LG and Samsung OLED Gaming Monitors Drop to Steep Holiday Prices

Retailer and manufacturer discounts are cutting flagship OLED gaming monitor prices to near-yearly lows and making high-refresh panels more affordable for buyers.

Overview

  • The LG 27GX790B-B 27-inch UltraGear QHD OLED is listed at $699.99 on Amazon, with a used 'Like New' option shown for $664.99 through Amazon Resale.
  • Samsung’s 32-inch Odyssey G8 (G81SF) QDOLED 4K 240Hz monitor is available on Amazon for $720.23 after an on-page coupon, undercutting its usual $1,300 list price.
  • LG’s 4th of July sale includes multiple marked-down UltraGear and UltraFine models such as a 32-inch 4K 165Hz for $800 and a 27-inch QHD 540Hz for $700, offering discounts up to $700 on select displays.
  • These models highlight different technical approaches to long sessions and fast gaming: LG’s dual‑mode OLED can switch between high-resolution and ultra-high refresh rates, and Samsung’s Odyssey G8 uses an OLED Safeguard+ pulsating heat pipe system to better manage heat and reduce burn‑in risk.
  • Because the offers are retailer- and time-limited, buyers should check seller listings, clip required coupons at checkout, and weigh short-term savings against return policies and burn‑in mitigation when deciding whether to buy or buy used.
