iiyama is launching its very first OLED gaming monitor, the G-Master GOB2701QSC-B1 Titan Falcon. It’s a 27-inch model with WQHD resolution, a 280 Hz refresh rate, and a fourth-generation WOLED panel from LG Display. But the most exciting part is the price tag: Early retailers are listing it at around 449 euros, making the Titan Falcon one of the most affordable 280-Hz OLEDs in this class.
For years, iiyama was completely absent from the OLED segment. The brand is better known for its mid-range products and, in the past, for CRT monitors. The fact that its entry into the market is coming with an aggressively priced high-end panel of all things is therefore quite a statement.
The most important details at a glance:
- 27-inch 4th-generation WOLED (META 3.0 / Primary RGB Tandem OLED) from LG Display
- WQHD resolution (2,560 × 1,440 pixels) at 280 Hz and 0.03 ms response time (GtG)
- Up to 1,500 cd/m² peak brightness (HDR), DisplayHDR True Black 400
- NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible (48–280 Hz) and AMD FreeSync Premium
- DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, 2× HDMI 2.1, USB-C with 65 W, KVM switch
- Three-year warranty including burn-in coverage; market launch scheduled for July 9, 2026, according to retailers; price around 449 euros
For those generally interested in the topic: The OLED market is currently experiencing massive growth. We recently reported that OLED monitor shipments grew by 92 percent in 2025 — it is precisely this drop in prices that makes a device like the Titan Falcon possible in the first place.
4th-Generation WOLED: What’s Inside the Titan Falcon
For its debut, iiyama has deliberately opted not to use Samsung’s QD-OLED but instead a WOLED panel from LG Display. Specifically, this is the fourth generation, which LG refers to as either “META 3.0” or “Primary RGB Tandem OLED,” depending on its marketing strategy. At its technical core is a four-stack architecture with separate red and green emitters.
The advantage of this design: greater color purity, higher efficiency, and, above all, significantly higher brightness. iiyama specifies a peak brightness of up to 1,500 cd/m² in HDR mode. Across the entire screen, the brightness remains more realistic at around 335 cd/m²—a typical value for this class of panel. Another exciting feature is the redesigned subpixel structure, which promises sharper text. Blurry text display was a recurring point of criticism in older OLED generations, such as the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG from our review.
When it comes to resolution, iiyama keeps it down-to-earth: 2,560 × 1,440 pixels on a 27-inch screen. This remains the sweet spot for PC gaming, as it delivers excellent image sharpness without pushing the graphics card to its limits, as is the case with 4K. With a 280 Hz refresh rate and a GtG response time of 0.03 ms, the monitor is clearly aimed at competitive gamers.

Ports and Convenience: More Than Just a Gaming Monitor
iiyama didn’t skimp on connectivity. In addition to a DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, there are two HDMI 2.1 inputs and a USB-C port with 65-watt Power Delivery. This allows you to connect a laptop via a single cable and charge it at the same time. One minor drawback: The USB-C port apparently does not support DisplayPort mode and operates at 5 Gbit/s.
The built-in KVM switch is handy for anyone who switches between multiple devices. It lets you control two computers with a single keyboard-and-mouse combo. It also features PiP and PbP modes, a USB 3.2 hub, two 5-watt speakers, and customizable LED backlighting. Using the proprietary iiGMasterControl software, you can calibrate and configure the monitor directly from the operating system. The stand offers 150 mm of height adjustment, along with pivot, swivel, and tilt.
And what about the perennial concern with OLEDs—burn-in? iiyama incorporates the usual protective mechanisms, such as pixel shift, panel cleaning cycles, and preventive maintenance functions. It also comes with a three-year warranty that explicitly covers burn-in. The fact that this is now almost standard shows just how much the OLED segment has become mainstream.
Price and Positioning: Is the Titan Falcon Worth It?
The price is the real news. While most high-refresh-rate WQHD OLEDs cost well over 600 euros, several European retailers have listed the Titan Falcon at around 449 to 459 euros. This would make it one of the most affordable 27-inch WQHD OLEDs with a 280 Hz refresh rate on the market. According to retailers, it is scheduled to launch on July 9, 2026.
To put this in perspective: A comparably equipped LC-Power LC-M27QO with QD-OLED and 240 Hz starts at 499 euros, and models from LG, Samsung, or ASUS often range between 550 and 800 euros. So iiyama is significantly undercutting those prices—at least on paper. Independent tests after the launch will have to show how the brightness, text sharpness, and protective features actually perform in everyday use. A 280-Hz WOLED at this price point sounds like a fair deal at first glance, especially for anyone who plays competitively but doesn’t want to spend 700 euros.
Those looking for something higher-end will find a significantly faster—but also more expensive—alternative in LG’s lineup: the UltraGear OLED 27GX790B with its 720-Hz tandem panel. For most gamers, however, the Titan Falcon with its 280 Hz should be more than sufficient.
Conclusion on the iiyama G-Master GOB2701QSC-B1 Titan Falcon
With the G-Master GOB2701QSC-B1 Titan Falcon, iiyama is entering the OLED market late but with a well-thought-out strategy. Instead of showing off with a prestige model, the manufacturer is targeting the value-for-money segment: the latest fourth-generation WOLED panel, 280 Hz, WQHD, a decent selection of ports including KVM and USB-C, plus a three-year burn-in warranty. If the street price stays around 449 euros, the Titan Falcon could become one of the most interesting options for price-conscious OLED buyers. However, only tests following the market launch will provide definitive proof.
