Amazon Cuts Prices on 27-Inch Gaming Monitors to New Lows

The steep cuts signal retailers clearing stock in a market squeezed by new launches.

Overview

  • Amazon listed two standouts Wednesday in time-limited deals, with LG’s 27-inch UltraGear OLED at about $478–$500 and Samsung’s 27-inch Odyssey G5 at $159.99.
  • Mashable marked the G5 price as the lowest on Amazon to date, citing the Camelcamelcamel tracker.
  • Reports differed on the LG baseline price, with Mashable using $799.99 and PCWorld citing $900, putting the discount near 40% to 44%.
  • The LG model pairs a 1440p OLED panel with a 240Hz refresh and 0.03ms response time, though reviews note about 275 nits for standard content and much higher peaks only in small HDR highlights.
  • The G5 offers a 1440p screen, 180Hz refresh, 1ms MPRT, and FreeSync, giving budget buyers a sharper, smoother step up from 1080p at a very low price.
