Prime Big Deal Days are here, and they present a great opportunity for gamers to fill some of the holes in their setup. Maybe you just came from our roundup of Prime Big Deal Days gaming PC deals, and now you need a fancy monitor. Or maybe you’ve been building a powerful rig for years, and you need a beautiful monitor to top it off. Either way, we have a great gaming monitor offer to spotlight.
The has a substantial $600 price cut today as part of the Best Buy’s competing Prime Day deals.
If you won’t settle for anything but the best and biggest, this $1,100 monitor certainly checks a lot of boxes. And since this $600-off deal is part of Best Buy’s 48-Hour Flash Sale, you’ll only have until the end of the day today to take advantage of it.
Why you should buy the 45-inch LG UltraGear OLED Curved Monitor
The standout feature of the LG UltraGear is its size. While no one can deny that 49-inch monitors like the Samsung G9 are massive, this 45-inch monitor is technically bigger when it comes to screen real estate. Let’s get Pythagorean: The screen isn’t as wide as the 49-inch, but it’s taller. When our gaming computer editor, Jacob Roach, reviewed the similar 45-inch LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B, he noted that “it’s hard to overstate just how big the UltraGear OLED 45 really is.” When you combine such a huge screen with a steep curve like this 45GS96QB-B has, you get a display that is almost overwhelming. Even your peripheral vision is filled with screen.
This LG UltraGear has some other features that make the discounted $1,100 price tag worth it. The refresh rate is 240Hz, which, as a gamer raised on 30fps TVs, I find incredible. LG has released a newer monitor that can hit 480Hz, but that seems like the difference between one billion dollars and two billion dollars to me. Suffice to say 240Hz will give you smooth gameplay with no stuttering or tearing.
We won’t neglect that this is an OLED monitor. Gaming monitors haven’t taken to OLED technology like modern TVs have, but it will guarantee you perfect black levels and incredible contrast. Imagine playing Resident Evil in a dark room and having the edge of the monitor blend into the background. There’s another layer of immersion.
There is one day left of Prime Big Deal Days, making this your last opportunity to buy the 45-inch LG UltraGear 45GS96QB-B gaming monitor for $1,100 — probably until Black Friday rolls around in November. This $600 discount is nothing to shake a stick at, so don’t let it slip away.
