LG gaming monitor contest
LG gaming monitors are the kind of upgrade gamers crave. Face it, doing anything interesting or important without a decent monitor is more challenging than it needs to be. If your monitor is slow, then you can’t help but be distracted by the latency. If your monitor presents colours that are not accurate, then you can miss important details or, at the very least, may notice them too late to benefit your performance. However, with a monitor like the LG UltraGear 27″ FHD 240Hz 1ms GTG IPS LED G-Sync FreeSync Gaming Monitor we are giving away in this contest, you will be ready to take on the most visually demanding games available.

LG displays have a reputation for excellence

You are likely familiar with the amazing televisions produced by LG. Those have been among the very best screens you can buy: a reputation that continues year after year. Their monitors are similarly impressive. However, the UltraGear line of gaming monitors stand out as a gamers ultimate choice for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons are covered in Brad Moon’s detailed review of this monitor.

To start with, the 240Hz refresh rate is amazing. Consider that many monitors are refreshing the screen at half or a quarter that rate. You might think that you never noticed that to be problematic in the past. However, there are numerous studies supporting the view that a faster refresh rate is easier on our eyes, and enables quicker reactions to changes on the screen. That isn’t likely to affect us when watching a movie, likely shot at much less than 60 frames per second. Gaming, though, is much faster as your reaction time may determine the difference between winning and losing. As you get better at gaming, you’ll want the competitive advantage that a really fast refresh rate provides.

LG UltraGear monitors ensure you’re getting the best gaming experience

Optimum performance of a monitor during gaming depends on many technologies working together. The software in the game needs to be accurately interpreted by the graphics card in your computer and the signal sent from the graphics card needs to be reliably synchronized with the refresh rate of the monitor. When this is done poorly you get visual aberrations on the screen. For example, you may have heard of screen tearing; sections of the screen seem to break away from where they should be (like if a character’s head may be several inches from their body). Obviously distracting for you and possibly fatal for the character (haha). LG Monitors have a variety of synchronization technologies built-in. NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD Radeon FreeSync keep the visual display stable. In additions, Dynamic Action Sync reduces the lag between you hitting a key or controller button, and your character responding accordingly to avoid or initiate an attack.

Gaming monitors are designed for optimum gameplay. You may, however, be thinking: we need a new TV and a new monitor but our budget this year forces us to choose one or the other. Sometimes life is about compromise. If getting the most from your gaming is the most important thing for you this year: get an LG UltraGear monitor! If you know you will need a new TV this year and will have to wait until next year for a gaming monitor, get the next best thing … an LG gaming TV! As I said, LG TVs are legendary. Their gaming TVs have incorporate many technologies to enhance gaming, despite not having all of the great features of an LG UltraGear monitor.

Then there is the possibility that you enter this contest and I draw your name in a few weeks! There is the dream: win the LG UltraGear Monitor and then buy an LG gaming TV for the best of both worlds!

  1. I would definitly buy a LG gaming monitor for my computer, a gaming tv just doesn’t do enough for me

  2. I would be more likely to buy an LG gaming monitor because my monitor is about as old as 16×9 monitors get, while my tv is still less than 10 years old.

  3. I would rather buy the gaming monitor as i sit pretty close to my monitor so my monitor or tv can’t be too large otherwise it would be bad for my eyes.

  4. I would rather buy the gaming monitor as i sit pretty close to my monitor so my monitor or tv can’t be too large otherwise it would be bad for my eyes

  7. I’d likely buy a gaming TV – I’m a fan of LGs TVs and would want to connect both a computer and consoles to it.

  15. I’m more likely to buy the monitor because I’m in dire need of 240hz. monitor. Looking to take my gaming to the next level!

  25. My son definitely needs an LG gaming monitor! He would be thrilled to play with the amazing graphics quality.

  26. As someone who plays a lot of FPS games, I think the high refresh rate monitor at 240Hz would be a big upgrade to my setup from my current 75Hz monitor.

  30. I would like to purchase an LG gaming monitor because I play a lot of games and maybe the faster refresh rate is easier on our eyes and I evenually wont go blind from too much gaming.

  31. Hi, an LG gaming monitor because it can double for doing work. And doing work with a TV doesn’t work for everyone. Thank you

  32. First, we are most likely to purchase an LG Monitor in 2022 because we need to replace our old one for a high performance monitor and be able to see accurate colors and details.

    Second, the LG Ultra Gear 27GP750 Gaming Monitor is the right size, a really nice size choice for a gaming monitor.

  35. I would take an LG gaming TV. My TV is ancient and I’d like to start getting into some controller gaming in the living room. My competitive mouse and keyboard gaming days are behind me.

  39. Definitely the LG gaming monitor. I feel that the 27″ to 32″ size range is perfect for gaming. I’ve gamed on both a monitor and TV and the crisp and responsive play on a monitor is unmatched.

  40. I would get an LG gaming monitor because I have a good TV but I don’t have anything for gaming that I can attach to my laptop.

  43. For sure the LG gaming monitor. Would be a perfect upgrade to my 22″ office monitor i am currently using.

  44. LG 27-inch Ultragear QHD Gaming Monitor is On Sale and so is the LG UltraGear (27″, 1440p, 144Hz) Nano IPS Gaming Monitor.

    LG UltraGear 27GN950 has a fast and overclockable refresh rate and fast response time but inconsistent backlighting and light leak issues; stand does not pivot and is weird looking and awkward, fully controlling and calibrating requires juggling a bunch of extra software plus the onscreen menu. No HDMI 2.1 but that’s coming…very soon.

    That being said LG still has the lead in producing fast responsive gaming monitors and will remain competitive in this area. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

  49. I would buy the LG gaming monitor because it has LED and it would match my custom build! Would look so awesome on my desk!
