LG's 27-inch IPS gaming monitor has two HDMI 2.0 inputs and a DisplayPort 1.4 input, and no USB-C. DisplayPort carries the full 1440p@165Hz (180Hz overclocked), while HDMI tops out at 1440p@144Hz. The integrated USB hub provides two downstream USB 3.0 slots for gaming peripherals, and the 3.5mm jack routes audio independently. Here's every port and the cables you'll need.
27-inch QHD Nano IPS gaming monitor with 165Hz (overclockable to 180Hz) refresh rate, 1ms GtG response time, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium, and VESA DisplayHDR 400.

Notes & Compatibility
NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certified, AMD FreeSync Premium. DisplayPort 1.4 required for 180Hz overclock mode and full 10-bit color. HDMI 2.0 ports LIMITED to 144Hz at 1440p – consoles cannot exceed this via HDMI. USB hub requires upstream connection via USB Type-B. 1ms GtG in Faster mode. DCI-P3 98% color gamut. No USB-C video input. Per LG’s spec sheet: HDMI runs 60–144Hz (FreeSync range 48–144Hz) and DisplayPort 60–165Hz, 180Hz overclocked. There are no built-in speakers, so the 3.5mm headphone jack is the only analog audio path; there’s no mic input. LG packs an HDMI 2.0 and a DP 1.4 cable in the box.
