To compare the S27FG60’s test results, I reached back for data on three other 500 Hz OLEDs: the Aorus FO27Q5P, MSI MPG271QR, and Asus XG27AQDPG. At 480 Hz is LG’s 27GX790A, and at 360 Hz is Philips’ 27M2N8500.
Pixel Response and Input Lag
Is it unfair to include a 360 Hz screen here? Clearly not, because the Philips continues to share the title of World’s Fastest Monitor with the LG at just 10ms of total lag. The S27FG60 isn’t far behind, though at 16ms, which makes it the best-of-the-rest. And I would expect almost no one could tell the difference. The 1ms spread in the panel response test is the same invisible difference. OLEDs have no visible motion blur beyond 200 Hz, so even 240 Hz panels with their 4ms draw time operate with perfect smoothness.
Test Takeaway: The S27FG60 doesn’t quite get to record-setting level, but it is plenty quick. It has no perceptible input lag, and its motion processing is perfect with no visible blur at any frame rate past 200fps. It is one of the highest performing OLED gaming displays you can buy.
Viewing Angles
The S27FG60 has visually perfect viewing angles with no detectable change in color, gamma or brightness at 45 degrees off center. Some QD-OLEDs have a subtle green tint in the side view, but Samsung has avoided this artifact. The top view is a tad red with a slight reduction in gamma and luminance. This is excellent performance.
Screen Uniformity

In most monitor reviews, the 8.06% score posted by the LG would be a top result. But on planet OLED, you need to get under 3% to impress. The S27FG60 manages 2.98% which is among the best I’ve recorded. The OLED category is a standout in this test.
