LG's 27-inch 4K Nano IPS gaming monitor was one of the first to ship dual full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports, each carrying the 48Gbps needed for 4K at 120Hz from a PS5 or Xbox Series X. Its DisplayPort 1.4 input adds Display Stream Compression to reach 4K at 144Hz (160Hz overclocked) from a PC. There is no USB-C video input here, so laptop users will need DisplayPort or HDMI. A two-port USB 3.0 hub and a 3.5mm headphone jack round out the connections, and the panel runs from an external power brick.
