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!

  8. I would like to purchase the LG gaming monitor as it would be easy to configure it with my current setup and the NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD Radeon FreeSync will enhance the display.

  9. I am more likely to buy an LG gaming monitor. I have several LG appliances in my home and I am quite impressed with them. My husband loves to play Skyrim and a Flight simulator on his computer which is old. We are both retired now and it would be so nice for him to be able to relax and play his games on a monitor of quality and good graphics.

  10. I am more likely to purchase an LG gaming monitor, better for my PC setup and it’ll be really flashy!!

  11. I would like this monitor as it would be a great upgrade to what I am using now.
    Awesome contest to enter thank you.

  12. As strange as it sounds, this monitor would be a lot easier to see and hear, as one gets OLDER, these two scenes, go down hill.

  15. I am more likely to purchase an LG gaming monitor. I am a senior but still like to play computer games like Starcraft.

  20. I would probably purchase a LG gaming TV because then everyone in the household can use it, whether it’s for tv or co-op gaming!

  22. We are mostly to purchase an LG UltraGear monitor because getting the most from our gaming is the most important thing for us in 2022.

  24. I’d be more likely to buy the LG gaming monitor. I need a good monitor for work as well as gaming.

  32. I would buy a LG gaming monitor to compliment my new game development build. It would allow me to get better view at every detail, and the upgrade in refresh rate would help immensely with eye strain from spending all my time in front of it.

  33. I would buy an LG gaming monitor because my son has now taken an interest in games on the computer. He would think I’m a hero if I got him an LG gaming monitor.

  38. A monitor would be my go to option for gaming. While there are good reviews for TVs with low response time the cost to performance just is not there when gaming machines can output audio along other lines and do video in another.

  39. Versatile and great refresh rates – exactly what is needed for gaming (and a bit of TV watching)

  40. LG Gaming Monitor, I would like a PROPER second monitor for my PC setup. Right now I just have a 1080 60hz secondary monitor.

  43. The LG gaming TV would work better in our home, the versatility suits our whole family and the cost is better for us.

  44. I would choose the LG gaming monitor because I watch my streaming services on my TV via ROKU with the whole family. I would not like to do other things on my desktop computer setup.

  48. I would likely 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 eventually wont go blind from too much gaming.

  50. LG gaming TV. Now that we got a Xbox series X, would love to see the console with HDR turned on and high frame rate on the TV.
