LG is launching a 27-inch 4K OLED monitor in 2021. The news comes from HDTVTest’s Vincent Teoh, who discovered a certification on South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency website alluding to a new, smaller-sized OLED display with the model number 27EP950.

OLED.... HDR 400

It's a total facepalm every time I read HDR400 for anything. It's bad enough the HDR is so inconsistent on the PC but 400 is useless. You really need 1000 to make it work. For content creation this might cut it though but I have doubts. Seems to me you'd want to be able to see more, not less, for content creation.

True but they're marketing this one for creatives instead of gaming which makes it even more odd that they didn't go with a panel with higher brightness. Everything else pretty much checks off but that for creative purposes.

27" is too small for creative work imho, unless strictly a display and not a work space
