Source3Owner's manualgscs-b2c.lge.com/downloadFileRead 5 October 2026Own page 37 explicit maximum native 4K 160 DP/Overclock On and 4K 144 HDMI. DP requires menu 1.4(DSC), DSC-capable GPU and Overclock On per page 34. Original sheet separately scopes 10-bit 160 DSC On to DP. HDMI page 31 visual table explicitly 8/10-bit RGB 4:4:4 at 4K 144, and own menu On(144 Hz) is required rather than On(120 Hz). Firmware update required for earlier units. Unknown HDMI DSC and DP per-mode chroma omitted. Page 39 has a typo 3480 x 2160 on 160 timing, so explicit maximum 3840 is retained. Lower preset entries alone are not maxima, no lower-mode ceilings guessed. Separate HDMI 8-bit and 10-bit rows reflect both columns explicitly spanning native 144 Hz RGB 4:4:4. Both require HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Color On(144 Hz). Other ambiguous chroma/rate combinations remain unexpanded.4Maker spec sheet (PDF)lgitproductportal.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/27GP950-B.pdfRead 5 October 2026Original visually checked page 1 DP maximum row explicitly 4K 10-bit 160 Hz with Overclock/DSC On and separate 4K 8-bit 120 Hz with DSC Off. Unknown chroma omitted for both DP rows. Unqualified 10-bit 95 Hz line does not explicitly scope DSC Off, so that condition is not inferred. Original HDMI 120 Hz ceiling is earlier firmware, current own manual 144 Hz table is used instead. No HDMI compression claim is in this DP row.
