LG 27-inch UltraGear OLED monitor drops to new low of $379.99
The 27GX704A-B model has fallen $70 from its recent price, marking a significant reduction from its $799.99 launch point and offering a rare glossy finish in the sub-$400 segment.
LG’s 27-inch 27GX704A-B UltraGear gaming monitor is now available for $379.99, representing a $70 reduction from its immediate previous price point. The sale is active at Amazon and directly through LG, establishing a new low for the device. Originally launched at $799.99, the monitor has been priced under $500 since May, but this latest cut places it in a more competitive bracket for consumers seeking high-performance displays.
The hardware distinguishes itself with a glossy WOLED panel, a specification that is uncommon in the sub-$400 market. Most OLED monitors in this price range typically utilise QD-OLED technology, which some reviewers note can exhibit a slight bluish tint in black levels. In contrast, LG’s WOLED implementation is cited for delivering truer-looking blacks, while the glossy coating is described as enhancing colour richness and vibrancy compared to standard matte finishes.
Performance metrics for the 27-inch display include a 1440p resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate. The panel supports a 0.03ms response time and offers variable refresh rate compatibility with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. These specifications are designed to maintain image sharpness during fast-paced motion, addressing common concerns regarding motion blur in high-refresh-rate gaming.
Connectivity options are robust for the price segment, featuring two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, and USB-A ports. This configuration allows for straightforward integration with PCs, gaming consoles, and peripheral accessories. The monitor also includes a fully adjustable stand that permits raising, lowering, tilting, swivelling, and rotating the display into portrait mode, alongside VESA mount compatibility for users preferring monitor arms.
