Today Amazon has dropped the price of the new 2024 LG UltraGear 27GS95QE 27" OLED gaming monitor to $696.99. It normally retails for $900. This is the best price out there right now for a 27" OLED gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate. We rated the previous generation GR950QE model as the best 27" 1440p OLED gaming monitor of 2024 (at the time of the post, the newer GS950QE hadn't been released yet).
27" LG UltraGear 27GS950QE OLED Gaming Monitor $697
The new 2024 LG UltraGear 27GS95QE replaces the previous year's 27GR95QE. At first glance, these two monitors look largely the same, however the 2024 GS95QE is a much brighter monitor. That's a welcome improvement considering OLED monitors in general are not as bright as other panel types. It also helps that right now, the 2024 GS95QE is $100 less expensive than the older GR95QE.
This is a 27" 2560x1440 (1440p) monitor that boasts a 240Hz refresh rate. At 1440p resolution, even today's mid-range cards (like the RTX 4070 or 4070 Ti) are capable of achieving 240Hz+ framerates, especially on older games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, or Warzone. OLED panels offer nearly infinite contrast ratio thanks to their ability to display true blacks. They're best-in-class when it comes to accurate color reproduction and HDR performance. OLED panels also boast near instantaenous response times, so ghosting is non-existent. In comparison, IPS, VA, TN, and even Mini-LED panels can't even come close.
LG also includes a 2 year "zero burn-in" warranty. Burn-in is probably the biggest fear that prospective buyers have when looking at a new OLED purchase. Burn-in warranties are uncommon and a two year burn-in warranty is only reserved for LG's gaming monitors, NOT for their OLED TVs. That's yet another reason to choose a dedicated OLED monitor over converting an OLED TV to monitor use.
