LG’s 27-inch Tandem OLED gaming monitor now available at a lower price.

The price of LG’s UltraGear 27GX700A-B 1440p gaming monitor, which launched last August, has dropped to one of its lowest points yet. You can snag it for $484.99 on Amazon or $499.99 directly from LG, down from its original price of $599.99. This is a solid deal for a monitor featuring LG’s Primary RGB Tandem panels, utilizing fourth-generation WOLED technology that offers enhanced brightness and improved contrast, rivaling QD-OLED displays.

This model is perfect for gamers with PCs designed for smooth 1440p gameplay. It boasts a 280Hz refresh rate, dual HDMI 2.1 ports, and a DisplayPort 1.4 connection, along with an impressive .03-millisecond response time, all wrapped in a sleek design. Additionally, it includes USB-A ports for connecting peripherals and a headphone jack for private audio.

The 27GX700A-B is compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync, allowing for variable refresh rates that help maintain a smooth image even when frame rates fluctuate. While we haven’t personally tested this model, reviews from various sources indicate it may have “distracting VRR flicker,” which could vary depending on the game being played.

Despite recent price increases in computer components like RAM and storage, it’s refreshing to see OLED gaming monitors becoming more affordable. While some gamers might opt for budget-friendly IPS and VA panels, it’s great to have more chances to invest in cutting-edge display technology for your gaming setup.
