As we enter into the holiday season, there’s one event in particular to look forward to and that’s Black Friday (and to a lesser extent, Cyber Monday). It’s a great time to get some of your gift shopping wrapped up, or for you to get some gifts for yourself while saving some cash. Even though we’ve still got a few more weeks to go, you can find some Black Friday-level deals at Amazon if you look hard enough.
For the PC gamers out there – if you’ve been on the hunt for a new gaming monitor, you can right now save 40% on this LG UltraGear display: It normally goes for $499, so after the discount, it comes down to just $299.
This 27-inch gaming monitor from LG is capable of a QHD resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels. It can achieve high frames per second with its 240Hz refresh rate. And with a 1ms response time, you can expect your controls to feel responsive and snappy. Don’t discount the importance of a fast input time. It could be the difference between feeling like light on your feet or feeling like you’re moving through mud. I’ve been playing Hollow Knight: Silksong at first on an old 2017 Vizio TV on my Xbox, but recently moved over to a new monitor for my PC and it’s night and day. The platforming sections have become a breeze.
The display has smooth visuals with vivid colors and high-resolution graphics made possible via the HDMI 2.1 input and DisplayPort 1.4 input. Both allow for up to 240Hz as well.
A Display Meant for Gaming
A number of features are implemented specifically to aid with gameplay. Switch between preset modes with adjusted settings, optimized for general gaming, FPS games, or RTS games. The Black Stabilizer will increase detail in dark spots so you can easily see enemies hiding in the shadows. The FPS counter and display your real-time data so you can ensure you’re games are running optimally.
The headphone jack is capable of sending over accurate spatialization and localization for games that support 3D audio. Fully immerse yourself in you game, hearing sound from all directions.
The stand is fully adjustable. The LG UltraGear can be slid up and down and titled forward and back. This allows you to perfectly position it in your sight line and even adjust it as you play as your posture changes. Always have the best view possible. If you’re using this as a secondary monitor, you can consider turning the display to stand vertically. This can be great for save space on your desk as well as to read through messages over Discord or Slack in a separate window.
