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!

  3. I’m much more likely to purchase a gaming monitor as I primarily spend time on my computer, and while I use to have 2 monitors I had a pop explosion ruin my nice gaming monitor and haven’t been able to reasonably afford to replace it.

  4. I would like to have the LG gaming monitor because I liked all the reviews.Plus,my daughter hogs the TV screen, and I could use this prize.

  6. I’m far more likely to buy a LG gaming TV, after sitting at my desk all day I have a hard time with PC gaming

  8. I would purchase the LG gaming monitor because I work from home and could use it for the office then use it to game when I’m not working. Better for my eyes than what I have now.

  14. LG gaming monitor would probably be the upgrade

    Currently running a 1080p 144hz, time for an upgrade!!!!!!

  17. I’d go with a LG gaming monitor, I just got an LG oled tv, so a gaming monitor would be great, especially 200+hz.

    I have four adult children and five grandchildren who would
    really enjoy using this gaming monitor. Also my husband and myself
    enjoy playing games but our monitor is so small and old it really
    needs to be replaced. Thank you for the chance.

  29. LG gaming monitor. My boys are into gaming and want to set up multiple monitors.
    Though I do need a new tv soon so the boys might be out of luck.

  30. I would most likely buy a LG gaming monitor – my monitor has needed replacing for a very long time now, there is a black streak running through the centre of it. This one would be perfect for my household!

  33. I would choose an LG Gaming Monitor as it be more portable and would have amazing resolution. It would be easier to keep in a separate room away from a regular television.

  34. Gaming TV. My current tv is over 10 years old now, I’m surprised it’s still running, but it’s not even full 1080p HD. It definitely needs an upgrade.

  36. I would love a newer bigger gaming monitor for my son! He’s a huge gamer, and his monitor is the oldest part of his setup.

  39. I’d buy LG gaming TV so I can use for both gaming and movie watching, I just need a bigger and better monitor,,Thanks
