Gaming monitor deal: Save 50% on the LG UltraGear OLED curved gaming monitor

SAVE $703: As of Nov. 11, the LG 34-inch UltraGear OLED curved gaming monitor is on sale for $696.99 at Amazon — that's 50% off its list price of $1,399.99.

'Tis the season for upgrading your gaming setup. While it may still be a few weeks until Black Friday, you can already pick up a curved OLED gaming monitor for half price.

As of Nov. 11, the LG 34-inch UltraGear OLED curved gaming monitor is on sale at Amazon for only $696.99 instead of the usual $1,399.99. That's over $700 or 50% in savings and only $23 shy of its best price ever. There's a chance we could see the price drop even lower as we get deeper into the holiday season, but there's no guarantee — and to be honest, it's going to be hard to beat 50% off.

Making the switch to an OLED monitor on its own will completely transform your gaming experience. Add the ultra-wide curved display of the LG UltraGear and you'll go from just playing games to being submerged in them. The 34-inch WQHD display features a steep 800R curvature and a 21:9 aspect ratio, which means the screen will wrap the action around you. Just note that curved displays do take up a bit more desk real estate than a typical flat screen monitor and they take a bit of getting used to. They aren't everyone's cup of tea, though everyone from gamers to artists to multitaskers can truly benefit from the wrap-around display.

The LG 34GX90SA-W UltraGear also packs a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility. That's a pretty solid spec lineup for most gamers. Sure, they now make monitors with refresh rates of 500Hz. But honestly, that's overkill; most people likely won't notice a huge difference beyond the 240Hz mark, as our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) pointed out. Other features include plenty of ports and the ability to double as a smart TV with built-in webOS.
