Lots of great looking games just hit storefronts in the last month. You can race across a beautifully detailed fictional version of Japan in Forza Horizon 6 or you can fill the shoes of new MI6 recruit James Bond in 007 First Light. If you want to see just how stunning these games can look, you should consider upgrading your gaming monitor. Right now, Amazon has the LG 27-inch UltraGear OLED (27GS93QE) available at a steep discount. This display which has a list price of $900 is currently down 44% to just $500. You’ll be able to save $400 for a limited time.
Why Go OLED?
OLED is one of those recent technological advancements that you don’t really get the hype of until you see it in action. And once you do, it’s almost a curse, because now you’ll start to notice problems you had never felt before with your old LCD panel. OLED particularly stand out when it comes to contras and how well dark parts of the screen look. You can a real, true black where as older LCD’s version of black can sometimes look more like a very dim dark blue. You get impeccably realistic looking visuals with spectacular color.
This LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitor measures across at 27 inches and supports a resolution of QHD 1440p. At this size, this is all the detail you need. 4K support would only be a marginal improvement, but would jack up the price far too much for it to be worth it. It supports HDR content with a wide color spectrum and it is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, meeting the industry standard for brightness and black color expression with a 1.5M:1 contrast ratio.
