Dropping over a grand on a gaming monitor is undeniably a flex, but if you've been waiting for a sign to upgrade your battle station, Amazon just knocked a hefty chunk of change off the crown jewel of LG's OLED lineup.
As of Feb. 20, you can get the LG Ultragear 5K2K OLED Curved Gaming Monitor (45GX950A-B) for $1,350.18, down from $1,999.99, at Amazon. That's a 32% discount or $649.81 savings.
While $1,350 is still a splurge, this is a pretty good price for an ultra-wide screen of this caliber. The curved display features "Dual-Mode" capability, which essentially serves as two separate monitors. When you want to get lost in a story-driven game, you can run the panel in 5K2K (5120 x 2160) resolution at 165Hz. But if you’re playing a competitive shooter where frames matter more than pixels, a hotkey instantly switches the screen to Wide Full HD and cranks the refresh rate up to 330Hz.
