LG’s UltraGear 27GX700A-B just became a far more tempting buy. The 27-inch 1440p gaming monitor, built around a new Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel, has dropped from its $849.99 launch price to $649.99 in the US—a 23% cut that undercuts many rivals and makes it the most affordable Tandem OLED monitor you can pick up right now.
Why this deal matters
This model isn’t just another OLED. Tandem OLED brings meaningful upgrades over 2nd- and 3rd‑gen WOLED panels, delivering significantly higher brightness and notably better text clarity. That combo makes the 27GX700A-B a rare all‑rounder: a blisteringly fast gaming display that also feels comfortable for everyday productivity.
Brightness that finally does HDR justice
One of the standout specs here is peak HDR brightness. With up to 1,500 nits, highlights look punchy and realistic, helping HDR games and movies pop in a way most older OLED monitors simply couldn’t match. It’s also certified for DisplayHDR True Black 500, and it covers 99.5% of the DCI-P3 color space for rich, accurate color.
Speed for competitive play
A 280 Hz refresh rate and VRR support keep fast-paced titles silky smooth. While some recent OLEDs push even higher refresh figures, the 27GX700A-B trades a small slice of speed for big gains in brightness and clarity—arguably the upgrade most gamers and mixed‑use users will notice day to day.

Where it fits in
This UltraGear goes toe‑to‑toe with 27-inch OLED contenders like the Gigabyte MO27Q28G and the Asus ROG Strix XG27AQWMG. With the latter still awaiting a wider US rollout, this price drop gives LG a compelling advantage for anyone shopping today. And compared to some ultrafast OLEDs focused purely on refresh rate, LG’s Tandem OLED approach delivers a more balanced package that shines in both gaming and everyday use.
Deal takeaway
At $649.99, the LG UltraGear 27GX700A-B brings flagship‑class HDR brightness, an esports‑ready 280 Hz refresh rate, and genuinely improved text clarity to a more approachable price point. If you’ve been waiting for a 27-inch QHD OLED that excels in games and doubles as a sharp, comfortable display for work, this is a standout pick while the discount lasts.
