OLED monitors have been on the scene for a couple of years, and they’re finally getting cheaper. While I wouldn’t call them “affordable” yet, they’re certainly more attainable.
Take this LG UltraGear 27-inch OLED gaming monitor, for example. Normally $900, today it’s on sale for $630 — and with an extra coupon code, you can get it for as cheap as $567. The bargain hunters at Slickdeals found this one, along with the HECA14701 coupon code that gets you the extra super-duper discount.
LG’s 27GS95QE monitor is a smaller, faster OLED than most popular models. But with a 240Hz refresh rate and a QHD (2560×1440) resolution, it might be the better choice if you’re a fan of fast-paced shooters or other competitive esports games.
Other highlights for this model include Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro compatibility, DisplayPort and dual HDMI inputs, and even a remote control. Sadly, there’s no USB-C video support, though you can connect two USB-A gadgets for data or charging. The included stand is pretty good with vertical adjustment, but you can also mount it to any VESA monitor arm and set it up however you want.
LG includes a longer-than-usual two-year warranty with this monitor, though peeking at the terms it doesn’t say anything about burn-in or dead pixels. That makes it less comforting than the more comprehensive OLED warranties offered by companies like Asus and MSI. Still, this is close to the cheapest OLED gaming monitor we’ve ever seen, and that’s reason enough to consider getting it.
Remember to apply the HECA14701 coupon code at checkout to get the full discount. And don’t be surprised if it doesn’t work — LG’s codes tend to expire after running through initial stock. ($630 is still a great deal, but I’d understand if the difference is enough to make you balk.)
