, tilting, swivelling to the sides and rotating it 90° using the pivot function. A VESA 100 × 100mm mount is also available.
Wide range of connectivity options
The LG UltraGear 27G550B-B monitor offers two HDMI 2.0 inputs and one DisplayPort 1.4 for connecting a desktop computer, laptop or games console. The equipment is complemented by a three-pole 3.5mm output for transferring sound to headphones or external speakers. A DisplayPort cable is included for easy connection to a compatible device.

Colour Gamut
Determines how accurately the monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, films or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is appreciated by graphic designers or professionals at work. The higher the value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
Given in nits or cd/m², this value determines the monitor's brightness level. Brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values above 250. Refresh rate and response time
The refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the picture and the less eye strain. A lower response time value (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
