Dough launches its 27-inch / 240 Hz OLED monitor. It features an LG Display panel, but to stand out, the brand has opted for a glossy rather than matte finish, and has also improved the connectors.
After the LG 27GR95QEthe turn of the Dough brand to present a 27-inch OLED monitor reaching a refresh rate of 240 Hz: the Spectrum ES07E2D.
This monitor in 16:9 format, whose marketing is planned for 2023, offers a maximum definition QHD (2560 × 1440). The company claims that it is the “first OLED display truly designed for gaming”; in fact, it features a 240 Hz OLED panel from LG Display and therefore shares most of the specifications of the aforementioned 27GR95QE, such as a gray to gray response time of 0.03 ms or NVIDIA G-SYNC / AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility .

Some welcome additions
Dough, however, made some changes. First, this is a glossy monitor, not a matte one. And for good reason: according to the company, “the Dough community has made it clear that the reduction in reflections isn’t worth the drop in black levels, sharper detail, and color vibrancy.” Typical brightness is advertised at just 150 cd/m², compared to 200 cd/m² for the UltraGear, although Dough claims up to 450 cd/m².
In addition, on the connection side, while the LG monitor only offers a pair of unspecified HDMI ports, a DisplayPort port and a two-port USB 3.0 hub, with its screen, Dough notably offers two HDMI ports. 2.1 with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X console support, DisplayPort 1.4 as well as USB Type-C port with USB-PD charging of 100W.
The company delivers various comparisons highlighting its monitor but also its own virtue.
Price and availability
The Spectrum OLED QHD 240 Hz (ES07E2D) is currently listed on Dough’s website where potential customers can sign up to receive an exclusive pre-order invitation at a special discounted price. The discount is not negligible, since pre-orders start at 749 euros and will gradually increase to the recommended retail price of 1,199 euros by the release, which is scheduled for July 2023.
