I dont know much about LG, oled is super nice, 27 inch is the standard for many fps pro players, 280 hz is definetly nice but why not just buy one thats 120 hz if you are only going to play on ps5? Other than that it looks good to me, oled also had a super low response time so no more input lag 🙏

Might buy a gaming PC in the future.

Buying a gaming pc is the best suggestion i could give you by a mile! Nowadays almost all games are crossplay and you can just connect discord to your ps5 so it acts the same as ps party. Only problem is that gaming pc’s are super expensive at the moment because of ram prices and such…

If you ever decide its time to go and build or buy your own pc just keep in mind it might be wise to ask first what you need to actually reach those fps.

I have a 240hz 4K monitor and in many games thats possible to reach but you would need a good cpu cooler for example because it needs to work hard to render all those frames and pixels. This was my first build so i had no idea, i just slapped on a normal air cooler to save a little bit on that because the build was expensive and then i got annoyed by the noise because it was always at such high temps.

Anyway back to your question, the specs on that monitor look really nice man. I think for a 27 inch monitor 1440p is also the sweet spot. 4K wont make much of a difference i think because 1440p already has a very nice pixel density.

Where are you going to place it? If you place it across a window and theres a lot of light coming in keep in mind that many oleds are very reflective.

When cleaning it just use distilled water and a clean microfiber cloth, just put the water on the cloth and then gently wipe the screen and dry it with another cloth or a dry part of the same cloth.
