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!

  12. I play competitive csgo (a fps) almost every night. I need a high refresh rate monitor to play that game. G-sync and 240 hz would be perfect. So i would choose the gaming monitor.

    Thanks!

  15. I would like to win the gaming monitor because my computer screen is quite small and not the best for gaming.

  16. I would love to receive LG gaming Tv so my family have 4k smart tv and we can enjoy family time together.

  18. I would go with the lg gaming tv since I’m actually looking to replace my current tv for a newer one

  22. LG gaming TV is the obvious choice. Lg televisions are some of the best on the market. The Lc OLDED CX was the first to implement Usb 2.1. It also has 120 fps and 4k, HDR and Dolby Atmos and vision. Its the perfect television for next gen gaming such as a Sony PlayStation 5 and a Xbox series X. It can also be used as a monitor! If you want the best there isn’t much on the market that’s better.

  23. I would get a gaming TV so I can play games at a faster refresh rate with higher resolution and watch my favorite movies with better resolution.

  24. LG Gaming TV. If I had enough money I would buy one immediatly to experience the full 4k because I never experienced it.

  26. I would choose the Gaming Monitor, because I have been a gamer since I was 11. So, 11.5 years.
    I don’t mean for this to get like dark or whatever, but I’ve been dealing with anxiety, depression and OCD my whole life and the only thing that truly gets me out of those dark thoughts is gaming(and sleeping ofc lol). I live pay to pay, and consider myself the working poor. I truly love gaming but my TV is just so bad for graphics.

  27. LG gaming TV for a great experience and we have too many of us trying to play games on our old equipment

  29. I’m more likely to buy in 2022 a LG gaming monitor because we have LG TVs already. Also for the fast refresh rate.

  30. I am more likely to purchase a LG gaming monitor in 2022 as I spend a lot more time on my computer than my TV.

  31. I would personally prefer the monitor as I can use it for work + gaming which is ideal for me!! although a TV would be amazing as well, I feel the multiple-use case of the monitor makes it much better. In addition, I like the small footprint of the monitor and higher refresh rate.

  33. i want this monitor as it has G-Sync and FreeSync to lessen tearing and a high refresh rate for smoother crisp images.

  35. We would buy a LG gaming monitor, as we already have a smart TV, and we prefer monitors for the framerate. My monitor needs a replacement as well, there’s a line going through it!

  38. This has everything I would ever need. Love the quick refresh rate. I read the reviews and everyone I read is in love with it.

  39. I would likely purchase a LG gaming monitor as the one that I have now is too small and I love LG products

  40. I think we’d be more likely to get an LG gaming TV – we just replaced the kid’s computer monitor and so the older TV is up next for replacement!

  41. TV for me! So that one day, when I finally own a PS5, I will have a beautiful gaming TV on which to pair it with.

  42. I’m most likely to get a LG gaming monitor because I spend more time on my monitor than my TV on average so I’d get more value out of it.

  45. I’m likely to purchase a 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.

  49. gaming monitor so my grand children could play their games on it. bigger screen than what they have now.
