LG Releases Exclusive ‘League Of Legends’ UltraGear Gaming Monitor

LG has unveiled a new gaming monitor that is specifically designed for gamers who enjoy playing the popular game, “League of Legends.” The monitor features a 27-inch OLED borderless display with HDR10 support and runs at a remarkable 240Hz refresh rate, offering an impressive response time of just .03 milliseconds Gray-to-Gray. A higher refresh rate enhances the smoothness of framerates, resulting in a more responsive gaming experience. While most gaming monitors currently offer a refresh rate of 144Hz or 165Hz, LG has significantly raised the bar with this new display, which may positively impact players who rely on precise frame-perfect actions. Additionally, the monitor boasts a QHD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 and is equipped with anti-glare and low reflection technology.

Aside from its remarkable internal components, the monitor also features a Hextech-inspired design on its exterior, incorporating metal elements and LED lighting to enhance the display’s visual appeal. The device’s settings and options are presented through a unique “League of Legends” interface, specifically tailored for gamers.

Similar to other gaming monitors, this LG UltraGear OLED model, known as the 27GR95QL, allows users to adjust the display’s height and tilt, swivel, and pivot the screen to achieve their desired viewing angle. The monitor is currently available for purchase exclusively through LG’s website, but it is only accessible in select locations, including the U.K., France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Saudia Arabia, and South Korea. As it is a limited edition release, the monitor’s pricing has not been officially announced yet, but it is expected to be relatively expensive compared to similar displays.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Will Have a New Health Feature to Monitor Irregular Heart Rhythm

Samsung is introducing a new Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN) system in the Samsung Health Monitor app. This system will work alongside existing metabolic detection services that monitor heart rate, heart rhythm, and blood pressure. While the app is running, the IHRN system quietly tracks your vitals in the background and immediately notifies you if any irregularities are detected. Atrial fibrillation, while not always immediately concerning, can indicate the potential for stroke or heart disease. Therefore, receiving immediate notifications can be life-saving.

Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics, stated, “Cardiovascular disease remains a significant cause of death worldwide, and we are committed to enabling our users to stay informed about their heart health by providing monitoring tools, including blood pressure measurement and irregular heart rhythm notification. We are constantly exploring new ways to help Galaxy Watch users effortlessly gain deeper insights into their health and wellness, day and night.”

The IHRN feature will come as a standard in the Samsung Health Monitor app and will be available on Galaxy Watch devices. It will be included in the new One UI 5 Watch, set to launch later this year, and will also be made compatible with previous Watch versions.
